Well, it has been a long absence from the blog. I had been giving a lot of time to the blog at the expense of other activities. So, I decided to stay away from it for while but not this while. I’ve got the blog-life balance all messed up. Will be working towards getting it right.
A lot of ‘river’ flows down the bridge in ISB in a matter of days. We had speaker sessions, more speaker sessions and yet more speaker sessions at ISB in the days gone by. We had Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, Rajat Gupta, Kush Medhora (CEO of Home Solutions, a Future Group Company) and a host of others who shared their pearls of wisdom with us. However, the most impressive of all were our guest faculty for the PaEV (Planning an Entrepreneurial Venture) course – Manish Sabharwal from Team Lease and Sanjeev Bikchandani and Hitesh Oberoi from InfoEdge (the Naukri.com) team.
Manish Sabharwal was a revelation. He spoke non stop for 90 minutes without ever losing the audience’s attention. Not a single pause, no umm….aahh….fillers and a brilliant inspiring speech. I was floored by his wax-eloquence and his knowledge.
Sanjeev Bikchandani and Hitesh Oberoi walked us through the trials and tribulations of their entrepreneurial journey. Their, especially Sanjeev’s, faith and belief in the idea and passion towards entrepreneurship were so inspiring. Both of them were quite modest about their success and had none of the airs usually associated with great achievements. All along their presentation I was looking for the factors that made them successful and gave them the competitive advantage over their competition. For some reason, I felt really glad that they succeeded and I really wish them much greater successes. They inspired so many of the students to actually take up entrepreneurship rather than look for placements – this to me was the biggest gain of this session.
Hope to be back with you all soon after setting my ‘blog-life’ balance right!

A thought. Does ISB video tape the speakers. If so, can they be published on the ISB website.
If not, any plans in future?. Pearls of wisdom are for all, right?
