How students can future-proof their careers by building human skills

When I began my undergraduate studies in 2004, there was just a single section of Computer Science. My major, Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, was one among many. Fast forward to 2025, the same institution has 20 thriving sections of Computer Science Engineering, and my own major was gone. This shift is not just a story about curriculum change. It reflects an educational and industrial revolution in the past 20 years.


Between 2008 and 2025, India’s IT sector experienced explosive growth. The IT and BPM industry surged from about $60 billion to over $250 billion, employing millions and positioning India as the back-office, code factory, and innovation hub of the world. But now comes a new challenge to the foundation of this success story.
