“99 % of Indian engineers only give Jian …”: Bhatia’s Saber about the reason for the inability of India to build like China

SABEER BATIA, co -founder of Hotmail, questioned the education of India and the culture of work in India, pointing to the lack of practical skills and critical thinking. In Podcast, he said that most of the engineering graduates end up in administrative roles instead of building real products – collecting concerns about the country’s ability to enhance real innovation.

“99 % of the Indians who graduate as engineers join the administration and start giving Gyaan to everyone. Where are the work ethics, where they really work with their hands and go and build some things?” He asked.

He pointed to the paradox of India’s sanctification of business figures that enhance the use of external sources instead of creating original software. “Here, people appreciate anyone working with their hands … However, he is a software teacher in India, as he is the commercial teacher to deal with it, as you know, who shops in the body – not software.”

Bhatia said that India should fix its position on technical skills. “Until we change the ethics of our work and already start working with our hands and start respecting people who write programs, who write code, or who do things, or who think about these problems in a critical way … we have to change the education system.”

He directed a contradiction with China, where he said that education was more comprehensive. “China educates everyone. It is like subsidized education and supported cars.” He added in India: “Education today is Rich Franching.

While the extensive material infrastructure may be unrealistic, it is believed that digital tools can help. “We can teach critical thinking through an application, through technology … allow me to help solve a problem. Let me help each other solve your problem. Solve the problems of another person. Happiness comes in solving the problems of others.”

Bhatia said earlier: “Stanford knows what is happening now, most of the IIT academies are stuck in the past,” adding that “free knowledge from the Internet is the real teacher.” “I entered Apple in my grades, but I built Hotmail by learning in the job. Innovation comes from doing it, not just the study.”

His remarks resonated a similar warning last year by the G20 Sherpa AMitabh Kant in India, who called for the reform of the curricula in IITS.
