You should name this as "101 sarcasms: new AIB production"
Sir invite Kunal shah sir and also ashneer Grover sir...❤❤❤
Kamath, Have every heard of any invention/app from IITs since inception in 1960s after spending thousands of crores every year? Plz pay attention to something that should be intriguing - why IITs, AIIMS, IIMs, etc have a Federal Law? Till 1950s Indian universities like Mysore, Madras, Osmania, Pune, Calcutta, etc were top but once these IITs, AITEC, UGC etc was created thru law post independence, they all lost autonomy while Union govt gave full autonomy to IITs, IIMs, AIIMS, etc. Across India, Creativity, innovation etc was killed in one shot. By pumping funds with "tough" exams, elevate {fakely) IITs, etc to "world class" & rest designate as "local" pathetic colleges. Funnily local college engineers have to write same GATE exams by IITs without enjoying autonomy that of IITs! Why state Universities & colleges not given same autonomy? Why IITs, IIMs, etc cant compete on equal basis?
How far can you be from reality?
Screwala and Kotak: Yes
Agreed
😅
They're pretending to be cool basically
So funny to watch!
Only Gaurav was relatable.
How much sense Gaurav makes
Others are out of touch with reality and elitist and thinks everything is ideal
Exactly
Sir, the mass population of india is deprived of quality life. For us education is still a resource to lead a quality life. It is not a way of life. As long as it remains the only solution from sliding into poverty, education will remain a commodity in India.
Education is very important. These so called pseudointellectuals are misguiding youth of India.😊
@@BharatMata20But education is ok like everybody gets you agreed with me but do we have an vocational culture about training.... Like we are producing civil engineers software engineers but than what next..
This topic is so important, especially for our country which is at an inflection point. India is currently in a sweet spot in terms of geopolitics, demographics, political stability etc. But for India to achieve its potential, we desperately need to get our education system right.
The discussion started well but then I don't know which tangent it took, I couldn't understand the relevance of what was being said, especially by Ronnie. Nikhil, your USP is that even though you are a self-made Billionaire, a common person can relate to you because of you seem grounded and have not forgotten how 99.9% of Indians live.. please don't let these discussions become a pontification session by fellow billionaires. I assume the objective of making these videos is to share knowledge and spread awareness. It would have been such a value add to us if the discussion would have been around A) Issues- how our current system is Rote based, how we lay emphasis on marks rather than learning, how our curriculum doesn't help us develop analytical skills etc. B) Solutions - how can we use technology to democratize learning, where people dont have to rely on CBSE/ICSE/NCERT textbooks for real learning. How using technology we can usher in a revolution just like Mr. Nilekani's team did with Aadhaar, UPI, OCEN.. How we can create modules on AI/ML/AR/VR/Blockchain which will be available at low cost and accredited and accepted by all reputed institutions in India. That is the need of the hour for aspiring engineers who are still made to read about CD-ROMs and floppy disks.
Nicely explained 👍
Perfectly replied.
Elite billionaires talking from their ivory towers. Has no relevance to 99% of India. Please get guests who are more connected with real India. Ronnie was just giving abstract gyaan.
Exactly what I wanted to say. Cheers bro 👍
But still the top notch companies prefer IIT IIM Tags more than anything.Job description have specifications listing Need IIM from Tier 1 colleges.
Can't tell you how many scientists,astronauts,F1 drivers,Soccer stars died there itself before even turning 17.
Sir, Please invite Kunal Shah
Really waiting for Kunal ❣️💚😎
Yes, that episode would be wild if kunal comes to his podcast.
Hell no, there are already tons of videos of Kunal giving gyaan.
For what 🙄 all he did just made cash burning companies and sell it
Yess
Why Indian Education System Won't Make You S̶u̶c̶c̶e̶s̶s̶f̶u̶l̶ Educated
Soft skills - reading, comprehension, writing, articulation, and public speaking.
Certainly one of the best videos I have seen by far on TH-cam. Really thought- provoking perspectives. I think this is the beauty of TH-cam, you're getting a lot of perspective which noone could get 20 years back.
