Nation First: From Education to Opportunity | Prof. Samit Ray | The Perspective Shift

Education is only the starting line; a foundation truly comes alive when it transforms into real-world opportunity, global employability, and meaningful social impact. In this episode of The Perspective Shift (The Rayvolution series), we sit down with Prof. Samit Ray to explore how his "Nation First" philosophy expands beyond the classroom into building world-class career ecosystems directly on Indian soil.
