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.

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.

The Event that launched Point10 !!!

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 our concept.

Past weekend, Point10 held their first public event to come forward and propagate the ideology of revitalizing how the education ecosystem can be transformed for the well being of the needy students. The event was held at the AMA (Ahmedabad Medical Association) and approximately 150 people attended it, giving the team a much needed boost and inspiration to continue doing what Point10 believes in.

Of those who attended the event, was almost the entire team of Point10, those who live locally in Ahmedabad, and some flew in from other parts of India, there were members from the press to help Point10 swim through the channels of communication, there were mentors who form the core of our team and who would be responsible in carrying the Point10 concept forward, there were students who came with hopes of not being disappointed, their parents who came with a lot of heart to see their respective young sons and daughters get a helping hand in shaping their career, and most importantly some important delegates and prominent members of the industry to help give Point10 the cutting edge.

Point10 was thus launched on a big platform and all the previous month's hard work, diligent dedication and toiling by the team, was finally taking a respectable shape and the word was spreading fast. The team thus introduced the 4 important flagship projects of Point10, namely - Books10, Education10, Jobs10 and Projects10. The business group was also put forward to convey the message of how Point10 will be looking after the industry level experience for the students.

A brief message from the mentors, the felicitation of the student coordinators, the vision and future goals of Point10 until 2010 were some of the few tangents that Point10 managed to touch in great details to give the audience a wider outlook of our working. Some facts and figures are presented below as achieved by our team in the event:

• 60 talented and needy students shortlisted from 6 engineering colleges spanning 11 branches were distributed books for the 1st semester under the Books10 Project vision.
• 20 mentors, some localites and some who flew down from other cities gave their brief experience about Point10.
• Approximately 150+ students, alongside 20+ prominent faculty members from various colleges were present for the event.

Overall, Point10's launch was a great success, and the happiness was shared by the most important blessings that we got from parents of those needy students who were delighted to see their young one's overcome a minor yet important obstacle about the books, and move ahead in their respective career.

Before signing off, the entire team of Point10 would like to thank gratefully all those who were able to attend the event (Students, Parents, Delegates), all those who have worked hard behind the screen (Student Volunteers, Coordinators, Mentors), and further would extend our gratitude to the following prominent members of the society for their great support:
Mr. Sushil Handa (Founder - Claris Lifesciences)
Prof. Anil Gupta (IIM-A)
Dr. N V Vasani (Vice Chancellor – Nirma University)
Dr. K Kotecha (Director – Nirma Institute of Technology)
Mr. Hemant Pandey (CMD – Deepak Cements)
Mr. Niraj Lal (Head – SHARDA Trust)
Mr. Shiv Dugal (Founder – ICRI)
Mrs. Vinita Deshmukh (Editor – Intelligent Pune)
Mr. Anantkrishan Gopalkrishnan (Deputy Editor – The Hindu ,Chennai)
Mr. Ajit Kumar (President - The Oceanic Group)

On another note, a special vote of appreciation for the executive team of Point10, namely, Jatin Chaudhary (CEO), Hiren Panchasara (CTO), Jinesh Shah (VP-Business Consulting Group), Parth Shah(VP-Event Management Group) and Samkit Shah(Head of Communications) for putting in a lot of effort to make this event a great success and thus bring Point10 one notch higher on a bigger platform.

And last but never the least, a final vote of thanks to the following people who took out time from their busy schedules and not only graced the occassion but also took out time to say a few words as quoted below:

Mr. Shyam Sharma (VP-HRM, Claris Lifesciences): “During our time we didn’t have mentors, if we had them then we would have gone places. And I don’t know whether Salman Khan’s Dus ka Dum has Dum or not, but this 10 for sure has all the Dum in the world. We will always be with Team Point10.”

Mr. Pradip Jain (Managing Trustee of Vishwa Samwad Education Foundation): “I hope Team Point10 carry on the amazing momentum that they have shown so far to help students.”

Mr. Rawat Basant (Senior Journalist – The Telegraph): “Young people are not supposed to do all these kind of activities, but this is really inspiring to see so many Young People are coming together to help society and provoke others to do so.”

With this words of appreciation and a successful launch of Books10 project through this event, now comes an even more important part for Point10 - to work on other visions including Projects10 and Education10. So stay tuned to our blog for more updates and see your help put to good use.