Feeling as if I am watching kids talking irrelevant things. Yet I think these respected gentlemen are working on great stuff, huge respect.
Just a suggestion: Talk something that is relevant and we can connnect it.
They aren't talking irrelevance.
Agreed
Oh I got it. You mean they aren't upto the mark in their conversation
Totally agree with Nikhil our second son who is now Co founder of a global venture though a very bright kid has issues with teachers who try to snub intelligent kids in order to hide their own ignorance . But stars shine anyways . 👏👏
Thank you Nikil bhai. Education always guarantees jobs. Yes many people were forced to do odd jobs with less pay and more work. Many youths are depending on govt jobs with high cost
absolutely true , people learn to earn money . Learn to enjoy is just for privileged
If TH-cam is a parallel school then it is def. without clear validation process for its students. I learnt lot more by sitting down and thinking through a problem to solve it knowing I need to submit my assignment next day.
One of the flaw in Indian education system is its ragging culture, still prevalent in Medical & Engineering colleges. Also, lack of study groups, bars where people would come & discuss ideas, instead of other people's background, religion & caste.
Its our natural instinct
Indian society is based on this
Learning for the sake of learning really hit hard. We have the urge to seek profit for everything we do. May it be a new skill, certification or undertaking a project. Even so as to reading a book of whether it will enhance my career. Really informative video
We are attacking the sanctity of competitive exams, we are pretending that everyone is capable of being good at a particular job/system and selling it. There maybe problems with the system but everyone (100%) of the people in our world will not reach their full potential, the idea that they can reach their potential is where edtech earns their money.
Why does a coder need to learn physics ? Or a doctor, geography ? People can learn more without the help of textbooks. We are seriously undervalueing the role of technology in shaping a human academically and knowledge wise. Most students dont possess any real knowledge of the subject and the ones that do have knowledge know it up to what is there in the textbook. Bookish knowledge with which their skills are neutered. Competitive exams are extremely parochial and are used to curtail the true capabilities of a student
Insightful. Thanks for bringing such topics. We are learning🎉
I think unacdemy founder understand much better the basic problem of unemployment in India in between among all 4 of u ..,... Nd I also feel prblm nd solution both r actually available in this video I saw it....I think u should also watch this video again nd again at least 20-30 times then u actually spot the problem nd also get solution too.... Nd believe me made crazy profit too
Interesting one, although I think it went a little abstract in the middle part onwards.
The question of whether our education should be solving for the wholeness of a human being as compared to marks and money that one can make is an important one. Or can they go together.
Schooling needs to be revolutionized, probably I'll revolutionize it.
Great insights on the evolution and reality of education systems in India. Hard Skills + Soft skills + Demanding Role will be the center point to get the right opportunity and long term sustainable success.. Keep up your great work going!
super Nikhil anna! Even I am one of those 1% people who learn just for the sake of "learning".
I believe what you guys were discussing was about how you eventually get success and what things really prepare you for that
Which are reading, superskills, communications, interpretation, and all sorts of things, whereas Unacademy founder was talking about to even reach that stage where you can think of growing you have to start with something.
I'm an international student studying in Canada, and trust me even to get a walmart job. You need referals(a superskill)
So the thing which he was saying is true, and you guys gave the solution to it
Imo
Hello , I want to ask question.....
Is Zerodha something in crypto and blockchain space in future ?!
All are discussing education and educating . but what are we educating . human mind . for what are we educating it ? that is very the schooling parts comes in . If we step back and ask why are we educating a human mind , the answer is civilisational upgrade . now it is going to be a trend depend on what set of problems the civilisation and its cultural denomination is working on . The Broader and simple solution to all forms of education is How can we train the brain to Learn and adapt quickly . My Answer to the whole Debate is this , Train the brain necessary fundamentals to all forms of learning , funnel education as system to certain goals and let the educated mind join a conformist institute to reach the goal .
