Indian Founders With Social Science Degrees - Social Advantage Series

I'm done. What if we stopped treating social sciences as the degree you do before you figure out what you actually want to do? 🤷🏻♀️ We know the usual startup story. Engineer → builds product → raises funding → builds company. 🏢 Computer scientist → develops technology → starts up → scales. 💹 And somewhere along the way, the social sciences got associated with a very different career map: 🗺️ Academia. 📚 Research. 📝 NGOs. 👥 Civil services. 👮🏻♀️ Nothing wrong with any of those. But it's a strangely narrow imagination of what someone who studies society can actually do. Because what do social sciences teach you? 🤔 - How people behave. - Why communities form. - How cultures change. - How institutions work. - How incentives shape decisions. - Why do people trust some things and reject others. - How power operates. - How markets interact with society. These aren't exactly useless skills when you're trying to build something people will actually use, and pay for. 🤑 So, at The Social Thinkers Co. we're starting a new series exploring the people who studied society, culture and human behaviour and then went out and built businesses. 😎👩🏻🎓 Because perhaps we've been celebrating only one kind of intelligence for far too long. 🫠 You don't have to stop being a social scientist to become a builder. ✍🏻🤝👷🏻♀️ Sometimes, understanding people is the competitive advantage. Coming soon: The Social Advantage‼️ And if you know an Indian founder, entrepreneur or business leader whose journey began in sociology, psychology, political science, economics, anthropology, history, philosophy, literature or another humanities/social-science discipline, I want to hear about them. 👩🏻💻💬 #TheSocialThinkersCo #TSTCO #SocialSciences #Business #Research #CEO #Founder #Entrepreneurship #Social #Advantage