Recent Updates - July 2009 !

Point10 Solutions Team members have been going through a lot of activities trying to get everything together in one place and keep the vision on track. Long nights, email follow ups, phone calls, working on articles and more importantly trying to reach people and thus promote Point10 requires a lot of pain, dedication and perseverance, and of-course patience to see the fruits of such a hard work ripen and pay off.

(B) NRAI (News Online) Collaboration with Point10 Team

These kind of contributions would serve as a backbone in making the Education10Project of Point10 a reality and to take it forward.

About Point10 Solutions - The Dream !

The world today thrives on education, and with no guarantees in life or for the current economies, knowledge is surely bound to take an individual to higher peaks and greener pastures in some way or the other, down the road. Right from day one when a baby is born, he or she has been churning different aspects of learning and educating their own mind.

A child, just as they grow physically, needs to flourish mentally too. A brain termed as the most amazing creation ever made by God, observes, learns and digests infinite things on a daily basis. If we have been blessed with such facilities to help grow our knowledge and have been given multiple opportunities to make our careers and fulfill our goals, it is a God’s gift and should surely be respected. But have we ever thought about giving something back to the society, to the world where we currently live, to the place which has been gifted to us due to our good Karma? Why not make this world a better place, a land where no one is deprived of their dreams to see themselves up on the top.

There are a certain few amongst us, who in spite of having the necessary acumen and the much needed heart to progress in life and gain success, are forced on a back foot due to certain aspects thus hindering their path towards enlightenment and depriving them of the education and knowledge that we all are a part of.

The youth power that we have in India, can surely stand shoulder to shoulder with the advanced nations of the world and we have heard a lot along these lines from all over the world. In-spite of traveling on the path to achieving great economic success, we still lag behind in certain aspects, Education being the foremost concern for a modern India. A land where a youngster has to drop out of college simply due to lack of funds and proper amenities is a stigma upon the whole country which boasts of premiere multi-million dollars corporate houses and individuals who have made a great mark all around the globe. It is we, who need to take a step forward and stop that young person from dropping out of college simply because he or she cannot afford the books, or lacks proper directions to drive his/her career towards to a certain goal.

· Dr. Abdul Kalam: “The resource of the youth is an important building block for transforming India into a developed nation.”
· Nandan Nilekani (On problems faced by India currently): “I think the lack of education, I think there are a lot of young people who are not getting good schooling. Today the right of education is going to be the key for next 20 years.”
· L K Advani: “Let’s Empower Young India to Build Stronger India.”
· Sonia Gandhi: “If we achieve our objective, many thousands of young men and women will receive the benefits of higher education. They would be in a position to contribute to the development and progress of the country.”

Quality and Affordable Higher Education for Youth is the most important piece of the puzzle towards building a strong Nation.

With this concept, heart and a dream of our own, Point10 comes forward to you, through which, hands can come forward to reach out to such students who in-spite of having the correct number of intelligent cells in their brain, are not able to fulfill their dream of moving forward through college and higher education, either due to lack of books, equipments, facilities or simply lack of support and guidance. Through Point10’s various other mediums, one can surely choose his/her strongest quality and put it to good use to help the needy students.

With this note, we, the team at Point10, hereby call upon all the responsible citizens to come forward and help us, help the students and above all help your own self, to join hand in hand and embark upon a journey of changing how the word Education is referred to in India and thus make a mark, either small or big. Remember, we are just a medium, it is you who needs to be the savior.

Our Visions:

Point10Solutions: The parent portal, bringing together every aspect of a student’s life from Books to Education, from Projects to Jobs. This is the Point10Way of saying that we care.

Books10: A portal to help the needy students procure help and support for their continuing education through books from seniors and other students who are willing to help.

Hard-work, perseverance and dedication does pay off in installations. And one such moment of success came with a major development for Point10Solutions, as we can now move into our new office location on C G Road, after operating from a Cyber Café for 3 months. This would give us a great boost and inspire us even more as it lets us display our efforts and more importantly spread our motto across the community. This would also enable us to be more organized, disciplined in our endeavor and would bring more focus and planning on board.

With this, Point10Solutions, would like to formally invite you all to this event and be a part of our family, our team, our event, our venture but most importantly your dream.
