“Engineers who did not touch a machine”: SABEER BATIA draws the broken India system

In a burning criticism of the culture of fixed education in India, Hotmail Founder warned Bahtia that the country is producing a wired generation to take orders – not to innovate. Speaking of NNP Podcasts, Bhatia said that the education system in India continues to reward the brutality for original thinking, creating a working force that is not equipped for the future.

“We do not know children how to think – we teach them how to follow,” said Bhatia. “The teachers themselves do not know the reason for teaching something. They did not test it, they did not understand it. They became teachers because the system needs obedient workers.”

He said that this mentality may have been logical in the twentieth century, during the industrial revolution, when factories needed compliance and repetition. “But today, machines can do it better than humans. What we need now is to think about the people-the two sanctuaries-who can create an enormous value. This does not only come from work, from practical experience, from the question: Can this be done in a different way?”

He pointed out that India does not use its brightest minds for the right purposes. “How many mechanical engineers have already built something with their hands? How many engineers who touched the production line? Everyone wants to be a manager. But where is the innovation in that?”

Bhatia emphasized that innovation requires experimenting with bases and boldness-linking India. “Every time someone tries something new here, there is a choir of” no “. You tell a child not” ten times, he will not ask the eleventh. But innovation is born from this eleventh question. “

He compared the deep -compatible culture of India with non -apologists. “Look at Donald Trump. To Hell with what the world thinks-he does what he wants. This mentality, good or bad, is what enables ideas outside the box to survive. In India, if one rule is broken, it is treated as a hideous crime.”

Bathia believes that until India learns to appreciate critical thinking about compliance, it will continue to waste its intellectual capital. “We have to stop creating a culture where safety, situation and obedience are everything. The future belongs to those who dare to do things differently.”
