The missing link in career success | Dr. Amar Panchal | TEDxSPIPS Indore
In a world flooded with tutorials, top-10-skill lists, and AI panic, most students are overwhelmed—not under-skilled. In this eye-opening talk, Dr. Amar Panchal challenges the myth that simply learning to code guarantees a successful career. Drawing from his experience mentoring over 23,000 students, he shares how confusion—not lack of opportunity—is the real threat to young professionals today.Through humor, real-life analogies, and a powerful 5-step career clarity framework, he urges learners to move beyond passive consumption of skills toward active exploration, reflection, and application. Whether it’s AI, Python, or Java, the key isn’t what you learn—but why and how. A must-watch for anyone caught between too many options and too little direction. Dr. Amar Panchal is a trailblazer in the field of technology education and career transformation. With over 17 years of industry and academic experience, he co-founded Career Credentials to bridge the gap between technical learning and employability. Through innovative programs, certifications, and placement pathways, he empowers the next generation of IT professionals. Renowned for his holistic approach to programming and pedagogy, Dr. Panchal is committed to building a future-ready talent ecosystem through education, mentorship, and impact-driven leadership.
