A surprise session - Informative and Engaging - By Mr. Nikhil Kulkarni

 A surprise session of ‘Business Communication’ with Mr. Nikhil Kulkarni – Co-founder Darwin Travel Tech  and Alumni of NITIE

Today`s session was focused on 2 important parameters – Consulting and Personal Branding.

Mr. Nkhil is a B. Tech graduate in Electronics & MBA from NITIE. He is a techie at heart – having pursued the whole gamut of IT Strategy to Project management, architecture and emerging technology consulting in his 11 years in KPMG. Being more of a DIY traveller himself, Nikhil encountered travel planning problems himself and reconnecting with Aditya realised the commonality of thought and ambition.

Nikhil quit KPMG as an Associate Director to co-found Darwin with Aditya and leads the technology end of things and is out there to pursue his ambition to create a global technology driven business out of India. In his personal life Nikhil is an avid blogger and crypto-currency, cleantech and Spacetech enthusiast.

Consulting:

Coming to the session, both are important aspects especially in today’s world. Consulting is one of the most preferred professions by most of the MBA candidates and it is equally challenging.

He shared useful insights regarding various tools that will help you as an consultant and how the workplace challenges make us evolve in terms of increasing productivity. It was interesting to hear how a consultant should align his thought process with their clients and other aspects.

Personal Branding:

‘Personal Branding’ has become inevitable to be successful in not only professional world but also in personal life. With increasing complexity of world and increasing competition, personal branding will definitely work as proof of our personality. This will help us on different front. Considering the aspirant`s point of view,  many recruiters will be more willing to hire you based n your brand rather than getting into other tedious process (although this works as a helping hand but surely help you stand out. ) We must focus on improving ourselves and equally on representing ourselves in proper manner.

I am  thankful to our Business Communication Prof. T. Prasad for giving this opportunity to hear directly from a person who has rich professional experience.

Thanks.
