This TED Talk by Anirudh Krishna focuses on the concept of "talent ladders" as a solution to global inequality of opportunity. Krishna argues that while talent is ubiquitous, opportunity is not, illustrating this with anecdotes from his research in India and Jamaica. He outlines seven principles for building effective talent ladders, including open access, unbroken progression, role models, and soft landings for those who don't reach the top. The talk concludes by suggesting practical steps for implementing talent ladders, emphasizing the need for long-term commitment and collaboration among stakeholders.
