Driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact, she pursued her dream of becoming a physician, with SGU providing the platform to turn that aspiration into reality.

Born in India, Dr. Varshitha’s passion for medicine was sparked by her upbringing on her family’s poultry farm, surrounded by animals and immersed in nature, she developed a deep interest in biology from a young age. This early exposure to life sciences, coupled with her admiration for her uncle, Dr. Srinivasan Ravindranath, a cardiologist in Dubai, fueled her desire to pursue a career in medicine. Inspired by his dedication to patient care and the positive impact he had on his community, Dr. Varshitha set her sights on becoming a physician to make a similar difference in the lives of others.

Bollywood’s rising star, Triptii Dimri has carved a distinct niche for herself in the industry with her versatility and impactful performances. She recently graced the latest episode of In The Ring with Filmfare, now streaming on Filmfare’s YouTube channel. Hosted by Jitesh Pillai, Editor-in-Chief, Filmfare, this engaging talk show offers fans an exclusive glimpse into the lives and careers of some of the most sought-after talents in the film and OTT industries, all set against the backdrop of a live audience that heightens the immersive experience.

Triptii Dimri, who made her debut with Laila Majnu (2018) has quickly garnered attention through her exceptional performances in Bulbbul, Qala, Animal, Bad Newz, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. With her magnetic on-screen presence and unwavering dedication to her craft, she undoubtedly stands as one of the most promising talents in the industry today. During the interview, she reflected on her transformative journey from rejection to recognition, candidly opened up about her battle with loneliness, and shared insights into her challenges in the industry and personal growth.

Reflecting on her first audition in Bollywood, Triptii fondly reminisced about the experience, sharing “Back in 2017, I auditioned for Laila Majnu but was rejected. A year later, in 2018, I gave it another shot, quite casually this time, during the ongoing auditions for the same role. Honestly, I wasn’t very good then either. However, after attending a week-long workshop with Mukesh Chhabra Sir, I was finally selected to play Laila and went to Kashmir for the shoot. I was so new to the industry back then that I didn’t even know the full forms of terms like DOP or POV. Avinash was a wonderful co-actor who helped me a lot to understand the shoot and made it easy.”

Opening up about her struggle with loneliness, Triptii revealed, “During a rough phase, especially around Covid, I faced loneliness and rejection from auditions but chose not to share my struggles with anyone or seek therapy. Instead, I stayed busy with play sessions and discussions, pushing myself forward.”

Discussing her collaboration with Rajkummar Rao in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, Triptii stated, “When it comes to a comedy film, I learned that there’s often little time to prepare in advance, and improvisation on the spot is key. Working with an actor like Rajkummar Rao, who constantly improvises on set, taught me so much. I particularly learned a lot during the shoot of Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. It was truly wonderful to act alongside him. Looking back, I’m so grateful for the workshops I attended before getting busy with films—they helped shape my craft.”

Spilling the beans about her career-defining film, Animal, Triptii disclosed, “I connect with the character I play, without overthinking whether it’s a feminist film or not. Moving from Qala to Animal was a big shift, but my focus was always on the character. Being part of Animal was a change for me as an actor—it was on a much bigger scale. But I didn’t see any problem with my role; my job was to portray the character with full honesty. Every film gives actors the chance to live so many layers of life through their roles. I approached Animal the same way, performing with sincerity. For me, not taking anything too personally helped me navigate and overcome everything that came with Animal.”

Talking about her dating preferences and what she has learned from her previous relationships, she remarked, “I don’t want to date any actors because it’s such a busy life that it becomes hard to give time to each other. One thing I’ve learned from relationships is that whoever you’re dating becomes a mirror to you—they reflect how you deal with things and navigate challenges together. Everyone has their own baggage and individuality, but for me, understanding is key. I look for someone who respects me and wouldn’t try to put me down. I was in a relationship for five years in the past, and those experiences have shaped what I value now.”

