India's top business magazine @Outlookindia asked me to do a live interview on whether students should study abroad. Was hesitant because U.S. universities depend on foreign student income, but have realized it is time for them to change—and for students to get the best advice.
Tomorrow morning 7:00 AM PDT, 7:30 PM IST, will discuss why going abroad doesn’t make as much sense for Indian students and why they have to reflect on the reason they may spending the fortunes.
This will be live on @Outlookindia's @youtube and FB channels

Used to be foreign students came to US to learn and gain work experience...and ended up staying. But the doors are closed now. This was a big win for U.S. and gave it a global competitive advantage...the closest thing to a free lunch. Some went back and enriched their countries
Sadly U.S. xenophobia will only increase with worsening economy whether Trump or Biden. People always blame foreigners for loss of jobs and it takes time for them to realize the value immigrants bring. America has already forfeited its huge competitive advantage

If foreign students can get into a top school such as @Harvard, @Stanford, or @CarnegieMellon, cost might be worthwhile. Vast majority of second and third tier U.S. colleges are no better than top Indian colleges. I am not sure if I would spend the money, especially now ...
...when vast amount of knowledge and learning is available for free on the web and entrepreneural opportunities for graduating students are actually better in India. The country has a billion problems to solve and key technologies are prevalent and advancing exponentially.
Will Discuss this and lot more with @Ramananda @Outlookindia @IROutlook including offer I made to @amitabhk87 and AICTE @adsahasrabudhe to donate my entire @CMUEngineering cirricula to India. Most advanced exponential tech classes in the world;could give it a global edu advantage
...and as far as U.S. universities and their business models go, it is time for them to provide affordable education to American students. They can't continue to depend on Chinese and Indians to fill up classes and boost their income. Much needed evolution; no more free lunch!
