IKR Thermoforms Founder: Skills, Not Degrees, Key to Job Market Success
Kaustubh Mehta, a prominent figure in the engineering sector and founder of IKR Thermoforms, has shared his insights on the evolving job market and the importance of skills over degrees. Mehta, who last studied at a university in 2018, believes that real-world skills and leadership qualities are crucial for securing jobs near me.
Mehta advises that students should focus on building skills outside the classroom, as these will matter more than degrees in the future. He warns that many students miss opportunities to gain practical exposure. Mehta encourages young Indians to embrace leadership, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking to thrive in a fast-changing job market.
Mehta's own experiences at university, where he participated in student government and debate club activities, have shaped his perspective. These activities helped him develop leadership, negotiation, and problem-solving abilities, which he believes are essential for career success. Industry leaders and education experts agree that India's education system underestimates the value of practical exposure. A Harvard 10-year study supports Mehta's views, finding that students involved in extracurriculars were three times more likely to hold leadership positions within a decade of graduation.
Mehta argues that college degrees alone do not guarantee career success. Instead, he urges students to dream big and become leaders, not just employees. By focusing on real-world skills and practical exposure, students can secure well-paying jobs and thrive in the fast-changing stock market today.
