The burgeoning Indian economy has its own set of backbones like IT Services, ITeS, retail, hospitality, travel, and financial services but definitely threatens these strengths what we term nowadays as, Soft Skill Crisis in India.

Studies by Stanford Research Institute and the Carnegie Mellon Foundation among Fortune 500 CEOs found that 75% of long term job success depended on people skills and only 25% on technical skills. If this were to be true then the Indian talent pool shall suffer a setback in terms of climbing up the heirarchy in any international organization.
Noted academic Prof. Henry Mintzberg while speaking on the importance of soft skills for MBAs, refers to the crucial “soft” skills - leadership, teamwork, communication, and the ability to think outside the box of a discipline - that separate the best from the rest in the management world. A simple glance at this text is enough to realize that if Indians but in fact lack in these qualities, then it is quite a serious threat to all the contemporary achievements in technical fields.
