The Odyssey begins....

It was the second day of my Business School and I was full of curiosity, apprehension and excitement. In the second lecture itself, I was introduced to the whole crux of doing business.It was the class of Prof. T.Prasad popularly known as Dr.Mandi. As soon as he entered the class,he asked us to sit around him on the floor and keep the notebooks aside.I was totally surprised by his unique unconventional style of teaching.

There is no learning unless you are earning through it because....

                            " There is 'earning' in every learning "

He explained us every learning can be used for earning and there is nothing wrong in earning if we follow the right path. This is one of the important lessons I learnt. Earning by selling the right product seemed absolutely possible as I learnt this from a person who has been there and done that. The real life example of college students who made educational toy based on Newton’s Cradle and their success after the launch of product has opened my eyes. There are millions of opportunities that are lying around us. We just need to keep our eyes always open. That’s why he always keeps on saying:

“Dekho…..Socho…,Socho…..Becho….,Becho…….Seekho”

He also showed us other educational toys like a sponge ball with a world map which are sold in the Annual Mandi on the streets of Mumbai. The other toy though was looking like a butterfly but it could actually carry its weight on its beak. These toys would surely trigger the grey cells of students. These examples taught me the significance of selling the right product which is beneficial to the whole society. He also explained us about the importance of our body language, the way we hold the product, the way we present ourselves as this directly influences the end customer.
 

Lastly, Dr. Mandi asked us to share our learning using blogs with others so that anybody can learn through it. Anybody who is willing to learn will not have to pay the fees for it as whatever is taught in the class will be available on the internet for free. His dream is to make admission into a B-School redundant. This blog is just a small step from my side to make that dream come true.
