“The sale of India’s story, but with the exception of Harvard”: Devina Mehra describes the elite educational hypocrisy

Devina Mehra, founder and CMD at First Global, launched a sharp criticism of the voices of major companies in India, accusing them of flagrant contradiction: enhancing the narration of India’s growth during private investment in foreign education for their children.

Mehra wrote on X.

She did not back down from her indictment: “Somewhat strange part of this equation is that in their daily function, they all pay” the story of India’s growth “, people tell how India is the greatest economy and/or market in India!”

Mehra crowned her argument with a pointed note: “What people always do and not what they say – especially not what they say you must do.”

In thinking about the follow-up, Mehra added a context of her own generation: “When we grew up, no one thought to go abroad to obtain a university degree-with the exception of perhaps children from the major industrialists.

Her post struck a nerve online, as users echoed her fears.

One of the users commented: “The same ideas when I read that the famous box manager had the goal of saving 10 rupees to teach the child abroad after 15 years – while everyone told how India is the right place.” Another added, “Children who go abroad to learn English in the United Kingdom, while promoting Indian parents and Gauntra virtues in India. It cannot get worse than this.”
