The Revolution in Education and Work: Is it for Real?

Thomas L. Friedman, NY Times Columnist and Pulitzer Prize Winner Author, and Ravi Kumar S., President, Infosys, came together to discuss what the post-pandemic world might hold for you. Tom captured the essence of their earlier discussion in an Op-Ed that he published in The New York Times.

This conversation is about taking a hard look at the views the two thinkers share and to see which ones are accelerated, which promise to turn to reality and which ones have fallen by the wayside. In addition, Tom and Ravi shared how the revolution in education is real and waiting to manifest in several ways that promise to move us all forward. For example, the pandemic has primed our readiness to embrace a template for lifelong learning – in the form of reputed education brands in the US offering their patrons a lifelong subscription to learning resources (paid for by the month) and creating a recurring revenue stream for themselves. (Much like Amazon Prime driving a recurring revenue stream for Amazon)
