Deshpande Foundation’s Development Dialogue (DD) that gives
a platform to participate, share, listen, meet, network, learn, make the best
moments of life and absolutely enjoy. I was continuously part of five DDs and
each time each was really meaningful and learning to me being as an organizer
and host. Hosting DD is like hosting the marriage of a sister where each moment
one has to be attentive with lot of humbleness and courtesy for all who are
hosting and absolutely for guests.
Many on spot changes and need to take decision and the best
decision that would not hamper the overall preparation of the function. Working
in a team is important but performing as a team is core to make the event
successful and that is what DD Team and LEAD Team (my team) did in last four
days.
Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar's wishes to me |
Development Dialogue and Yuva Summit 2013 has given lot of
opportunities that I cherished. Having personal interaction with Mr. Ratan Tata
or being the key person to take care of Dr. Raghunath Mashelkar for two days or
introducing Mr. Narayan Murthy, Dr. Gururaj Desh Deshpande, Mr. Dilip Chenoy to the audience or giving thanks note to Mrs.
Sudha Murty for her valuable interaction with young leaders or moderating panel
session with Ms Lakshmi Praturi (Curator, Inktalk), Ms Rashmi Bansal (Writer)
and Ramesh Raskar (Eyenetra) or moderating/curetting young leaders talk and
awards with Mr. Tata, Murthy, Mashelkar and Desh, it was all the part of four
days experience. It’s been really an awesome learning platform to me. DD has
also given a chance to be the panel speaker to share and talk on social intrapruneur.
