Dear Friends

It was in the first half of June, that one of the threads on this group eventually evolved in a request to Nandini to address our group.

Well there has been lots of exchange of emails (behind the curtains) and with the great help from Mukta and Karan, I am happy to share the details of the upcoming meet.

Meet Type: Theme Meet

Guest: Prof. Nandini Vaidyanathan

Guest Profile (in her own words): I have spent twenty years in the corporate sector growing biz for MNC's all over the world. I have had two separate stints as an entrepreneur. And now for the last three years, I teach Entrepreneurship at IIM-B and Princeton, sharing my experiential learning. My aim is to create the world's largest pool of entrepreneurs, because I see it as the need of the hour for India as it embarks on its growth trajectory. I started my company startups to help, to quote Aldous Huxley, 'ordinary people doing profitable and intrinsically significant work, of helping men and women to achieve independence from bosses, so that they may become their own employers...'

Topic: Nandini to share her take of entrepreneurial challenges, illustrating them with how some of her mentees managed or didn't manage. This will be followed by a Q & A session to address specific issues.

Do give me a shout in the meantime for anything that you may want help with regards to OCC ...
