Challenges & Opportunities for Commerce Graduates

On 29th June’16 the first year BCom students were fortunate to be addressed by Ms Lalit Sridhar.

Mrs Lalit Sridhar co-founded Deeksha, A Unit of Ace Creative Learning Pvt. Ltd., along with Dr. G. Sridhar, in 1998. A Masters in Commerce and a Chartered Accountant by profession, and with the objective of bringing about a change in the education system, she has been a driving force in providing a supportive and caring environment to over 40,000 children who have been through the Deeksha system over the years, and in building the organisation from a small group of staff and faculty to a large family of 1,000 today!

A go-getter by nature, Ms Lalit has a never-say-die attitude – and when she takes up something passionately, the chances of the task being left undone is remote! Her passion to help children learn in a lively, creative and joyful way, motivated her to take baby steps in bringing technology into education – back in 2014! Her prime area of focus in the last couple of years has been in ideating and developing cutting edge technology products and solutions for children, teachers, parents and education institutions.

The session between 1:30 and 3 pm tackled topic on ‘Challenges & Opportunities for Commerce Graduates’.

She elaborated on the basic qualities necessary for being a successful person, importance of communication skills in the present times and the fundamental skills required to be developed to face the challenges in the work arena.  By sharing her own life’s examples and the experiences she had during the article ship days while pursuing Chartered Accountancy course, she awestruck, motivated and inspired the students. Ms Sridhar also advised the students on the time frame and the right way to make a career choice.