Please define successful, then we will check if Indian education system will make one successful. Success doesn't mean only entrepreneurial success. So many salaried employees have a successful career
Unacademy ceo is just a smart emotional talker …………😅
I think the conversation startes well in right direction. But, it lost its direction and agenda.
sir , we can’t compare school education to youtube…ie fame , success & followers. School teaches us how to handle all this while studying..once you got first in class but in next year that teaches us to be sit with same students & friends again..success is momentary..honestly speaking..base of TH-cam spread is money & recognition..
Totally agreed
Bro wo 1 ya 2 saal me sikh jaate he but it's extremely lengthy not required
How many students get first in class (in a class of 52) ? A competitive spirit that punctuates false morality and false discipline in the guise of shaping a student becomes the pernicious direction- maker. TH-camrs have freedom and they have choice. Students dont have freedom in any aspect. They are forced to learn redundant content which is of no value in real life and are forced to rub shoulders with the debris of humanity. Teachers dont take any responsibility. If school taught us anything, it means that there will always be slaves and defenders of slavery. School doesnt teach us what fame is like in the real world or mental health for that matter so stop commenting using your mere fingers and start commenting with your soul
@@luckydude3764Bhai emotional ho gya 😅
Sorry, Nikhil. The video was as broken as our education system. Nobody clearly gave the answer to the question in your title, instead these were just random points
Excellent piece
But you guys will hire from iit and iims only. you would not hire someone who is smart but went to an average scool. my sister works in microsoft and she is an arts graduate. in india tcs will not even accept her cv if she is not a science graduate
Bro i am also an arts graduate can you please guide me how your sister join Microsoft 🙂
what wonders me is people with better and wide exposure of life and education, should be more considerate of other people's reality and not confined to there bubble. if they cant look at reality objectively, what better at education they had, explaining "real education"
💯 true 🥰
thanks to gaurav for trying to keep this conversation grounded.
We are asking questions about education and schooling who don’t have the clarity of it. Bring some educated person.
Education is the most important thing ..sad to see entrepreneurs dissing education ..not all can or will be entrepreneur
Nikhil is right however saying education is irrelevant in a country like India is something scary since education gives them break from poverty
He is saying from his own perspective as a trader and entrepreneur who was a school dropout. If someone has the same drive and thirst for knowledge and grit to venture out on their own, school is definitely not required if one attains knowledge through books/internet. But if someone is seeking a job, to prove one is educated does require credentials.
Well, these guys are asking questions as if on a spree, but not answering even one of them with substance. Please keep the no. of questions limited and take everyone's perspectives to then discuss over it.
Same here even I don't like my school at all...
In the current era of rapid changes, many driven by tech, what one learns in school becomes obsolete very quickly, even at top schools. The ability to learn and apply that quickly becomes key to success. That is one major reason why India will succeed in coming future. Because most other national citizens want to apply what they learned and do not want to radically shift their careers. So in a way, not learning much at school is beneficial in current environment.
Respected sir - Truly appreciate your intent and bringing in different flavors /dimensions from interesting personalities to talk about key subjects which keeps the audience captivated for more than 20 mins!
Having stated the same - It would be gr88 if we can have a round table about the TRUE education and nurturing ; required for an inner child to bloom, to challenge the negative thoughts, overcome insecurities, practice self-acceptance which I think is crucial for all of us and every single person irrespective of their age, caste, gender etc deserves a good mentor and that ‘one’ understanding soul (even post therstudies) who can show the mirror and guide on the way forward..thanks again.
What defines being successful then, according to these billionaires.
Weird to see someone complaining about badges who classifies educators based on badges earned in his platform.
Please get ashneer Grover on this show
Well, In such an unpredictable world,
collecting badges helps only a small chunk of people who were able to secure the shiny ones.
The better solution is to design the education system such that it equips young minds with the necessary tools that enable them to navigate modern chaotic world & make a place for themselves.
What you think these new age tools should be?
Very relevant topic but very superficial discussion with unnecessary upgrad mentions. Didn't give a direction to questions asked
03:16 Roman sir crack exam that why unacademy grow in TH-cam you.
In TH-cam you need luck to grow.
