The World Has Changed. It’s Time Education Did Too. For years now, the script for Indian students has been simple:
Study hard → Score well → Crack an entrance
exam → Get into a good college → Get a job → Life set.
This is the story we've all heard growing
up. And for a long time, it worked. But let’s ask the tough question—does it
still make sense today?
Let’s pause and zoom out.
From as early as Class 6 or 7, students get
pulled into a race. A race to prepare for boards. A race to crack JEE, NEET,
CET, CUET, or other competitive exams. Thousands of hours go into tuition, test
prep, mock exams—all focused on a single outcome: an exam that gives you entry
into a college.
But here’s what most don’t talk about.
- Less than 2% of JEE aspirants get into the IITs.
- NEET? Roughly 7% qualify for government medical seats.
- And even after getting in, many realize—what they’re studying isn’t
what they’re passionate about.
We’ve created a system where students are
trained to follow instructions, not solve problems. To memorize, not
imagine. To compete, not create.
And while all this is happening, the world
around us is changing faster than ever.
What's Actually Happening
in the World?
While students are chasing marks, here’s
what’s being built around them:
- AI is transforming how stock markets are analyzed and trades are executed.
- AI is designing fashion, writing scripts, and helping doctors diagnose diseases.
- Self-driving cars are already on roads in California.
- Drones are being used to plant trees, deliver medicines, and inspect infrastructure.
- Remote surgeries using robotics are now real.
- Smart homes, wearables, and IoT devices are quietly revolutionizing everyday life.
- 3D printing is building prosthetics, homes—and even human organs.
- Genetic editing (CRISPR) is on the rise.
- Space tech startups in India are preparing for private missions to the moon and beyond.
- Virtual reality is now a canvas for immersive storytelling.
- AI tools are helping solo founders build MVPs in weeks.
- Cybersecurity is becoming as important as criminal law.
- Space law and bioethics are growing areas.
These are not science fiction dreams. These
are jobs and opportunities opening up in the next 5 to 10 years. Careers
that don’t even exist in their full form yet. Careers that need creators,
makers, engineers, designers, coders, thinkers—not just exam-toppers.
So What’s the Problem?
Students spend their entire school life
preparing for “what’s next.” But when “next” arrives, they feel lost. Why?
Because most of the system is still
preparing them for a world of stability and predictability.
But the real world today needs:
- People who can think for themselves
- Who can build something from scratch
- Who can learn on the go
- Who can collaborate and lead
- Who are not afraid to fail, fix, and try again
Sadly, very few young minds are getting
trained in this way. They graduate with degrees—but not with direction. They
know definitions—but not how to design solutions.
What We Need Now
We don’t need students to be perfect.
We need them to be curious, courageous, and committed to creating.
We don’t need them to wait until they’re
“older.”
We need them to start now.
That’s exactly why we built 10xTechClub and
our Premier Accelerator Program (PAP).
It’s not about replacing school.
It’s about reigniting learning.
It’s where students explore real
technologies—AI, robotics, electronics, 3D printing, drones, space tech, AR/VR,
IoT—by actually building projects. Where they collaborate, pitch ideas, talk to
professionals, and solve real-world problems.
And the best part? It’s not reserved for the
future. They do this right now—while they’re in school.
What We’ve Seen at
10xTechClub
We’ve had 13-year-olds design amazing
Learning kits.
14-year-olds creating AI chatbots and fitness apps.
Students presenting to real startup founders and industry experts.
Some even launching early-stage businesses.
They’re not just dreaming anymore.
They’re doing.
All this is possible—not because they’re
following the “old” story. But because they’ve decided to write their own.
The Takeaway for Parents
Dear parent, I understand your concern. You
want your child to be “secure.” But the definition of security is shifting.
The safest path now is not the one with the
most marks.
It’s the one with the most adaptability, creativity, and clarity of
thinking.
We’re here to guide them toward that
path—with all our heart, all our experience, and a vision that’s built for
what’s coming next.
Because the future is not waiting. And
neither should our children.
Let’s help them lead—not just follow.
