Lets set an example – says the budding
hotelier Amarjeet
For, Amarjeet S Kudle, the young and successful training professional from
Delhi who till recently headed the training for the British Foreign and
Commonwealth Office for South Asia region, entrepreneurship is the way to go
for India.
Citing examples of various successes of young Indians, Amarjeet argued that
the middle class of India must rise to take the nation forward. In the middle
class of India lies the great strength to create and maintain wealth that can
surge India forward and get her ahead by miles when compared to the rest of
the world.
The urge to work in the rural areas of India is less among the urban youth of
India, observed Amarjeet and exhorted the importance of working with and
amidst the rural youth to strengthen the vast millions of youth who live in the
villages. He mentioned the case of Sandeep Gajakas who started an
innovative ‘shoe-laundry’ business as an example of how innovative ideas and
the spirit of enterprise can power economic growth.
Citing himself as an example, Amarjeet explained how he has left his
comfortable and high paying job to create his small boutique hotel at the foot
of the Himalayas in Landor, Missouri.
During the panel discussion Amarjeet spoke once again on the need for
educating the urban middle class to venture into the rural areas to help and
assist the youth of India, the majority of whom live in the rural areas.
An achiever in his own right Amarjeet has won the hearts and minds of the
audience and left a deep impression with his striking and charming
personality.
