Career Mentorship

• On October 2^nd, two esteemed alumni, Ghurair Sheikh, Chandra Bhople and Deepak Mehrato, joined us for an interactive session as part of the Career Mentorship Program. The topic for the session was entrepreneurship and overall career guidance. The two entrepreneurs laid out their experiences and formulated three main principles on constructing and establishing a successful business. The latter part of this session was dedicated to personality development. They cultivated ideals of self-confidence by inviting all students to come forth and present a few lines on select topics. This was followed by exercises in an attempt to counter stage fright. The participants gained greatly from the interaction and gained a head start into approaching their fields of choice.
