India’s demographic dividend is now a disaster?
India has consistently failed to invest in human capital – education and healthcare – and that has ensured that the quality of our workforce is sub-standard and ill-suited to the demands of the industry. India should now invest heavily in the social sector to reap the rewards 20 years later. This, after all, is what the East Asian Tiger economies did in the 1970s.

IIM, Ahmedabad (2018-20)
Knappily's GDPI program is the reason why I am currently in IIM A, not only that, I was able to convert all my calls, the best part about this GDPI module is it is customised and Mr. Yashaswi sits with you and tells you what works and what does not work for you.
-
IIM, Bangalore (2018-20)
I heard a lot about Knappily's GDPI program last year and subscribed to it as some of my other friends also were talking about it. The sessions not only helped me then, but they are useful even now while am in B School, I can easily say it has a lasting impact.

IIM, Bangalore (2018-20)
The sessions by Yashaswi right from how to write WAT, to Economic Survey, to Budget Analysis were so helpful that my entire interview was centred around economics and I was able to finally convert my call. I owe Knappily's GDPI program for all my call converts.

IIM, Bangalore (2018-20)
A finance aspirant and with some background in finance, I wanted someone to help me channelize my preparation so that I could convince the panel about my candidature and showcase my interest in finance and hence MBA, and Knappily played a very big role in that. Yashaswi was in touch throughout with me.
