views are my own
I see an interesting trends in any news reports on the Indian elite talking about their financial goals and what they are saving for
For top level executives (the CXOs) and fund managers a big part of their targeted financial corpus is towards the 'foreign' education of their children.
Pick up almost any of these reports or videos and you will see that pattern!
The somewhat strange part of this equation is that in their day job all of them are pushing 'the India growth story' telling people how India is the greatest economy and/or market to be in and yet their bet is that not just now, but even 10 or 15 years hence there will be no world class institutes or universities in India!
In economics there is a theory of revealed preference which means that consumers show you through the behavior and choices they make as to what they really value.
Always go by what people do and not what they say - especially not what they say YOU should do 😉
What are your thoughts and views on this?
Just for context, when we were growing up hardly anyone even thought of going overseas for an undergraduate degree (except maybe children of top industrialists). From the people who grew up with me, some may have gone to do a master's degree after a B tech or gone for a post doctoral -that is all I can think of in terms of an overseas education.
@MKLakshman@KRPrasadIISc Ethics!!!!! who cares about the silly ethics Sir ji . An academician from a college said she published 5 review articles within a span of a few months using ChatGPT. Faculties are doing this, what can we expect from students

Coming to @scrippsresearch Chemical Synthesis class in Winter ’25.
@deepigoyal Thanks
Hereafter I won't buy any of such perishables online
Wonderful lesson
Thanks to the whistle blowers
Quality definitely lies in the eyes of the Beholder
But such a thing cannot be compromised
@RSocPublishing Open science RSC papers are more "Formatting oriented"
Keen on formatting
Sorry I had a bitter experience with one of my recent submissions . Doing science ain't fun anymore
