Young students in India after completing their school education wander into universities to specialize in various disciplines. Majority of these students aren’t able to find right focus even during their graduation period. They start to believe, for example, that this is what is destined for them or they will correct at a later date.

It is very important that these guys should from Day 0 work with industry-researchers as one. Any delay or void of opportunity on industry-academia-peer interaction front can lead to permanent losses. Or we can look at this in following way: A forum that removes this gap and facilitates interaction between students-industry-academia can bolster our country’s growth many times over.
