Renowned Bollywood actor and entertainment personality, Mr. Manoj Joshi specially took ot time to visit AGBS Ahmedabad and joined us for paying tribute to Dr. CK Prahalad, the Management Guru who passed away on 16 April, 2010.
The purpose of the event, apart from paying tribute, was to spread awareness about Dr. CK Prahalad''s life, his career, contributions to management thinking and to MNCs where he consulted, and to inspire students and programme participats. Veteran bollywood Actor Manoj Joshi, who hails from Gujarat and is settled at Mumbai, has won accolades for his role as Strategy Guru in his play Chanakya. Mr.Joshi explained the relevance of the historical significance of Chanakya''s times, and explained that there are many lessons to be learnt from this play, which can be applied to modern management, strategy and warfare.
He desrcibed how, the producers of the play researched and read all of Chanakya''s literature for three years. He urged students and faculty to read up more about Chanakya, and went on to interact with the students for about an hour, having a frank Q & A session with students who were very enthusiastic.
After visiting the AGBS Corridor were students had decorated the walls with posters and proverbs summarising the personal and professinal life sequence of Dr. CK Prahalad, he alongwith the faculty and students of AGBS Ahmedabad lit the candles and paid tribute to Dr. Prahalad.
Thereafter, he interacted with and motivated all the students in terms of starting from scratch every time in terms of learning and unlearning. He talked about passion and drawing inspiration on the smallest stimulus and everything happening around. He wrapped up by advising the students in terms of not getting bogged down by failures, said that success is a journey, not a destination - and urged everybody to take logical decisions and forge ahead in life.
Later in the noon, invited guestes from corporates attended the film clips and presentations by students.
The entire day was vibrant and it was totally a student driven activity which was planed and carried out on a good scale in just 2 days.
A good all round team effort...and the write up in ET certainly helped our branding...
