Mint Podcast: Sridhar Vembu Says 'No Zoho Job Needs A College Degree', Prompts Big Question: Is India Ready?

A new tweet by Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu has started an important conversation - he says that smart American students now skip going to college and forward-thinking employers are enabling them. This is going to be a profound cultural shift.He adds that this will enable youngsters to succeed without taking heavy debts to get degrees, and says this trend is set to change culture and politics.Now this may sound weird, or scary, or just not sit completely right, especially considering most of us are raised with a mindset that we must study hard and crack competitive exams to that we can get decent jobs, and hence a decent lifestyle. But in today's job market --- where people switch jobs, fields and careers much faster -- and where so much is changing so soon, are college degrees really essential anymore?Watch#zoho #education #jobs
