Alternate Career Choices Industry : Entertainment

Date: 18th Feb,2016

Resource Person : Ms. Sumukhi Suresh

Raised in Nagpur, Sumukhi calls herself a confused Tamalayali who was the bullied fat child in school.

Into theatre since 2006, she first started experimenting during her graduation days in Chennai. Her

journey with comedy began as an improv performer, then sketch comedy and finally into standup

comedy.

From a five minute monologue as Shrek for a college event to her first commercial play ‘Retell’ to a

compilation of six short stories by Satyajit Ray and IsmatChughtai, where she played the role of an 80-

year old quirky Afghani traveller, all these exdperiences made her realise that she was not awkward

playing any role, and could work as a comedian.

Her advice to those who want to do things but have stage fright, she says - “Take the step; make a fool out

of yourself, do it for yourself, it is liberating after that! Do it now!” “Stage fright is the best thing for any

performer.. Start believing that you might just have it in you to be the funny one!”

Design Thinking Workshop-How to inspire Creativity & be a D-Thinker

Date :19th of July 2016

Resource Person : Mr. Saveen Hegde

Design Thinking is revolutionizing the worlds of business and governance and is now considered the gold

standard for providing truly user-centered outcomes.

Whether you own an organisation or are a part of it, you constantly need to generate, embrace, and execute new

ideas. That takes creativity and a creatively capable workforce. It’s the secret sauce that makes you competent.

Without it, no matter how big or efficient your organization or work maybe, it simply fades into insignificance.

The principles and processes of Design Thinking help create holistic, sustainable solutions with a focus that’s

customer centric. A Design Thinker approaches problem solving from the point of view of the end user &

develops a deep understanding of unmet needs of the end user.

The first session of the Design Thinking Workshop was conducted by Mr.SaveenHegde, Director of UNBOX on

the 19th of July 2016. The aim was to enable a perfect balance between art and business, chaos and structure,

work and play in future endeavors. The workshop also placed an emphasis on teamwork and all activities were

conducted in groups. The thinking process was divided into four stages: the What Is stage, the What If stage, the

What WOWs stage, and the What Works stage.

The What Is stage involved understanding the customer’s mindset through milestones and journey maps. Journey

mapping is like a chronological representation of all the major events or milestones that take place in the process

of an activity. For example, a customer's act of buying a product online might involve milestones like the

customer turning on the wifi, followed by turning on their laptop or mobile phone, searching for the website,

setting filters to show the products the customer is interested in, adding products to the shopping cart so on and so

forth until the purchase is complete. After this, the milestones that cause happiness and anxiety can be identified

as well as the degree of happiness or anxiety caused at each one.

At the What If stage, the objective was to minimise the level of anxiety and increase the happiness caused by

each milestone. Each group brainstormed for ideas, even making mind maps. Using the previous example, some

of the most anxious moments of purchasing online could be while searching for a particular product. The

possibility of the product being out of stock or outside the customer’s price range could cause displeasure.

Brainstorming would generate ideas to improve the online shopping experience. At the What If stage there should

be no restrictions when coming up with ideas, anything that comes to mind should be written down.

The third stage is the What WOWs stage. In this stage, assumptions are broken and prototypes based on

promising ideas are developed. These prototypes can be taken to customers to test their response. This will help

understand or improve the ideas further.

Finally, the fourth stage is What Works, where all the ideas are sifted through and the idea that is most practical

and achievable based on resources available, time and money/capital available. The ideas left at the end are viable

options for the organization. Additionally, they are highly likely to succeed as the primary focus of this thinking

process is the end customer.

Topic :‘Building Creative Confidence.’

Resource Person : Mr. Saveen Hegde

Industry : Corporate Trainer/Consulting

Entrepreneurship is a key driver of our economy. Wealth and a high majority of jobs are created by

small businesses started by entrepreneurially minded individuals, many of whom go on to create big

businesses. People exposed to entrepreneurship frequently express that they have more opportunity to

exercise creative freedoms, higher self esteem, and an overall greater sense of control over their own

lives.

It is with this in mind that we decided to inspire our students to succeed in an entrepreneurial economy. The

topic for the Day was – ‘Building Creative Confidence.’ The workshop was conducted by Mr. Saveen S Hegde ,

Creative Leadership Expert.

