The world is competitive and education has moved out of the classroom, said Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of financial services company Zerodha.
Delivering the convocation address at the 58th annual convocation of Bangalore University (BU) on Tuesday, he said: “I haven’t done too much traditional education. But education has moved out of the classroom and so much is available online today for one to read and learn.”
“I had unconventional education by virtue of which I chose to educate myself. It was not through books given to me through syllabus or structured education, but when you go down the path of curiosity; curiosity around learning, not just your subject, but being curious about changes around the world, both in technology and academia is important. There is so much out there available for free today. So much that could teach us and so much that will make us better equipped to get a job and to start a career,” the entrepreneur added.
