Why India Has Become the Airport Lounge of Ambition 🔥 You arrive here, wait here, but you don't plan to stay. Okay so, Let me begin with a story . Meet Aayush. Born in a small town in UP, topped his boards, cracked JEE, slogged through engineering, only to realize his dream job doesn’t exist here. So he left. Not because he didn’t love India. But because India didn’t love him back. Today, he’s in Berlin, designing automation systems for a German firm that didn't ask him for a caste certificate or 7 years of unpaid internships. This isn’t just about brain drain anymore. It’s ambition drain. Belief drain. Hope drain. And it’s happening in millions of Indian homes. Every year, thousands of young, smart Indians buy one-way tickets not for travel, but for escape. From: A college system that still teaches 1990s C++ for 2025 jobs A hiring culture obsessed with college logos, not actual skills And an economy that glorifies hustle, but rarely rewards it Canada, Germany, Australia these aren’t dreams. They’ve become the default. While India rich in talent, poor in opportunity has become a launchpad. You take off, but never land back. And the irony? We’re still calling them “foreign returns” as if they’ll come back. But they won’t. Because they had to go somewhere their ambition was welcome. Until India builds a system that values skill over surname, and creativity over clearance, we’ll keep raising the world’s brightest, only to gift them to other nations.

You don’t owe anyone your loyalty just because of history. If your relationships drain your energy instead of fueling your ambition, cut the cords. Time is scarce, and surrounding yourself with the right people is non-negotiable for growth.
