According to the HRD ministry, around 1.5 million engineers are released into the job market every year; among whom only around three percent are adequately qualified to be employed in the software or product industry. Despite the immense gap between being academia-prepared and industry-ready,, most parents and students restrict their career-radar into the aforementioned fields, thus missing out on multifarious lucrative career opportunities.
A super-niche consultancy based out of Bangalore - Talent2Success (T2S) is on a mission to bridge this long-ventilated gap between industry and academia through hi-technology and by inspiring students in recognizing their passions from school-level and educating them and their parents on varied career opportunities. More like Rancho, Farhan’s best-buddy in 3 Idiots, carved a profession from his passion. Starting at the school-level, T2S makes students interact with successful professionals (from an IPS officer to a Data Scientist) giving students a first-hand account of opportunities and dynamic challenges within respective professions. Using technology and face-to-face sessions, T2S enables comprehensive competency analytics and advisory services to both corporate and academia under one roof.
Inspiring Students to Widen their Horizon
The global technology space today is run by college-dropouts Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg. It is therefore ironical that colleges persist in their ‘just academic’ approach and fail to envisage horizons beyond MNC-cubicles. In effect, students’ learning curve is restricted to textbooks and and not -‘Why am I learning this particular topic and what should I learn to fit into the industry?’ This is where Talent 2 Success acts as an elixir, staying strong on its mission to provide students with seamless access to vocational knowledge in the way they need it to be. Further with their top-up programs, students are encoured to turn their talent into success, thus making them industry-ready. In brief, T2S is an aggregator of knowledge, curating high-quality customized content in an extremely crisp and understandable manner to extent where even seemingly
below average students comprehend the subject. For instance, if it’s about learning trigonometry, T2S brings in a successful trigonometry practitioner, thus imparting first-hand practical knowledge.

One among the many who have met with this superlative level of customer-centricity was a reputed hospital in a Tier-3 city in India, as they deployed an effective L&D framework in their organization. The challenge however was quite problematic. While having a workforce with limited language expertise in English, the hospital management leveraged T2S’ subject matter experts to frame content only in English. At a time when L&D is computer-based pedagogy, T2S went one level further and started with English language classes, which made a considerably positive difference in the end result.
A Great Mission
“Our mantra is empowering rural India through the latest technologies,” says Plakkat who is proud of T2S’100 percent year-on-year growth so far but understands that challenges are the predominant teacher.

Even a fraction of T2S’ success has to be celebrated, as it has broadening horizons for students in our country, with many more to come
