INNOVATION & “PERSISTENCE”!
It was a great day for the students of Mushtifund Aryaan Higher Secondary School (STD XI) when Mr. Girish Bharne, Associate Vice President and Head of the Goa Centre, Persistent Systems Ltd visited them for an interactive session recently.
Mr. Bharne made the session interesting by highlighting the importance of Innovations in his presentation. He spoke about how technology has changed the way the world functions today.. Stating examples of revolutionaries like Steve Jobs, he said that it takes only a moment to get a new idea or a creative thought but it takes a lot more to actually believe in it, pursue it and breathe life into it.
He also told the students about how important it is to keep triggering one’s mind to come up with innovations.It is important to establish and also survive through competition. Companies like Kodak and Nokia were washed out of the market as their creative quotient got stagnant.
Mr. Bharne showed students visuals with regards to how people in the older days used to work, wherein every task was time consuming but with the technology developing by the hour… things are just a click away!.
The session concluded with the Question and Answers session which was entirely coordinated by the Director, Mr. Vyankatesh Prabhudesai. The students eagerly asked their queries and Mr. Bharne responded with ease and enthusiasm.
“ We are in a digital world where technology changes happen everywhere.. unless we adapt to the changes and change ourselves .. we will soon be obsolete ” This was the food for thought Mr. Bharne gave the young minds and encouraged them to think new and think different !