Emotional Intelligence Date : 12th February,2018 Resource Person :Potters Wheel Industry : Corporate Training Your subconscious mind is subjective. It does not think or reason independently; it merely obeys the

commands it receives from your conscious mind. Just as your conscious mind can be thought of as the

gardener, planting seeds, your subconscious mind can be thought of as the garden, or fertile soil, in

which the seeds germinate and grow. Below are a few quotes highlighting the power of the

subconscious mind. Use these quotes to elevate your thinking and your life to a new level.

In the words of Napoleon Hill - “The reason man may become the master of his own destiny is because

he has the power to influence his own subconscious mind.”

With this in mind this workshop was organised.

leading us through several scenarios with both humor and a critical eye, he helped us understand several

aspects of being an entrepreneur that are not commonly discussed. He demonstrated how the foundation

of entrepreneurship should be solutions rather than just ideas and advocated organic curiosity with

respect to the ventures we take on. Most of all, he reminded us to always ask what we can do for the

world rather than solely focusing on what the world can do for us. As we saw first-hand the struggles

and accomplishments of several strong people with entrepreneurial mindsets that were used as anecdotes

in his speech, we were all truly inspired.

Panel Discussion – Live your entrepreneurial dream

Date : 12th February,2018

Resource Persons:

Mr RomilTurakhia, Speaker, Panelist and Published Author as well as one of the world’s leading

experts in Business Process Management and Enterprise Content Management. His current venture is

Candela Labs

Mr Pranab Singh, the CEO of Thought Mill Works Communication Pvt Lt

Mr Shahan Sud, a social entrepreneur who founded “The Lakshya Programme”

Alumni of Mount Carmel College and Co-Founders of Plush Bengaluru, Nydile Ranganath and

Anmol Bajaj

No one ever said it was easy being an entrepreneur. Whether you're in the early stages of your statrup,

just secured funding for your startup or you are ready for product launch, there will always be those

three components when you ask yourself if this whole entrepreneur thing is worth it. Instead of giving

up and throwing-in the proverbial white towel, keep your head up and look up to stories of inspiration to

motivate you during those tough patches.

With this in mind , The second event that took place on Monday during MCC’s E-Week was a Panel

Discussion called “Live Your Entrepreneurial Dream”. It was held in the Mount Carmel Institute of

Management and started at 11:30 AM. There were five distinguished panelists for the day. Ms Sumita

Kumar, the Coordinator of the MCC E-Cell and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Business

Administration, was the moderator for the discussion. The panel began with the – My Story Session

where each panelist shared their entrepreneurial journey.

The first panelist to take the stage was –

Mr Pranab Singh, the CEO of Thought Mill Works Communication Pvt Ltd - a digital marketing

and advertising agency and the President of Daffodils Toastmasters Club in Bangalore. Using

experiences from his own life as examples, he showed the audience the importance of consistent hard

work when on the journey to success. As someone who started working at the age of 10 and who had a

business by the age of 17, he was able to show all the students how to chase experiences while searching

for goals. He reminded everyone that even though luck is a factor in becoming successful, luck is the

intersection of opportunity and preparedness, and that no amount of luck will help if people are not

prepared to seize the opportunities that they are given.

The second panelist to take the stage was-

Mr Shahan Sud, a social entrepreneur who founded “The Lakshya Programme”, a leadership and

job training initiative. As a young entrepreneur, he successfully connected with the audience of college

students. He explained how his experience of rejection early in his college days fuelled his desire to

change the existing systems of education. He told the audience that college will not prepare people to

everything, and that budding entrepreneurs must be willing to take risks in a changing job space in order

to stand out.

In the third slot were two panelists-

Alumni of Mount Carmel College and Co-Founders of Plush Bengaluru, NydileRanganath and

Anmol Bajaj. Just two years ago, both were familiar faces on campus, taking opportunities that gave

them valuable skills that helped them succeed in their venture. They reminded all the students in the

audience of the need to do something, because every business starts with people taking initiative. They

showed the audience how failures can be learning experiences, but inaction does not benefit anyone.

