The vast majority of this young population are from the less
developed parts of India where the infrastructure is poor. They are growing up
in areas where the education they are being offered is not on par with what is
available in the more developed parts of the country. While the government is
taking steps to improve this situation, there is still the fear that the
reforms being implemented may not fully take off. However, there is a chance
that in case the reforms fail, this segment might still be able to pull itself
up as a result of digital penetration. But the onus is both on government and
industry bodies to collaborate and build the required infrastructure to groom
this talent pool.
For our industry and to maximize the opportunity in India,
we need to be able to reach consumers across the length and breadth of the
country at the right place, right time, right price. Therefore, a plethora of
skills become relevant, be it across Sciences, for better R&D, Product
Development, Manufacturing, Packaging, or in selling/ marketing and

eco-system where business would prosper. Therefore, the gamut of skills
required in the traditional brick and mortar world would need to also have its
equivalents in e-commerce.

industry is for sustainable job categories and families, ensuring proper
regulations protect the interests of the employees are put in place balancing
it with pragmatic and contemporary labour to do employees
India is poised at the best demographic standing in the

of 25 years. However, is reaping the benefits of this big opportunity proving
to be an even bigger task? Amidst the rising technological advancements across
industries and employers complaining of talent crunch, the situation does not
seem encouraging, suggesting that as a nation we are possibly missing on the
chance to utilize this ‘demographic dividend’ and become a future-ready global
human resource powerhouse.
