Meet our newest team member- Sakthi Kumararaja !

Hello, everyone! I’m Sakthi Kumararaja, an associate at Frost & Sullivan. I’m passionate about learning something new every day and my degree in English Literature and Journalism goes hand-in-hand with that. I’m eager to leverage my curiosity and skillset to gain knowledge in a way that would aid Frost & Sullivan Institute’s aim of Accelerating Innovation to Zero. My journalistic tendency to highlight the concerns of the world fits right into Frost & Sullivan’s research on global priorities to identify strategic solutions to challenges. Whether it's conducting thorough research, analyzing data, or crafting precise reports, I strive to do my best. When I’m not working, you can find me exploring books, cities, food, nature, and Netflix.

The digital revolution is transforming industries at a rapid pace, demanding a skilled workforce that can adapt to these advancements. Unfortunately, developing countries often face a significant skills gap, leaving their workforces unprepared and hindering economic growth.

This presents a critical challenge, but also a tremendous opportunity. Developing countries boast young, growing populations that can be the engine of the digital economy. The key lies in equipping students with the necessary digital skills through forward-thinking education.

Here's what educational institutions in developing countries can do to bridge the digital divide:

  • Curriculum Transformation: Integrate real-world digital skills into the curriculum, combining practical experience with theoretical knowledge. This equips graduates with the ability to use current tools and adapt to future innovations.
  • Focus on Digital Literacy: Studies show a vast digital skills gap in developing countries. Basic skills like using the internet for job searching or copying and pasting files are crucial for navigating the digital landscape.
  • Embrace Technology in Education: Utilize technology to create a dynamic learning environment. This empowers students to become comfortable with and proficient in using technology, a key asset in the modern job market
  • Nurture Soft Skills: While technical skills are essential, soft skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication is equally important for success in the digital workforce.

The benefits are undeniable. By prioritizing digital literacy and equipping students with in-demand skills, educational institutions are empowering individuals to thrive in the digital economy and contribute to a nation's future prosperity. This fosters innovation, and adaptability, and prepares students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

The digital revolution presents a turning point for developing countries. By investing in education and preparing their workforce for the digital age, these nations can unlock their full economic potential and become key players in the global digital landscape.
