On Friday morning, we had a guest session with two speakers: Dr. Venkat Srinivasan and Mr. Sanjay Gupta. Their session's main takeaways were do what you like to do, trust your gut and then "make your luck". Venkat is the founder of several companies including English Helper, Rage Frameworks, Brightleaf Corporation, Corporate Fundamentals, and eCredit. Mr. Sanajay Gupta is currently the CEO Global at English Helper. He has had a long stint at American Express, where he served in several leadership positions. He has also held senior positions at Motorola and Pepsico in India. Currently, he also serves as Director of Bharti AXA Investment Managers Pvt. Ltd., School of Inspired Leadership (SOIL), and other companies. He is on the Advisory Boards of organizations including Schneider Electric India and Acumen Fund. Sanjay is deeply committed to the development sector and is a Trustee at Charities Aid Foundation (India), Udayan Care, and Mobile Creches. Sanjay is guest faculty at Duke Corporate Education.

It was very interesting to know about Dr. Srinivasan's journey from a school in Delhi run by Delhi Tamil Association to University of Cincinnati and then from an academician to an entrepreneur.
