In this eye-opening interview "YOU are Unemployable: Fixing India's Unskilled Youth", we speak with Puneet Dang, the founder of Edzer, about why India is facing an unemployability crisis. Puneet shares his journey from a student to a teacher and now a founder, and how Edzer is helping students upskill and secure jobs after graduation. We discuss the lack of practical skills being taught in schools and colleges, and how Edzer is addressing this gap by providing resume assistance and specific skillset training. Puneet also talks about the innovative approach of getting students jobs for a percentage of their salary and the potential for incentivizing teachers and colleges to improve job placements. Don’t miss this insightful conversation on how to make India employable again!
