I spent yesterday at Sastra University, Thanjavur, the event being AIESEC Youth To Business Forum. Here are some of my observations:
* The students are amazingly confident, much more than what we ever were during our days.
* The event was entirely conceived, planned and conducted by the students and done quite well too.
* A number of them consider entrepreneurship as a serious career option, which is probably not all that surprising.
* Several of them have very interesting business ideas, and if implemented may become quite successful.
* However, most of the ideas revolved around Internet and e-commerce. Some on marketing and retail.
* I couldn't find anything related to core engineering.
* I found that girls were not as enthusiastic as boys when it came to talking about start up ideas, though they were easily 50% of the entire group. Start-up space is almost fully all male, it appears.
It looked very positive, in all. I do expect some of these students to go on to build very exciting enterprises.
