Startup Founder: India's Information Divide Fuels Poverty
A startup founder named Tej Pandya says that many smart people in India are missing out on chances to succeed.
The main problem isn't that they aren't smart, it's that they don't know about things like scholarships or career paths.
He tells stories about students who didn't know about certain opportunities and missed out.
While there is more information online than ever, the real problem is it's hard to find the useful information.
Wealthier people often know about opportunities because they have networks and mentors who help them.
Pandya suggests people should carefully choose what information they look at online, like training a computer program, to help them get ahead.
Tej Pandya, founder of Groweasy.ai, shared his insights on LinkedIn.
Pandya says India's poor lack information more than talent.
Students often miss opportunities because they aren't aware of them.
Wealthier people benefit from networks and mentorship.
Pandya urges people to curate their online content to accelerate learning.
