Guest Profile: The guest, Mr. Sugumar has more than 25 years of experience
in the IT and communications industry. He has been consulting many companies
including British Telecom in the areas of technology and business. He has
graduated from IIT (Madras) and IIM ( Ahmedabad).
On Monday 26th
August, Mr. Sugumar. K came to Oakridge to brief the 9th&10th
Grade (CIE) students about the Indian Telecom Industry. We all assembled in the
MPH and heard from him. He started with giving us an overview about the
Industry. We got to know about many things like India is the 2nd
largest in the telecom industry and soon we might even take over China!
Interesting things were introduced to us like the evolution of the mobile
standards etc. We became aware about the industry revenues as well as about the
debts and the growth of the Indian Telecom Industry. In the second half of our
interaction we understood about the challenges faced by the industry and
discussed the market shares of internet and telecom. Overall this seminar was
enlightening for all of us. The interaction with Sir gave us a chance to learn
Economics/ Business Studies outside a classroom and be more aware about Telecom
Industry. This guest lecture, according to my opinion, could have been more
effective and useful if the entire grade 10
i.e., even those students who did not opt for the two subjects had the
opportunity to attend. Indeed, the experience was very educative and
interesting.
Conclusion: At the end of the lecture, he gave
the students time for questioning and students participated well in the
session. The students thanked the guest for enlightening them with the
practical exposure of the real world.
They presented a large "THANK
YOU" card prepared by a few of the Art students and signed by all the
students.
