The New Beginning...........

18^th June 2013

LEC 01

Before joining  NITIE I always wondered  how this b-school would  be different from my engineering college. I got my answer on the second day itself!!!

It was communication and negotiation skills lecture when I saw Prof. T Prasad entering the class. I had heard a lot about Prof. T Prasad and his innovative ideas of MANDI and HAMARA DHANDA so I had a lot of expectations from his class.

But his lecture was beyond my expectations. We sat on the floor around him and studied in DESI style as he called it. It was one of the most intellectual and thought provoking classes i have attended so far. He gave a new direction to my style of thinking and gave me a new outlook towards things.

In the class it was a two way communication where we were free to ask and speak. I feel this kind of pedagogy is very effective as it triggers the thought process of the students and makes the class more interesting and fun.

I found the concept of MANDI very interesting. The event would be a platform to experience the market, learn and understand management at its core. The thought of marketing and selling various educational products on the streets of Mumbai is fascinating and challenging in itself.

My key learnings from the lecture were:

Ø  Applying the knowledge  gained to innovate and create new products and technology.

·         Newton’s cradle shown in the class was a classic example of the same

Ø  Giving heart and soul to things we do in life because when career is made passion , success is bound to follow.

Ø  Earning while learning was an idea which instigated the entrepreneur within me.

Well I feel this is just a beginning and I have a lot more to learn from him and his lectures. I am looking forward for the same.

Till then keep reading!!!!!!
