Via Dipo Tepede.POeT, I read an interesting
interview with Nitesh Gupta, a 22-year-old Indian entrepreneur. The interview highlights some of the similarities between India and Nigeria.
Nitesh is part of a team that developed one of India's first hybrid vehicles, which uses both gasoline and electricity. He also runs a tricycle business in India.
Quote:
14. Nigeria is similar to India in so many ways; huge population, hot weather condition, etc; can you tell me the best way to reduce unemployment?
The best way to reduce unemployment is by ?Youth Empowerment?.
Nigerian youth has to be motivated and given direction to utilize their own potential and seek opportunities to start their own cottage based or small scale based businesses which can in turn generate employment for many others.
Even if, we can convert 10% of unemployed people to self entrepreneurs this can lead to a chain reaction which will ultimately lead to path of prosperity for all.

Hopefully, Nitesh is an inspiration to many other budding entrepreneurs.
