Mr. Manish Singh started the session by recalling his earlier days at Indus Business Academy. He then continued explaining the adverse situations their batch faced during the recession of 2009. He took his example and shared his internship experience, where he worked for a reputed retail firm for six months without any stipend. He said working for that firm was his passion, hence other things didn’t affect him much. He conveyed the same message to the students, that always our passion should drive us forward instead of temporary changes in the market; because those things won’t give job satisfaction at the end of the day.

He suggested students not to be worried about their placements as there are nine more months left in the academic year, which can help the market overcome the losses and can generate employment. Mr. Manish advised everyone to work more on their basics by having their core field of expertise and hands-on experience in other areas. Having this kind of skill set can help students to adapt and master any kind of job role in future.

Later he discussed the importance of Networking in the present era. He explained this by taking his own example, where he got the job through LinkedIn. He suggested students increase their connections through LinkedIn and other professional networking platforms which are having a great potential to connect with various people in India and across the Globe.

At the end of the session, Mr. Manish answered a few queries regarding the interchangeability of departments and personality development. This entire session was very much informative as well as interactive. The session got concluded by Prof. Chandra Kant by expressing his vote of thanks to Mr. Manish Singh.

The entire session resembled the journey of the people who passed out during the recession, the struggles they faced, the challenges they encountered and the success they achieved irrespective of all the uncertainties.
