We’ve been taught that success comes with a degree. But the truth is degrees alone don’t prepare us for the world we step into. As a student, I felt the silent gap between classrooms and reality, between what we learn and what we need. Instead of waiting, I built MXC Ignite LLP: a community where students and industry connect, where hackathons, projects, and storytelling become classrooms of their own. Along the way, I discovered a deeper truth: students don’t lack talent, they lack platforms that believe in them. This talk isn’t about discarding education it’s about reimagining it. The future of learning lies beyond degrees, in courage, community, and the stories we dare to live.
