The Chronicles of IITD: Enactus India's Training Session

‘There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.’ Nelson Mandela (1918-2013), the mere mention of the name acts as a  source of motivation for those who believe that change can only be envisioned by the eyes that wish to see it.

The concept of Enactus has helped inspire the likes of many budding students who decide to go ahead to take up social entrepreneurship as their career objective.

A mentorship session was organised by Enactus India at IIT Delhi on 18th January to elevate Enactus teams from across the country by making them understand the importance of imbibing the true qualities of a leader. Enactus SRCC was well represented by a strong 15 member contingent.

The event kicked off with a motivating speech by Ms. Preet Dhupar, who is the Chief Operating Officer of BBC India and also a respectable theatre personality. Her awe-inspiring words left an indelible mark on the minds of the students. She gave anecdotes from her life that made us realise how important it is to embrace the attributes of a leader with all humility.

Ms. Shuchi  Soin, Program Manager, Enactus India - North, talked to the students in the ice-breaking session. She also advised them  on how to prepare for the Enactus India Nationals to be held on the 25th and 26th of June. Students were informed about all the necessary documentation that they would be required to submit during the course of the entire competition.


Subsequently, we were divided into teams and made to solve a case study based on the reputable project presented by the University of Munich, the One Dollar Glass. This project won the Enactus World Cup  held in the previous year. It was interesting to view how teenagers can use the positive power of entrepreneurial action to bring about change.

This was followed by Mr. D.P. Jolly, HR Head, Coca-Cola talking about the myriad experiences and challenges he had encountered in his career so far. Students took part in the discussion actively. It helped them understand how a big giant like Coca-Cola manages to maintain and see growth in consumer loyalty through the years.

The event also provided an interface to various Enactus team to exchange ideas and insights. Enactus teams from across the country would look forward to facing healthy competition in the coming months.