While plans can change and things can go wrong, they demonstrated the need to try new things despite

the challenges.

Mr RomilTurakhia was the final panelist. He is a Speaker, Panelist and Published Author as well as

one of the world’s leading experts in Business Process Management and Enterprise Content

Management. His current venture is Candela Labs, a highly successful producer of global enterprise

software products that has been operating for 20 years with customers in 15 countries. As an

experienced ‘serial entrepreneur’ who started four ventures, he generously shared his experiences of

both failure and success and how they helped him find his path to entrepreneurship. He told the audience

to use college years wisely, as they are a formative experience. He then showed everyone how to find

passion, create a vision from that passion and then create a business with that vision.

After this, Ms Sumita Kumar asked each of the panelists questions about the trials associated with

entrepreneurship. As the audience mainly comprised new business owners and aspiring future

entrepreneurs, the purpose of this question and answer session was to help prepare them to face the

challenges of taking risks. Some of the topics that came about through this session were the role of

parental supportand encouragement in success, whether colleges are able to prepare students for

competitive job environments, how to screen partners and how to proceed when a partnership is

not functioning correctly and the various ways in which entrepreneurship may affect social

relationships.

While some of the serious topics brought up during the discussion might have previously scared the

audience, all the students were motivated by how the panelists were able to face challenges and succeed

despite the odds. Therefore, rather than fear, the audience left the room with an enriched understanding

of life as an entrepreneur and felt prepared to take steps towards it.

Pursue Your Dreams

Date :09/18/2014

Resource Person : Mr. Danish Sait

Industry : Radio / Entertainment

Success has a very tricky definition. You can have the ideal job, make a decent salary, have that sports

car you always wanted, and still not really be successful.

To truly be happy, you need to be doing things that fill you up. Finding your passion in the world can be

the difference between struggling to get out of bed in the morning and being excited to get the day

started. Sometimes you need to stop and ask if you’re really chasing the life you want or chasing

something someone else wants of you.

Danish Sait spoke to the young crowd of 1500 with regard to pursuing their dreams.

Talk - UNBOX UR POTENTIAL

Date : 14th February , 2018

Resource Person : Mr. SaveenHegde , Design Thinking Specialist

Industry :Corporate Trainer/Consulting

At 9 AM, the DJB auditorium was packed once again as MCC students gathered enthusiastically to

listen to a talk by Mr SaveenHegde. He is a prominent creative leadership and design thinking specialist,

and all the students were waiting with bated breath to listen to him deliver words of knowledge in his

unmistakable, humorous fashion.

Natasha, a student of MCC took the stage as the emcee for the second time during MCC’s E-Week. In

the spirit of entrepreneurship, she reminded everyone that it is okay to fail and to take risks, because

every risk is a learning experience that can be used to reach success in the future. She then introduced

the speakers and the chief guests for the day.

Ms Sumita Kumar was next to address the audience. As the Coordinator for the MCC E-Cell, an

Assistant Professor in the Department of Business Administration and the supervisors of the Incubation

Centre, she is actively involved in all the campus activities related to business and entrepreneurship. She

inspires all the students, keeping everyone informed about events related to entrepreneurship that are

hosted by MCC and encouraging them to take leadership roles during these events. For the benefit of

new students and guests, she explained some of the entrepreneurship-related activities that take place on

campus including the Incubator, the campus company, Myriad, and the sanitary pad unit. She spoke to

the students the importance of becoming job providers rather than just job seekers.

Next, another student, Sandra, introduced Mr SaveenHegde and he took the stage. He walked the

audience through his early working life in an entertaining and engaging manner, showing them how and

why he felt trapped by the routine of a more conventional job. He also showed the audience the

importance of dedication and hard work, by telling the story of a worker at a factory. In his inimitable

way, he told us how important it was to be excited to learn.

As this talk was an interactive session, he asked the audience to come up with 6-word stories and got

them to utilize their powers of innovation. Then, he stunned the crowd with an escape act, during which

he was tied to a chair, but broke free of the knot in a matter of seconds. He reminded the students that no

matter how daunting a problem may seem, there is always a way out.

