Abstract of the talk:
As my mentor, Ratheesh Krishnan says and practices “Make a difference to make a living”. This is exactly what I follow too. Every one of us try to make something for ourselves, for our family, for people around us, for society, and for the community. We all try to make a difference in our own ways. But what if you make a living by making a difference - by changing your own life - by changing it the way you want it to be - by changing and impacting the lives of so many other people like you. And that is me - a 20-year-old extremely extroverted and an optimistic night owl. And that is what we are going to have a conversation about. The intent of this conversation will be to help individuals to reflect upon themselves, and to help them to decide their own future with what I have learned in my 4 years of experience as a college student with a small dream, as an intern, as a freelancer, as a mentee, as a mentor, and as an entrepreneur.
“The major takeaway will be on how to seize opportunities and how to make the best use of this pandemic. A fun-filled conversation on dreams, sacrifices, and opportunities. "
