Leadership Series

We have started a series of Lectures by eminent personalities at our workplace on Leadership. The First lecture was given by Bharatanatyam exponent Leela Samson. Last week the second lecture was delivered by Sandipan Deb ( Managing Editor , Outlook ) and the author of the Recent Book " IITans " (Sandipan is an Alumnus of IIT - Kgp & IIM - C ) .The Lecture was laced with self-deprecating humor and candor . He gave numerous examples of India Shining at the Research Institutions ( IISc,TIFR,IIT-M,IIT-Mum) . He was of the opinion that unless the Research facilities in premium institutes and rural entrepreneurship/education is encouraged , we still might miss the superpower bus . He spoke with a lot of affection about Prof.Ashok Jhunjhunwala of IIT- Madras , who is pioneering technology to the masses.