Taking a look back at her career so far, the actor candidly shared insights into her challenges and personal growth, “I’ve made many mistakes in my short career, but I’ve never given them too much importance in my life. If I were to go back and do the same films again, I wouldn’t change a thing. I have no doubts about choosing my career as an actor—it’s a challenging path, but you learn to navigate it. I’ve realized that when I’m busy, I’m truly happy, and I wouldn’t want to change anything about my journey, not even the trolling. In fact, trolling has its own way of making you stronger and more resilient.”

For many young people today, the journey from choosing a career to thriving in one feels more like navigating a maze than following a path. A recent survey by LinkedIn revealed that 72% of Gen Z workers feel unprepared for their future careers, while 45% cite an overwhelming number of options as their biggest challenge.

This generation, growing up in an age of limitless information and constant societal shifts, often finds itself at a crossroads of dreams, doubts, and dead ends. Here’s why, and how we can address this challenge.

A Career Landscape in Flux
Gone are the days when career paths were linear. Today’s industries are evolving at breakneck speed, with technology, digital marketing, and the creator economy leading the charge. Traditional professions like law and medicine coexist with emerging fields such as UX/UI design, sustainability consulting, and data analytics.

While this diversity is exciting, it has also created what researchers call “choice overload.” Gen Z isn’t just choosing between a few established careers; they’re sorting through countless new roles, many of which didn’t exist a decade ago. Adding to the pressure is the glamorized version of success often portrayed on social media—stories of overnight riches and seemingly effortless achievements.

Adapting Education to Bridge the Gap
To equip Gen Z for an unpredictable future, education systems need to evolve, offering more than just rote learning and standardized tests. Here are some key strategies:

1. Promoting Entrepreneurship & Intrapreneurship
Encouraging students to think like entrepreneurs—whether building their own businesses or innovating within organizations—can prepare them for the uncertainties of modern careers. For instance, programs that teach leadership, creative problem-solving, and adaptability can enable students to excel in both independent and corporate environments.

2. Embracing Hands-on Learning
Practical, real-world exposure is critical. Experiential programs that allow students to explore different roles—such as internships in marketing, sales, and operations—can help them discover their strengths early on. Vocational training should no longer be an afterthought but an integral part of education.

3. Leveraging Technology
With attention spans shorter than ever, tech-driven learning methods can make a significant impact. Interactive modules, gamified lessons, and virtual internships can engage students better than traditional lectures while providing relevant skills for today’s tech-savvy workplaces.

Social Media: A Double-Edged Sword
Social media is a powerful influence on Gen Z’s career aspirations, offering exposure to diverse opportunities. Platforms like LinkedIn connect users with mentors, while TikTok and Instagram showcase creative professions and entrepreneurial journeys.

However, the downside is significant. The constant comparison to peers and influencers often creates unrealistic expectations. Many young people feel inadequate or believe success should come quickly and effortlessly.

To mitigate these effects:
● Encourage critical consumption of content. Understand the difference between authentic success stories and sensationalized ones.
● Promote long-term growth through internships, mentorships, and credible upskilling opportunities.
● Equip students with tools to navigate social media mindfully, focusing on their own pace and goals rather than external pressures.

How Organizations Can Help
While educational institutions lay the groundwork, organizations play a pivotal role in shaping young professionals’ career clarity and confidence. Here’s how:
● Structured Onboarding: Comprehensive orientation programs and self-paced learning platforms can help young employees hit the ground running.
● Mentorship: Pairing employees with experienced mentors fosters personal and professional growth.
● Career Roadmaps: Providing a clear growth trajectory reduces uncertainty and builds motivation.
● Feedback Culture: Regular feedback loops and recognition create a sense of belonging and help employees see their value.

The Way Forward
If we want Gen Z to thrive, we need a multi-pronged approach. Education systems must adapt to provide relevant, practical skills, and organizations should foster a culture of inclusivity, learning, and mentorship.

