A Dubai-based CEO has sparked an online debate with her advice to Indian students planning to study abroad. Shreya Pattar, founder of Shreya Pattar Ventures, suggested that students should opt for universities with fewer Indian students to avoid "toxic Indian patterns" such as excessive drama, unprofessionalism, and cliques. She emphasized that a large Indian community does not guarantee a "homely" feeling and may hinder personal growth. Pattar's post has garnered mixed reactions, with some agreeing with her views while others have criticized her for generalizing and stereotyping Indian students. The debate raises questions about cultural identity and the importance of diversity in international education.
