He didn’t talk about salaries or job security. Instead, he said: “Your target should not be a job earning two or three lakhs. Your target should be to contribute to building a developed India by 2047.” That’s not just motivational fluff. It’s a quiet revolution in how we think about careers; especially in tech and engineering. Right now, India has 440 space startups. We built our own cryogenic engines after the world said ‘no’. We landed on the Moon’s south pole; first ever. And we’re aiming for a crewed lunar landing by 2040. This isn’t about rockets. It’s about mindset. If you’re studying engineering, computer science, or even physics; the future isn’t waiting for you to chase a job. The future is waiting for you to build it. Narayanan’s message? Don’t just aim to get hired. Aim to lead. Aim to innovate. Aim to solve problems the world hasn’t even figured out yet. Because when you focus on impact; not income; the rest follows. And India’s next chapter? It’s being written by people who refuse to settle. The question isn’t whether you can land the job. It’s whether you’ll help land the rocket.
