chunk of engineering graduates but only two percent engineers get highly placed
jobs.”

How to create a balance between the past and the future?
“Explore and recognize your skills, give them a chance and seek the opportunities.
When we talk of the past it’s with lots of respect. The key is to not reject the past,
but create it again, innovate and view in the contemporary context. The
management wisdom of Mahabharata and Ramayana is unparallel.”
Why spotlight on cultures is important?
“In France, we constantly innovate and experiment with our past, our heritage and
cultures. We have industries for books writing to comics to degree courses in video
games, performing art industry, designing industry, music-visual art industry, book
industry, designing. Everyone knows about the success of Marble comics. In
France, only eighty to ninety thousands engineers are made and all of them get
jobs.”
