boom time
India’s Generation Y (those born after 1979) is now entering the work force. With 54% of India’s population under 24 years, their number in the work force is, by any count, sizeable. But handling them will not be easy. They are a completely different breed. Conventions, and the usual management principles just do not apply here. They are an impatient, impulsive, confident — at times overconfident — lot who have mostly got things on a platter.
Already, in IT & ITES, around 83% of the workers are below 30 years of age. In old economy sectors like FMCG and durables, they comprise 50% of the workforce, as against 30% 8-10 years ago. How corporate India handles and channelises them will determine their future.
They're talking about me.
Read the entire article here. An interesting look at the changing face of corporate India with the infusion of fresh blood....
Read the article, n it seems to pretty much pinpoint what we are about. Tho i left a comment for the editor that it would be great to have a similar article about the corporate bosses who are looking out for us, telling us how to deal with them and the 'old generation'. The idea is we need to align our ideas and goals together. Sorta like expectation settings between a trainee and company in AIESEC.
