The event started at 12:15 and our hosts for the day was Nishaant Sondhi and Srishti Bhasin of UG 3. Our own Monika more from PG faculty gave a mesmerizing start talking about difficulties faced and confusion of undergrads and post-grads, followed by a wonderful presentation given by Dr.Sneha Saxena about art of negotiation , power and conflicts. The presentation was for 15-20 min and the amount of knowledge and experience she shared was undoubtedly commendable. As an undergraduate I dint connect myself to the term ‘negotiation’ but after Dr sneha actually explained, the art of negotiation I understood how important is for us to know as the enterprenuer of tomorrow that in a conflict one has to be nutral in order to think for the benefit of the organization.

Then it was Mr. Amit choudry who highlighted the concept of leadership and connected, it with his experience of climbing mount Everest, this was an eye opener because what we knew about leadership was limited to 4 categories i.e. referent, autocratic, participative and legitimated … but MR. Amit highlighted the importance of team and why is it important to have a supportive and adaptive team rather than a intelligent team… Well this lesson was actually very important because as students we want to form our team with intelligent students forgetting the fact that this would for sure lead to many leaders in one group and be a cause for conflict.

Lastly it was Mr. Munish Bhasin , who talked about being adaptive and 360 degree vision , which was very impressing because we as undergrads are in the process of learning, for us knowing the bookish knowledge is very important, but Mr. Munish highlighted the fact that till you are an all rounder and till you adapt the path of re-learning , you cannot be a successful entrepreneur… it was a pleasure hearing him and specially wonderful knowing his experiences..

After this we had 3 of our alumni i.e. bharat wig , abhishek valecha and akriti Sharma to talk about how have they moved on after iilm , what are they doing at present , what are their future plans and what was iilm to them.. this was a great podium where all the 3 alumni’s thanked the faculty and advised the fresher’s to enjoy their 3 years stay in iilm.

As a student I take this opportunity and thank our college iilm and specially our teacher priyanka maam, who took an initiative and called such an experienced speakers to share their experience with all of us.

I thank all our alumni for coming and making this seminar a success. I would also like to thank the coordinators like Eshaan Mathur , Chandni Raju , Srishti Bhasin and Nishaant Sondhi from UG 3 without whom the event would have been a fail, thank you all for joining us for this seminar the alumni cell have more plans for you all in future..

Thank you
