Economic Times Power of Ideas has announced their first shortlist of applicants.
This first shortlist consists of 1000 applicants. Manu has done some quick analysis of the results. A few key highlights:
- Maximum number of applicants from Bangalore (202), with Mumbai (138) and Delhi (115) a close 2nd and 3rd respectively
- In terms of age distribution, 357 applicants are in their 30’s, followed by those in 20’s (315)
- Only 126 applicants 25 years or younger made the cut
You can view the rest of his analysis on his blog.
The one thing that I didnt like about the shortlist is that it publicly exposes the birthdates of applicants — this kind of data is supposed to be kept private.
Hi there,
Very Well done Manu..!!
Just finished going through your blog and the analysis report. I am one of the selected in the 1000 list and was thinking of sitting and analysing the same. Good that you did it my dear. Saved so much of time and i think you did it much better than i could have.
Cheers..!!
