     Once I had a great opportunity to make a presentation on "Self Directed Team and Organizational Development" to my teacher and a great mentor  Girinarayan G , one of his favorite subjects is organisation development. I always see that energy and the passion he has while talking about organization development (OD). I gained invaluable insights on how important is human resources (HR) in any company.  There is a general ignorance towards the HR department as they are non production departments in the company, yet these are the very same people who hire the talent needed for a company.   During our sessions on OD, self directed teams was one such topic, I was chosen to make a presentation, after learning about self directed teams, I remembered back in the initial days at Caerus Skillmatic when I experienced this without knowing about its benefits.      This is a story of how our small department in Caerus Skillmatic got introduced t...

This is a small project we did in class, our project was to come up with an idea for the a startup company. I would like to thank  Sandeep, Kiran, Ankur, Aparna for pitching in their contribution to build this idea as was we see now. Since there is a decline of local retail purchases in recent years. We are building a solution for local retailers. Bringing back business to the local businessmen.  LOCALLY : BUY INDIAN BUY LOCAL Locally is an app that connects all local retail stores with the near by customers. Our app connects all local retail stores to the customers 5 km around the store through our platform.  The distance depend upon the price of the product and the items. Terms and conditions applied.  The customer can search for any item listed from 100 hundreds on retail stores around 5 km  radius.  If the items are above 100 rupees, delivery free.  Or if the item is not urgent, it could be delivered for free by the end of the day.  ...

A memory I got from a care home for mentally challenged people  2010-2011 One Sunday, me and my friends sitting at our Sunday school class room talking about how hard have life been in the past 2 years and how hard it is going to be as we are approaching our higher secondary exams and we have to study twice harder as our future depends on it. I can see them worried about the exam, so was I. Sister Tessina came in and we greeted her, before beginning the class she told us the church is conducting a one day program, a visit to a home for mentally challenged people.  Nobody is interested, it is the end of our school years and our exams our at our door steps, we have to study hard each and every waking ours. There is one guy who brought his chemistry text to book to Sunday class so that he can learn something when ever he get time in between. I don't blame anyone for not having the interest, we are all worried about our exams. We all see our higher secondary ex...

                                  Introduction  I didn't wanted to write about this, I deleted this post before and I am rewriting it again but if I don't post it I will not get peace. This is a topic that is bothering me for a very long time. I hate to think about it, it consumes too much mental energy. And the research needed to find the truth is beyond me but that should not stop me from making my point or a first step. I find it very difficult to write about it.                                   I am an avid reader, I am keenly interested to know what is happening around the world. I spend minimum 2 hours reading all the news I can find everyday. If you ever read the same news from different source you will know how biased they are. The same news could be twisted to different forms...

I am not a fortune teller This blog would be a part II of my recent post Artificial Intelligence : Our future , my thoughts are going into every subjects and I want to organize my thoughts into writing so that I could figure it out what am I actually thinking. The following predictions could happen in next 30 to 50 years or even early. These predictions maybe too dreamy and unrealistic, however my question is what is really realistic about life we have now, we have cars that don't need drivers, robots that are deployed in moon and mars that are controlled from earth. Humans around the world fly. These are the things that were unrealistic hundred years ago. So let me get to the topic, and I want to inform you that I am not a fortune teller, and the content I share here may or may not happen in the future. The following are a few of my thoughts on how our future will shape. I am expecting even more incredible future in the next 50 years. 1. Universal Basic Income    ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the hottest trend and news for the past few years. I was first introduced the term A.I when I was sitting with a couple of software engineering students about 4 years ago. They were discussing about how robots will take over all the jobs. How technology will handle itself without any human interaction. It was scary, I felt like I will be killed by robots in a few years. Just like the "Terminator : Judgement Day" movie scene. I didn't comment about anything at that time because the people who were talking in the group were the so called "experts"  in the industry than me. I knew most of it would be some cooked up story from some random dude but there was a sense of worry in most peoples face. Is this going to be the end of the world?  Will we humans be erased from the face of the earth?     What is this all about?  AI is a computer which learns to display natural intelligence of humans or animals. One of the best ex...

Introduction                  The following is my thoughts on modern education, why do we learn, why do we go the schools and colleges to get these fancy degree.  What is the real purpose of education in modern time? This was the question put forward by our marketing professor before he began his class for the day. I was really silent to this question as I have to formulate me thoughts correctly before I speak. So one way for me to arrange my though is by writing.  Writing down makes me think. Some day, someone will be reading this, so let me know your thoughts in comments below. One more thing is I must make it short, so that I this is easy and interesting. Teaching is a divine profession  - Harison Xavier The Genesis  The education system we see today was implemented during the industrial revolution. People were send to factories and offices to work and kids were send to school to learn writing, reading, mat...
