Bengaluru)
Let Your
Business be Your Passion
 Four days into the fortnight and it reflected in the
enhanced comfort levels. Though still there was plenty to
be explored. Prof AKN took the lead on this and spoke at
length about the city - Bengaluru. Its places, culture and
uniqueness and the opportunities it offers.
Under the section
Hello We they learnt about the Management Development
Centre, Library and the various data bases and facilities
they can avail at the Library and IT Lab.
Management
Development Centre at Welingkar caters to this need of
customized management education for the corporate world.
The curriculum is upgraded year after year and, with best
of faculties and infrastructural support, the participants
come out more confident, more proactive and so more useful
to their organizations. As of the Library , Welingkar has
one of the finest Library infrastructure facility known as
the Learning Resource Centre (LRC).
Centre stage gave the
students an interesting opportunity to interact with
George M George, Director; Muthoot Leisure and
Hospitality. Mr. George charmed his way into the hearts of
young audience with his interactive and humorous address.
He detested the practice of building businesses and then
selling it away. Business should be a passion. He made an
interesting point of how one should initiate an idea and
then ensure that a targeted segment or public get
motivated to accept and own the idea. This will ensure
good business and enable one to achieve their objectives.
He also asked them to invest time in themselves and
nurture a burning desire to achieve their set-goals. He
drew a distinction between desire and want and exhorted
them to nurture a desire rather than pandering to their
wants.
 Under conversations,
the discussion hinged on learning process. The Panel
included Ms.Rajeshwari Ramachandran, Sr. Manager- Wipro,
Mr.Kiran Patil - HR Head-Arvind Lifestyle Brands Ltd and
Prof. Anuradha Mahesh, Faculty , Welingkar.
Patil advised the
students to take their studies and their projects
seriously. Rajeshwari stressed on learning-agility as she
believed it to be a continuous process. As the students go
about their training it should be their endeavor to put
themselves through relevant experiences. Also they said
that one should proactively support their organization and
should work on their social skills and ability to build
relationships. We should have our own perspective on
issues; and this comes with keen observation, thinking and
an analytical mind. Talking in context of career moves one
should be mobile. Branding was another concept which the
panelists felt was equally important in modern times.
Dr Uday Salunkhe,
Group Director had also expressed similar views in the
concept of SOS wherein he urged the young talent to focus
and work upon Self , followed by Organization and finally
reaching out to the Society as they progresses in life.
Next, during, Hands
on the students split into teams playing wordsmith. They
were given a few words, around which they had to weave a
story. More words were announced when a team was just
about to complete the story. The students were now
required accommodate the new words. This was a interesting
to watch and of course to be a part of. In this play of
creativity, the students were led by the faculty- Dr.
Savitha, Prof. Jyoti and Prof. Deepak. It was an hour
packed with fun. |
