Why do IIT & IIM graduates leave India instead of building it?
Why do lakhs of MBAs exist when real businesses don’t need them?
And has our education system completely failed Indian youth?
In this hard-hitting Telugu Vodcast, host Harish Katkam speaks with Dr. Prasad Teegalapally, a.k.a. “Mandi Sir”, Professor at IIM Mumbai and a seasoned startup mentor, to uncover the brutal, uncomfortable truths about Indian education, MBAs, startups, employment, and mindset.
From shocking realities like 38–40% of IIM graduates being unemployable, to why 90–95% of startups fail, to how education became over-glorified, marriage-driven, and disconnected from real skills - this conversation exposes what no college brochure, ranking list, or coaching center will ever tell you.
The episode dives deep into brain drain, degree obsession, government-job pressure, startup hype vs reality, skill gaps, unemployment, and what education is actually meant to do in a fast-changing world.
🎯 A must-listen for students, parents, MBA aspirants, startup founders, policymakers, and anyone questioning the future of Indian education and careers.
