If you ask Nandan Nilekani, the key to being successful in today's ever-changing job landscape is simpler than you think.
As tech and AI changes workflows, and anxiety around the future of work looms, Nilekani says people should focus on building the soft skills that artificial intelligence can't replicate.of "The Path" newsletter. "I get up every morning wanting to learn new things, and I keep my mind open." Nilekani chose engineering, but went to a college his father didn't approve of, and chose electrical over chemical engineering, again, to his father's dismay. He graduated from IIT Bombay in 1978 and became obsessed with a new technology, mini computers, shortly after.
Nilekani credits most of his success to his hunger for information and the excitement that learning new things brought him, insisting that curiosity made him successful, not a love for business.