After that, he led the audience through another interactive exercise, asking them to identify problems

that were close to their hearts and suggest ways to solve them on a large scale. The whole audience was

in peals of laughter as he gave them advice in a witty, but supportive way. Finally, he asked the students

to stand up and laugh at each other. He used this as a metaphor for how there will always be someone

who ridicules any idea. He showed them how to not be discouraged by this, and how to prevent

themselves from discouraging other aspiring entrepreneurs. He ended the talk by communicating the

importance of finding the right channel for ideas.

As the talk came to an end, all the students left the audience feeling enriched by the experience. Mr

SaveenHegde embodied his philosophy of “live, laugh, learn” perfectly as he was able to connect with

the students and draw out some viable business ideas from them, helping them on their way to reach

their full potential.

Tap the power of Subconscious Mind Date : 12th February,2018 Resource Person : Potters Wheel Industry : Corporate Trainers

Emotional intelligence can be the most potent weapon in our armoury. It helps boost our self-awareness,

self-control, motivation, empathy, and social skills, all of which help us become much better leaders.

Mr Suhas Kumar Co-Founder of Potter’s Wheel Began the session by ceremoniously introducing the

two trainers for that day – Mr. Srinivasachar Mulugund and Mr. Moses.

The session began with Mr. Moses introducing himself and encouraging students to do the same but also

enact any type of emotion. Mr. Moses Then went on to explain the differences between EQ and IQ

followed by the objectives of the workshop.

The session commenced with an introductory Ice Breaker video on Emotional Quotient.

Each participant was then given time to speak about a situation during which they were emotionally

hijacked.

Each participant was asked to fill out a questionnaire to test their emotional intelligence covering the

parameters of –

Self-awareness – Is the ability to recognise what you are feeling, to understand your habitual emotional

responses to events and to recognise how your emotions affect your behaviour and performance. When

you are self-aware, you see yourself as others see you, and have a good sense of your own abilities and

current limitations

Managing Emotions- The ability to stay focused and think clearly even when experiencing powerful

emotion. Being able to manage your own emotional state is essential for taking responsibility for your

actions, and can save you from hasty decisions that you later regret.

Motivating oneself- The ability to use your deepest emotions to move and guide you towards your

goals. This ability enables you to take the initiative and to persevere in the face of obstacles and setbacks

Empathy- The ability to sense, understand and respond to what other people are feeling, Self-awareness

is essential to having empathy with others. If you are not aware of your own emotions, you will not be

able to read the emotions of others.

Social Skill- The ability to manage, influence and inspire emotions in others. Being able to handle

emotions in relationships and being able to influence and inspire others are essential foundation skills for

successful team work and leadership.

Based on the test scores with half the participants requiring to give a little attention to some parameters,

the facilitator Mr. Srinivas explained what emotional intelligence is and how important it is in the

workplace. Since it is a part of how people interact with each other – the most important part of any

relationship is Accepting, Adjusting and Appreciating the qualities of other people. These three things

are the key to the success of any relationship. It is possible to build a relationship with anyone no matter

the differences between them.

A second activity to test the level of assertiveness and responsiveness that each participant has to

understand the kind of style their social interaction has. They could be any of the four – Analytical,

Driver, Expressive or Amiable. Mr Srinivas moved onto explain how these social styles could be used

for self-awareness in sales management and in interpersonal relationships

The workshop was very interactive; people explained how emotions have played a negative role in their

life but with this workshop they find it very useful for to understand why people feel certain type of

emotions. This workshop helped everyone learn more about themselves. The workshop helped people

understand what makes a relationship strong and last long for years. The session closed with a video of

Stephen R Covey 90 by 10 principle, that explained the importance of responding to a situation instead

of reacting to it. The difference being in understanding the consequences of your actions.

using integrated circuits instead of electromechanical devices to implement control functions.

They are capable of storing instructions, such as sequencing, timing, counting, arithmetic, data

manipulation, and communication, to control industrial machines and processes.

PLCs can be thought of in simple terms as industrial computers with specially designed architecture in

both their central units (the PLC itself) and their interfacing circuitry to field devices (input/output

connections to the real world).

Programmable logic controllers are mature industrial controllers with their design roots based on the

principles of simplicity and practical application.

Objective of the workshop: To prepare the students to take career in PLC /SCADA
