Millennials in India numbered at around fifty five million could soon be the longest living single generation in the world. As per Deloitte, by the year 2025, they will comprise three-fourths of the workforce. Along with numbers, come influence and change. Unlike previous generations which valued business leader who only worked on the bottom line, financial results hold the key for only a tenth of the generation. For them, the CEOs of Starbucks and Costco who are far more inclusive and people oriented in their approach, are the ones to emulate. The field of corporate training too has moved on from the traditional classroom focused methods, to the mobile first method involving online sessions through tools such as MOOCs. Training is now about continuous education as a one-time education is not being able to keep up with disruptive technologies and work patterns. Retraining and up-skilling are thus gaining credence.
