A session by Prof Anil Gupta [October 20 at 9 pm]

India is passing through an exciting point in its history, when more and more young people are charging the atmosphere and trying to make a breakthrough, all in their unique ways. Making a breakthrough often requires getting inner and outer self urges in line.  The interaction will help us all see numerous opportunities in social, cultural, technological and entrepreneurial spheres of nation building through which we can make a breakthrough. It is true that several of us have pursued paths that we liked, that society admired, and that our parents, who love us most, chose for us. But is it not time, we live our life through pursuit of dreams we have in our eyes? 

Most of us are unaware of any opportunities in this sphere. It is with that in mind that Professor Anil Gupta wants to speak to us all, to discuss if there are enough opportunities around. 

The talk will be held in CR4 tomorrow i.e.,  Wednesday, October 20 at 9 pm. Everybody is cordially invited to attend the talk, discuss your experiences and help create a positive environment for such activities within the campus.

In case you are unaware of who Prof Anil Gupta is, well, he focuses a lot on finding, promoting and replicating India's hidden hotbeds of innovation, which could lead to development of the encompassing societies. Take a look here, he is the only faculty member to have given not one, but two TED talks !
