Skills vs Degrees ka Sach! What is more important?

Описание: I had the privilege of hosting Ishan, a 23-year-old powerhouse who's redefining success in the digital age, on Stories Matter.

Why should you care?

Because Ishan's journey challenges everything we've been taught about career success:
• Dropped out of BITS Goa
• Built a 1.8M+ following
• Co-founded a successful marketing agency
• Works with tech giants
• Published two bestsellers
• Teaches at premier institutions

Key insights from our conversation:
1. Why traditional degrees aren't enough anymore
2. Skills that actually matter in 2025
3. How to balance academics with practical learning
4. What companies like Google & Amazon really look for?
5. Managing parental expectations while pursuing your dreams

If you're a student, parent, or educator, this conversation will change how you think about careers and success.
