Greetings to everyone, this is Celestial V, also known as CH. In this blog, I'll shed light on all the things that I learned in a seminar organized by my college on entrepreneurship and innovation. It was a guest lecture by Ms. Swarupa Gorrepati, who works at T-Hub, one of the largest incubation centers for startups and innovation in Hyderabad. She also collaborates with many technical institutes to aid in growing ideas. She visited our campus on March 9, 2024, to drive academic success and encourage us to be opportunity providers rather than opportunity seekers and to become active participants in our country's economic growth. When India celebrates its 100th Independence Day in 2047, we can proudly say that as a country, we have eradicated all the root causes of our backwardness, including poverty, technological unavailability, and everything that delayed our progress.
"EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO LEVERAGE INNOVATION."
She begins her talk by mentioning the importance of youth in nation-building, how they can upskill themselves, and come up with their best and upgraded version. She explains that the future we have in our minds and eyes is very volatile, uncertain, ambiguous, and complex. The change that we want will come with hard work, consistency, perseverance, and sacrifice because when it comes to survival, it is not the most powerful or the smartest who survive. The one who survives till the last is the one having the ability to change, the one who is adaptable to the surroundings and to the needs. Change is constant.
She explains that later in the coming days, there will be no concept of training and placement cells. It will be an open challenge to all the problem solvers, as they will be called to come up with their best solutions.
Later, with the help of an iceberg, she explains the surface difference of perspective, of what we see and of what lies beneath those layers. Strategies, skills, and tactics lie above, while identity, purpose, definition, success, and failures all lie beneath the layers. So, she encourages college students to be authentic, fearless, ambitious, creative, relevant, and unapologetic, to explore new opportunities, collaborate, co-create, fight for their dreams, not compromise, take risks, and take themselves and their ideas seriously, even if it takes going for a gap year, which is very uncommon for Indian students but is a popular tradition in foreign countries.
They complete their bachelor's then go for market experiences, they learn there, and then again come back to study further. So, it's not uncommon for older people to come for their masters with their juniors. Life never stops teaching us, so how can we stop learning?
In the last minutes, she gave us a tour of T-Hub, which is one of the largest incubation centers, as I have mentioned earlier. She also invited us to become a part of this long family and contribute actively. She also suggested college management have an Entrepreneurship and Development Cell and urged us to acquire skills like problem-solving attitude, creativity, collaborating power, and co-creating attitude.
We all were very fortunate to have an experienced speaker like her; we learned a lot of things from her, and I hope such events will be continued by your management.
Thanks for investing your time here.
