True, qualification nahi, skills and experience are more important. We need to get out of degree holder mindset. https://t.co/LfH5DpJPuL

Very well Put 💙we are entering an age where speed, flexibility, innovation and execution matter much more than decades-old qualifications or antiquated experiences dressing up a lengthy resume. https://t.co/9YhcS3hBqG

@vaibhavdasalkar My personal opinion: True entrepreneurs seldom bother about qualifications handed out by means of pieces of printed paper. Those with such paper qualifications work for the entrepreneurs. Our obsession with such qualifications has done us far more harm than good.

Only quality matters is your hunger for learning and giving your 100%
Sir, you are an institution yourself and anyone just be with you for an hour will count as a graduation for him.
