00:00Now we've seen, if you've been around the last 10 years, you've seen a Congress government,
00:13you've seen a BJP government.
00:15You've seen that India has some issues, but they're mostly the same under both the governments.
00:20It's not like life is going to change that much.
00:23It's not like you're going to keep criticizing BJP or criticizing the Congress and that things
00:28are going to change.
00:29Things will change when you work on yourself.
00:31You know, be honest with yourself.
00:34If next month is whatever, the new election results come and whoever is the Prime Minister,
00:40is it going to really make a difference to your life?
00:43You know, is it going to help you get a better job offer in a month?
00:46Or if you study coding or artificial intelligence, maybe that will get you a better job offer.
00:51You can only add skills to yourself.
00:53Learn things that have demand in society.
00:56Do things that have value in society.
00:58See what is coming up, what is there a need for, and learn that, study that, and go and
01:03offer that.
01:04You know, you can focus on your job, really.
01:07Overall job policy, you know, yes, we need to work on a lot of things.
01:11We need to grow the economy faster.
01:12We need to get more private companies into India.
01:28I just want people to know what is happening in India and not start fighting on social
01:43media all the time about politics, about BJP versus Congress, Modi versus Rahul.
01:48It will not serve any purpose.
01:50I want them to know about India and its issues.
01:59Well, I just heard that the person who started OYO Rooms in India was just 23 years old and
02:05started OYO Rooms, a multi-billion dollar company.
02:08And that's like really young.
02:10At any age to do that is amazing.
02:13To do that at 23 is truly inspiring.