For Gen Z, finding career clarity isn’t just about eliminating doubts; it’s about learning to navigate an evolving world with resilience, adaptability, and purpose. Together, we can help them turn dreams into realities.

A New Frontier in Drug Discovery: Dr. Indrajeet Sharma Unveils Groundbreaking Research to Combat Cancer and Neurological Disorders

New Delhi, January 6, 2025

A groundbreaking discovery in drug development, spearheaded by Indian-origin American scientist Dr. Indrajeet Sharma, promises to revolutionize the treatment landscape for critical diseases such as cancer and neurological disorders. This major breakthrough was announced today at a press conference held at the Press Club of India, New Delhi, attended by an esteemed panel of experts.

Dr. Sharma’s breakthrough lies in efficiently incorporating nitrogen atoms into drug molecules, a process that enhances their efficacy and reduces toxicity. Nitrogen, a cornerstone element of life, forms the foundation of DNA, RNA, and proteins, and is vital to approximately 80% of FDA-approved drugs. By leveraging this discovery, the cost of producing drugs can be reduced by up to 200 times, significantly lowering the financial burden on patients. This advancement is particularly crucial for developing countries like India, where affordability remains a major barrier to healthcare.

Speaking about the significance of this research, Dr. Sharma emphasized, “Our goal is not just to innovate but to ensure these innovations reach the people who need them most. By transforming existing drug molecules with nitrogen infusion, we can not only improve their potency but also widen their application to other diseases. For instance, a drug for breast cancer could potentially treat brain cancer after modification.”

The press conference also addressed the broader implications of this discovery. Experts highlighted how nitrogen-based processes could revolutionize cancer treatments by reducing the reliance on metal-based compounds, which often lead to toxicity and severe side effects. For diseases like tuberculosis, where high doses of medication are required, this innovation offers the potential to minimize adverse effects while maintaining efficacy.

The panel included leading voices from the scientific and medical community, including Prof. Vikram Saini from AIIMS, New Delhi, Prof. Rupendra Sharma from CTU Prague, Prof. Sanjeev Sharma from CCS University, and Kavindra Talyan, an expert in healthcare policy and innovation. Each panelist underscored the transformative impact of Dr. Sharma’s work on the global healthcare landscape.

Prof. Vikram Saini highlighted the centrality of nitrogen in life processes and modern medicine, stating, “ This research not only improves the efficiency of drug development but also ensures that treatments are safer and more affordable. It is a leap forward in addressing critical diseases like cancer and tuberculosis.”

The discussion also touched on the challenges of making such innovations universally accessible. Kavindra Talyan stressed the importance of public and private sector collaboration to bring these advancements to underprivileged regions, ensuring equitable healthcare access. Drawing from his experience with global healthcare initiatives, he remarked, “Breakthroughs like these remind us of the importance of supporting research that prioritizes public welfare over profit.”

Dr. Sharma’s research, published in the prestigious journal Science, builds on his work with sulfenylnitrenes, a chemical compound that allows for precise nitrogen insertion into drug molecules. Unlike traditional methods that rely on metal-based compounds, his approach is environmentally friendly and reduces production complexity. This aligns with the global push for sustainable practices in pharmaceuticals, addressing not just healthcare needs but also environmental concerns.

India, as a growing hub for pharmaceutical innovation, stands to benefit immensely from this discovery. The country is witnessing a sharp rise in chronic diseases like cancer, and this research offers a glimmer of hope for millions. With its potential to drastically reduce the cost of treatments and improve their safety profiles, Dr. Sharma’s work is poised to transform the healthcare landscape, both in India and worldwide.

The event concluded with a call to action from the panelists, urging governments, research institutions, and industry leaders to support such transformative innovations. “This is more than just a scientific breakthrough—it is a humanitarian effort to make healthcare accessible to all,” Dr. Sharma remarked in his closing statement.
