Most Malayalis have glorious resumes filled with numerous degrees and ranks that would make most envious, but yet when most students step out of the college gates and into the corporate world they stand, like deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming, over speeding semi-truck. Does that seem a bit over dramatic? Not at all. For the average fresher, the corporate world is a big bad world of the proverbial 'dog eat dog'; where 'survival of the fittest' and the Darwinian Theory of Natural Selection - where you either adapt/innovate or risk extinction or in this case, expulsion - come into play and one that they're completely unequipped for.

With an overarching bent towards theoretical education with little or no exposure to practical know-how, this scenario has long been in the making. With 15 million youngsters entering the workforce each year, more than 75 per cent are not job-ready. India will need 700 million skilled workers by 2022 to meet the demands of a growing economy. This glaring imbalance, due to lack of technical and soft skills, points towards the urgent and growing need to make young Indians job-ready, focusing on young graduates to augment their employability.