Hard work will take time on TH-cam but when you reach 1M club then you understand value of TH-cam.
i had an average schooling - standard x (61%) , Higher secondary from a state board in a lousy school (49%) , BCOM pass ( from a lousy college ) , did small jobs ..cut to 18 years later .. i head a paint business of a mnc in a country overseas , own 4 apartments loan free , kids go to decent schools - elder one is a budding lawyer , younger one artist ... education , degrees mate is overhyped ..what you do with it is more important ...i built on my life on soft skills -
Please stop getting people who speak good English but add no value. Everything is evolving; I would love to hear unfiltered thoughts rather than speaking to beat egos. Sorry, but the conversation is not going forward somehow.
Personal Opinion.
Sir please invite kunal shah as a guest.
Education - jobs -corporation- taxes...
Political funds...then capitalism....
That's how the system works.....
Crony capitalist are playing with industrial mind set indian people
None of them talk with data and stats. So dangerous
Screwvala talks about building layers in education as if one cannot achieve that through the internet and books as a resource. Formal education is simply a certificate of completion to prove to an employer. It does not necessarily prove a "layer" of knowledge.
Pratham Mittal of Masters Union should have been here.
Ronnie was just being mean .... specially 8:34
Waldorf schools seems to be best now
Only Kamath was focused on topic. Here focus was Education system but others (most people) seems to be obsessed with (fake, & useless) IITs, IIMs, AIIMS, etc. US, Japan, France, Germany, even Holland etc are successful without these IITs, etc or such hype & tutorial mafia.
Upgrad founder talking about his business side of model, Unacademy founder narrowly defining things, seeing only competitive exams.
Human mind gets stucked lol...
Please invite nikhil agrawal
nothing makes sense anymore !
In real true capitalist world prices of food education n medicine n basic human needs must come down ....
Otherwise what the need of expensive politics triggered capitalist adani n ambani...
Gujarati territory is making every Indian a fool😂😂😂
Education helps u to learn read and reproduce / write , some smattering of logic and maths etc it takes 12 yrs world over due to human brain characteristics !! Rest is superskill structures which should be introduced as civic courses for 12 yrs !! Utube is good rersource ! But the essential learning is about ones own brain characteristics which becomes otherwise life long occupation! So must have atleast 4 courses on ADD,adhd,OCD , autism , schizophrenia, Govbels’strategy of repeating falsehood and effects , addictive brain types etc
Nothing is changing in the education system and all this talk is just useless. Even today companies look at percentages in your class 10, degree etc. if they meet their criteria. Even today an average guy struggles if his college cannot get placements which happens in 90% of colleges in India. I just don't get what these people are trying to say what is the outcome other than blabbering wasting time.
Ooohhh Nikhil .... how can someone have such great palms and fingers ... so hot it’s distracting 😊
But he’s just an awesome moderator...pulls back the discussion on track even if discussion gets diverted... great host
Yaha alag hi story chal raha hai

Upgrad Upgrad Upgrad!!!!
Please call Aditya ghosh . Phenomenal leader and visionary.
I will rather agree with Mr Ronnie
Gaurav was correct here.
Plz sir, make a video on most valuable soft skills to learn in 2023 to become a millionaire 💰
Not everyone likes uncertainty... And TH-cam is uncertainty
I thought Sarman Joshi is also in this video
There's only gaurav who tells basic reality of an ordinary student life in India and as per this video other two only trying to pretend their so called reality. 🙂
Please sir Mr Kamath never invite people like Unacademy CEO … .. It’s not disrupting but it’s disgusting…
Who is that guy for every point he’s promoting upgrad 😅
education in india = business
kaun hai yeh log
Galli cricketers 😂
Kotak riding on papa's money and nothing else
Hindi me baat kriye log na sir
Invite me 😅
Unacademy , ceo principles are completely wrong and are manipulated …. The information provided by unacademy is by professionals and its there knowledge and skills . Unacademy is just a platform which earns money giving commissions to the contributors .. it created a system which will make money for the owners of the companies . Same as Byzus … this are just money making loop holes .. A person who is learning will always be learning from books , videos , many other informations etc .. you can’t hold or command a copyright right for them to make content…
