A young Indian's thoughts on E Week India activities

Sunitha Yadav writes after participating in a fun-based puzzle activity organised at Institute of Bioinformatics and Applied Biotechnology , which exposed the participants to some of the critical aspects of entrepreneurship like team building, adapting to changing scenarios, new idea generation and negotiation.

From the time entrepreneurship week has begun, I am more inclined to believe that it's actually possible for one to start an enterprise. And I guess the best way to get people to start thinking about something is to start making them hear about it.

I always felt that it was a herculean task to start one's own company. But the enthusiasm I see has made me believe that to accomplish one's dreams, one has to start believing in them. And awareness programmes such as these sow the seeds of hope that we should not discard an idea as something inconceivable.

Because I think that something that is just an idea today can evolve into something extraordinary and significant tomorrow. Many a lesson have I learnt today at IBAB! Working together in a team, how to manage people based on their temperament, not to appear too imposing but at the same time making oneself heard, working together as a unit.

And this morning's activity made me understand that how important it is for some people to just quieten down and focus on work without getting distracted even when team members of the same and other groups are contributing to the already existing chaos. There was this huge furore as to which team would do better. So on the whole it was a very interesting exercise and it was fun going back to puzzle fixing!
