After Graduation


I was selected for Deshpande Foundation as a Program Manager for “Entrepreneurship Academy” after my graduation. This program was working with the Educational institutes and mainly focusing on MBA colleges, the main intention of this program was to develop entrepreneurship in the college level by providing them with the extra subject of theory and practical learning (experiential Learning). With this they will be having modules on Entrepreneurial motivation training, IT skills, Entrepreneurial activities, talking to the successful entrepreneurs, visiting Enterprises (Site visits) to talk with the CEO and founders to know more about the entrepreneurship in their words, which will motivate them to become an entrepreneur and here in this program the main target group is faculty not the students. And I had a huge role in organizing the site visits and IT trainings for students, and partnered faculties along with coordinating for the modules and talking to the directors and faculties for the updates and improvements of the program.

Best Movie Maker


After the graduation based on the best performance in their specialization the fellows will be awarded with the best qualities in them during the fellowship and I was again awarded as “The Best Movie Maker”. The movies created by me were the best movies ever created by any of the fellows till the cohort 3.

My movies were liked by everyone in the foundation the creativity in the movies was unique every time, the options I use in movie was the learning for others.

Some of my friends were telling 

“Have you done this in the same software that we are using?”

 “I have never come across these kinds of options in this software”,

These were the comments I was getting when I was presenting my movie.

Social Entrepreneur


The social entrepreneurship is very important module of the fellowship program. This module was thought by the Mr Naveen Jha, The Director of Deshpande foundation. He thought about what are the qualities of entrepreneur and how can we differentiate between entrepreneur and social entrepreneur. The entrepreneur is one who implements his Ideas by taking risk. He is the one person who  visualize and actualize the things/Ideas. The social entrepreneur will do social good. Social entrepreneurship “combines the passion of a social mission with an image of business-like discipline, innovation, and determination.

Effective Communication.


The effective communication module was thought by the Mrs. Neelam. This was a very important module because it’s all about the communication this module helped me in knowing the different kinds of communication, like verbal and nonverbal communication and what role does it play in our daily life.  I learn t   key skills of communication those are effective listening and body language. These are the key points of good communicator. By using these skills I can communicate the right message to the audience.
