In 1962, on the thirtieth anniversary of the first flight of
Air India, JRD Tata re-enacted the original Bombay – Karachi flight in a
vintage Airplane. He had taken this flight, he said, “… to remind his employees
that the great airline we serve today was built from the smallest of
beginnings, with little more to sustain it than the Love, the Sweat and the
Devotion of those who worked for it.”
Tata’s have always been known in our country for their
strong morals and humility. These values are still instilled in the current
leadership of this global conglomerate. At the Enactus Leadership Training, we
had the fortune to meet Mr. Mukund Rajan, who is in every way an embodiment of
the values that Tata’s stand for. He is the Brand Custodian, Group Spokesperson
and Chief Ethics officer of Tata Sons Ltd. He is also a great orator and
listening to him has empowered us in many ways.
Later we did a case study discussion on a visual impairment
case, moderated by Ms. Shruti Sharma, GM – Enactus India. She explained the
Enactus model and Ideology with the help of this case with admirable ease. The
case was in fact a real project implemented by Technical University of Munich,
Germany, who were Enactus World Cup 2013 winners. Just a glimpse of the world
winners gave us great insights into entrepreneurial possibilities and motivated
us to work harder for our own projects. More details of their extraordinary
project can be found here:
Following this was Charulata R K, who enlightened us on
Branding and Leadership. It was fun when she handed out books to people who answered
her questions on analogies of Brands and Celebrities. Like elsewhere, SIMSR was
on the forefront in winning books.
The session ended with an impromptu talk by Dr. Arup Basu
who is the president – New Businesses and Innovation at Tata Chemicals Limited.
It was interesting to know some facts about products such as Tata Salt which
are ingrained in our daily lives in ways that we don’t even realize their
existence.
All in all this training was an amazing experience that each
of us Enactus members would treasure for life!
