Day / Week I - 17th October 2015
All the SLP 2016 participants were excited on the first day to get started on a life changing journey.
Day I started with course introduction by the SLP PL team. Tushar, Harshad, Sushil and Prathamesh gave us a quick glance of what would be in store for the entire day and over coming weeks.
Followed next was an inspiring session by Business Coach - Dr. Manish Gupta
The PL team certainly arranged for the best way to start the journey by inviting Dr. Gupta. Through his analogies and story telling Dr. Gupta made the SLP group realize the importance of ethics, surviving in business and running the show.
Later, Mr. Manoj Kulkarni of Fox Mandal explained in a nutshell how Fox Mandal would be associated with the SLP Program. Fox Mandal is one of the sponsor of the SLP program and we are certainly grateful to them.
Followed next were the e-Journeys of the participants of SLP. A 3 minute quick session was all we had to present about our life story so far to our fellow participants. It was wonderful to know about each others struggles and successes in 3 minutes.
The end of day session was by Ritesh Dwivedy, former Founder & CEO at JustEat.in (now acquired by FoodPanda). Ritesh took us through his journey of building an Internet based food delivery startup in India back in 2006, when people (read hotel owners) hardly knew what Internet was. His views based on practical experience with building a company, its technology, raising funds, handling exit was enjoyed best by the entire group.
In between the sessions, we had visitors from previous SLP batches describing their association with SLP. It is really good to see the entire SLP team as a cohesive group, helping each other, beyond individual batches.
The PL team did a fantastic job on Day I with the cherry picked speakers for the Day. All the SLP participants felt, it was time certainly well spent.
We now have our roles defined for the upcoming weeks. Exciting times are here...
Stay tuned to hear more on our journey...
