Hosting Development Dialogue & Yuva Summit 2013




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.
