B V R Mohan Reddy's Advice

Noted entrepreneur, businessman and NASSCOM chairman B V R Mohan Reddy, on the occasion of workshop ‘Education and Employment’ organised by Metro India, said that change has become very quick these days. He advised the students to capture the opportunities from ever changing world because the predictability of change has come down unlike in the past. Citing instances from Industrial Revolution in past centuries, he said that after the ICT revolution across the globe, the industry has been bringing in change every year.

“Though the technology disrupts the way of life it leads to opportunities,” he said, further adding, “Learning was not an event but a continuous process and does not stops with a teacher but teacher is a good way of learning.” Continuing his inspiring speech, he advised the students to learn continuously and by all ways possible observing that government only can provide an ecosystem for growth and learning.

He advised the students to stick to the five points in their journey of success that include challenging the status quo, being persuasive, ability to take risks, working in a team and open mindedness. He expressed his hope that by the year 2022 India would be the place for largest working population of age between 25 to 50 years. He said that if proper employment opportunities are not available for them it would be disaster rather than a dividend.

Stating that the T-Hub initiative by the State government would prove to be the best incubation centre for entrepreneurs and start-ups in the future he said that innovative brains are always in demand. He congratulated the gathering, most of which comprised computer science engineers, that the present era youth were witnessing a remarkable change in every stream of life.

He asked the students to catch the pace of change to be recognised and to be able to sustain in the growth market. Only those who can understand the fast moving world in time can be able to prove their presence otherwise they would be pushed down the ladder of growth, he observed.
