Gift A Rakhi!!!!

Prof.Mandi has been actively involved in introducing various Alumnis to our class in the pursuit of knowledge sharing. Every lecture has been enriching in experience. This time, he has introduced us to a special bunch of enthusiasts . They are special because unlike our alumni, they are right in interaction space of ours. They were our own seniors !!!!!

                This very fact  has stuck a chord with us as we had a live example in front of us who could venture out into the competition with their ideas when they were as occupied as us. Does this mean we too have an opportunity to promote our idea to the next level. The answer is an obvious “YES” after the session we had . An EYE opener session.

                Shubam and his friends are a young group of people who believed in a novel idea that envelopes our tradition . They are the new age postmen who not only deliver the message, but also keep the value intact by delivering it in time and on occasion .They developed an e-commerce for selling rachis, and this idea is feasible in the current scenario were siblings are separated by distance due to the responsibilities created through time. They have not limited to providing rachis through their website, but also came up with the idea of bundling value adding gifts to complement the rachis and thereby increase the revenue.

             The idea evoked positive response from our class, as they were interested to dig deep into the story behind the idea and the obstacles that had to be surpassed in the pursuit of making it to a reality.

There is an entrepreneur in everyone, but why is he hiding?

           This was the question that stuck to my mind since the class. Every individual wanted to know the processes to initiate a company , and the logistics behind it.I was surprised to know that the seniors have actually incorporated payment gateway that was also a part of famous ventures like redbus and snapdeal. This would immensely help in garnering the necessary credibility for the first time user and might create a sale from the look. These small additions generate a value on which trust can be balanced . The young entrepreneurs were also patient to understand that e-commerce business are not an instant hit and do take some considerable time in capturing “sales”.

Overall the session was a must to all the explorers in our batch including me, and would like to finish it off by thanking prof.Mandi for introducing such young talent to us.
