India 2030 : A Country of Unemployed OR World's Problem Solving Machine? | Kumar Anshu | TEDxMITAOE

Every year 36M Indian students enroll for higher education but less than 10M get absorbed by the Industries. With a 1.2Bn population, one of the highest producers of Science, Technology, Engineering & Math graduates – we have hardly created High-tech products which can be exported to the world. R&D investments have been mere 0.7% of ($2.8Tn) GDP – while we dream of competing with China (~2.5% of $12Tn GDP) and USA (~3% of $17Tn GDP). India aims to transform from a service-driven economy to a product-driven economy and hit a $5 in GDP milestone in the next 5 years. Increasing high-tech exports and reducing product/technology imports are going to be the backbone of this transformation. This would require the IP driven innovation, product development, and entrepreneurial mindset to reach millions of problem-solving minds. However, the current Innovation & IP ecosystem is very complex, highly fragmented & scarcely accessible. Is there a way we can transform India into World's Innovation Machine? Kumar Anshu is a part time standup comedian along with Founder & Chief Everything Officer (a.k.a. CEO) of Bots 'N Brains, a young startup with an audacious dream of transforming India into top 10 Innovation hubs of the world. He is an alumnus of IIT Bombay & IIM Lucknow and also a certified Six Sigma Black Belt, PMP, ISO 9001 Lead Auditor & Behavioural Trainer. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
