An Economic Times interview with the VSI founding team on the emerging tech skill gap and how partnerships change the equation.

ET Interview: Founding Team on the Tech Skill Gap

A candid Economic Times interview on why the tech skill gap is widening — and what a jointly-run bootcamp does that a college course cannot.

Talking points

  • Why the gap is widening despite record engineering graduate output.
  • The hiring-partner-in-the-room-from-day-one model.
  • What the founding team believes doesn't work — and what they're betting on instead.
  • Scale plans: how the collective philanthropy model can grow without diluting quality.
