Point10-Xcellon Technology Summit - 2009 - Update !

It is rightly said, all that begins well, is surely going to end well, or shall we say, in Point10's case, all that has begun well, will hopefully continue to get better and better with each passing work week. This past weekend and more or less the last two weeks has seen Point10 Team members spring into action towards a successful launch of Technology Summit.

Our first public event was held on 8^th Aug, which provided the platform for professionals to come forward and propagate the ideology of revitalizing how the education ecosystem can be transformed for the well being of the students by distributing books to needy/talented students. It basically showed the ETHICAL side of Team Point10, wherein we young funded needy/talented students’ education.

But we want our Youth to be Professionaly Competent as well. So to take our initives to the next Level we have created a platform to bring together Professionals and Educationist from across various industries to share their insights to prepare students for the future.

We were also very privileged to have a right startegic partner, Xcellon Insitute for our Student- Awareness initiatives.

The Xcellon Way : At Xcellon, education goes beyond giving facts and knowledge. We believe that management is a way of thinking and hence we focus on developing the key mental processes that enable a person to excel.

Point10-Xcellon Technology Summit - 2009

A big hall of Xcellon Institute, filled with 125+ students of various Engineering colleges from Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Mehsana, Baroda, Surat, Bhuj etc; along with 10+ professionals discussing on the surge of new Emerging IT Trends in the world and how students can prepare themselves for ever-chaning world of Information Technology.

On the 22^nd of Nov’09, Point10 with the association of the Xcellon Institute, had organised the Point10-Xcellon Technology Summit - 2009 with the motto of revitalizing education Eco-system and providing a new platform to the students of Gujarat. Various Professionals and Educationists from across the IT Industry with exp. From Yahoo, Sun-Microsystems, Infosys, Cognizant, iCUBIX, Radix Technologies etc were present to share their insights to prepare students for their future.

The delegates present were hardly people above the age of 30!!! This is what the India’s Gen Nxt is on to!!! The youth of our country, which represents 50 per cent of our population, is full of opportunities to make India competitive in the globalised world.

The summit was started by Mr. Jatin Chaudhary, CEO’s keynote regarding the Theme of the summit ( Be Aware. Be Prepared.)and on why one should work on something which they love doing.

Mr. Kunal Chaudhari ( VP – SDG @ Point10 ) and Mr. Kartik Iyer ( Mentor - BCG @ Point10 ) , explained the students on Emerging IT trends i.e. Web 2.0, ERP, Intelligent Systems and the importance of “OUT OF BOX” thinking in software development.

Mr. Puneet Thariani ( Mentor – Design Group @ Point10) talked about the importance of a UX ( User Experience ) and User friendly Design.

Mr. Pratik Mistry ( Technology Mentor @ Point10 ) explored the very important and relevant technology buzzwords ERP and DBMS giving the basic knowledge to the students.

Mr. Roopesh Madan, Vice President – IT,Finance @ Claris Lifesciences, talked about the various careers that IT students can pursue and which they were unaware of.

Mr. Umesh Solanki ( Mentor – Communications Skills @ Point10 ) described the importance of being multitasker. He said that one should not only go for specialization in just a single IT field. According to him, IT is not just adding labels to your already booming file of degrees. Students should try to be a Technologist along with acqurirng specialization in various fields.

Bhaumik Vasani, a 3^rd Sem BE (IT) Student from CHARUSAT CHANGA, was awarded the Point10 Leader of the Month for his wonderful,informative research on Cleantech Industry.

Lastly Team Point10 talked about Point10 –Campus Internship Program 2010 available for finaly year students.

All sessions were highly interactive with lots of students taking part into conversations and at times asking tricky questions to the speakers. This shows the quality of students we have , its just that they are not exposed to the external world as they should be.

All the Participants were awarded with certificates and guests were honoured with a token of thanks.

The summit ended with a clear notion to the people “BE AWARE. BE PREPARED.”

There was a time when 10 by 10 meant 100%, perfection, A+, something to strive for but mostly never to achieve. Conclusively, the Point10-Xcellon Technology Summit - 2009 was one such effort by Team Point10 to strive towards perfection.

This is just the start... their are still many more of it to come.

Coming Soon : Cleantech Summit, Healthcare Summit, Electronics Summit, Communications Skills workshop etc.

Best regards,

Team Point10.

Recent Updates - Sept 2009 !

Point10 has been establishing itself in small amounts but with bigger returns in a lot of places for the past month. There have been many events and things to talk about but in a nutshell for our supporters following are some of the significant milestones that Point10 achieved in the month of September.

The month witnessed Point10 hosting a "Communication Skills Training" event in Point10's office in Ahmedabad. The event was held on a public holiday, and yet it showcased students coming from all parts of Gujarat only to move one step further and take the benefit of honing their vocal and written skills. The training sessions were done by two people from completely different backgrounds -
Kartik Iyer ( MBA –Sales Marketing, Founder – Verisquare.com)
Umesh Solanki (10^th Pass , Sales Manager – Pulmonix Healthcare, and has been the Soft Skills trainer at International Call Centers)
The entire session was quite interactive where students were given the opportunity to come forward with their likes, dislikes, thoughts and express themselves for 5 minutes. A brief overview and in depth session was then help by Kartik, Umesh and Jatin (CEO, Point10) himself, imparting valuable information of how to proceed with changing one's personality, one's way of expressing through words on paper or through the spoken medium and a lot of other tips and suggestions of how to go about improving one's communication and interfacing skills.

Looking to the enthusiasm of all the students who were involved in this session, Point10 has now decided to organize such a session every weekend on Sundays at the Point10 office in Ahmedabad.

On the marketing side for Point10, there has been a major update in the month of September and it seems Point10 is on their way to a major breakthrough in terms of acvhieving another well-deserved milestone. This update comes as a major step for Point10's web presence, as the team who would be working on all the portals of Point10 is ready. A group of people has been selected to be a part of the Point10 Portal Development Team, and the members of this team come from all types of Software background spanning various universities across Gujarat. A total of 11 students have been given this opportunity of helping the Point10 Core Team Members and assisting them in making sure the Web Presence of Point10 is felt in a strong fashion through the 4 web portals: Books10.org, Jobs10.org, Projects10.org and Education10.org

These students would be responsbile for developing and establishing Point10's portals and their mentoring would be done through various members from the industry who are associated with Point10.

In terms of the Business perspective, Point10 managed to bag their first project. Chaudhary Designers and Fabricators are Point10's first client and the team at Point10 is already enthusiastic about this opportunity of doing their best. The resources are being now discussed and assigned for this project, and through the completion of thie project, Point10 once again confirms their ideology and their goal behind this venture.

So the team is in place, Point10 is on track, the buzz is around, people are noticing our working and appreciating our hard work, and most importantly, students are gaining a lot of confidence and a stable platform to guide their career paths.
