Alum Talk with Nikhil and Hemant

My first ever close interaction with a NITIE alumnus happened near about a month after joining. The insights that I gained from the session are priceless to say the least.

The session started with the discussion about whether Entrepreneurship is advisable or not. There is no clear cut answer to such a question. But, Nikhil and Hemant helped us in making informed choices. Entrepreneurship is advisable if and only if you are highly motivated to take it up. It would require lots and lots of patience. Possibly, you may have to shut down the business in a year or two then again start something new then again fail... and the process continues until something substantial clicks.

On the other hand, a job is not a bad deal at all. Moreover, depending upon the designation that you hold you may indirectly end up on an entrepreneurial job. There will be a sense of security as well.

Apart from this, the discussion about the establishment of "Mastishk" gave us real insights about how to go about starting something from the scratch. The difficulties faced and the way they were tackled also showed us the way to handle tough situations.


Finally, a list comprising a plethora of movies to watch and books to read ended the session on a lighter note.

Thank you Nikhil & Hemant !!
