🚨 IITians Crack Exams, Americans Crack the World. Why? India has the smartest minds — yet the US builds Google, Facebook, Tesla, Airbnb. Even with IITs, India isn't producing global giants at that scale. Why? Here’s the blunt truth 👇 🇮🇳 IITians = Exam Machines They crush JEE. They top ranks. But the system trains them to obey, not build. Risk? No. Originality? Rare. Startup mindset? Only a few dare. 🇺🇸 US = Ecosystem That Creates Giants A Stanford dropout gets VC money. Failure? Celebrated. Weird ideas? Funded. First customers? Wealthy Americans. > Talent + Capital + Risk Culture = Global Company 💡 In India? Try building a startup at 22 = “Beta job kab karega?” Fail once = “Shaadi kaise hogi?” Investors = “Revenue dikhao pehle.” > Our smartest minds are optimizing for safety, not changing the world. 🔥 The Truth? IITians aren’t less smart. They’re stuck in a system that fears failure and kills bold ideas. Until India celebrates creators over survivors, we’ll keep exporting brains — and importing innovation.
