Diversity split is still sad though, less than 10% female founders
Non-IITians who? Oh, BITSians lmao.
Pedigree will always be a determinant of success because it's mostly proportional to effort. You only get lucky so many times in life.
Luck literally determines where you are born and how likely you are to actually reach IIT IIM over time
Parents being educated themselves is a huge factor in the education of kids and access to opportunities.
If pedigree is such an important factor in success, why are placements not happening for IIT IIM grads last few years? Surely there are enough jobs in the market for those who are most likely to succeed by your logic? 😂
100% concede to the privilege argument. That's not really my point either. That's also not a problem you solve by funding non-IITian startups? Most of your non-IITian founders are still engineers.
My point is folks who think they don't get funding/or some cushy job because they haven't gone to an IIT/IIM always discount how difficult it is to get into a place like that in the first place. Too many examples of privileged people victimizing themselves for the opportunities they don't work for.
Diversity is such BS. Robbing opportunities from deserved candidates
No one's robbing anyone of anything, please
You might like working in offices that are sausage fests, not everyone does.
Please refrain from using sexist terminology like "sausage fest".
And I believe in merit based hiring. If a deserving candidate is not allowed to interview just because he is male, I find that to be injustice.
Cope
no body bats a eyelid for starts ups that are yet to be profitable even after 10 yrs of operations. ironically these companies' are still called start ups. even after a decade. T

The budgets have been cut for diversity hiring. This is also in response to a lawsuit from conservative groups. Is it happening in IDCs too? Link to NY Post Article: https://nypost.com/2023/12/28/tech/google-meta-other-tech-giants-slash-...
Diversity hiring (bank -mnc) has gotten to a point where I am only dealing with female stakeholders now as opposed to 10 years ago where I was dealing only with male stakeholders. What a fantastic change it has been! (Not sarcasm)
