Indore student fails JEE twice, builds ₹2 lakh freelance career: Ankur Warikoo sparks debate over India's obsession with college tags
In India, a college name can sometimes become a shortcut for judging a person’s worth. IIT, IIM or top corporate brand can open doors before a candidate has even demonstrated what they can do. But what happens to those who never get the coveted label?
Entrepreneur Ankur Warikoo has stirred that uncomfortable question by sharing the story of an Indore-based designer who failed to clear the JEE twice, taught himself product design , and eventually built a successful freelance career . His post has since opened a larger debate over whether India recognises talent for what it is or only when it comes wrapped in the right credentials.
