In closing, Debarathi urges organizations, leaders, and hiring managers to reconsider their talent acquisition paradigms. Instead of a focus on "ready" talent, the emphasis should be on potential, attitude, and the willingness to nurture growth over time. She advocates for expanding hiring horizons, investing in personalized development, and fostering a culture where everyone, regardless of background, has an opportunity to succeed.
