Getting Tech Savvy….

By Kushal Chakraborty

As they say its never too late and especially when its about doing something productive and for the good. A new beginning of sorts for both myself and Innocentive, Me because I myself am pretty new to the concept of blogging and for Innocentive because this is really the first time that Innocentive is actually getting itself inducted into the WORLD WIDE WEB in the real sense..!!

Well its such an irony that just when I decided to start writing my mind on this medium it would actually also mark the beginning of a new era for Innocentive in this very medium..

Right from its inception in November 2007 till date Innocentive, the Entrepreneurship Cell of ISBR,Bangalore has only grown from strength to strength. Despite being the cell of a very infant institute Team Innocentive has proved time and again that we are no lesser than any other well established cell. Being the “National Champions” once and winning the “Championship Roll Of Honor” for the other two years for “E-Week- India” has only cemented the fact that Innocentive is a force to reckon with…

However in all of this there was always something missing….. So when the Innocentive think tank sat and started to brainstorm we felt that despite all the success that we had achieved we had not done enough to make ourselves known to the rest of the world. Thus we decided that it was high time that Innocentive found its right share of publicity in one of the most powerful medium of out times – THE INTERNET…So it all started with a very simple idea of creating a blog and also creating communities in popular social networking sites ……..However the hunger for something more which is so very common among the bright warriors of Team Innocentive led us to create that something more which took the shape of a website…!!!.....So Innocentive plunged into the big world of internet with a Blog , Social Networking communities and an exclusive Website under its belt…though much more work is left in the site and it is only in the basic stage…

So TADAAA…….!!!!

Ladies and Gentleman,

18th October,2010 – The day finally comes when Innocentive announces its arrival in the Internet . The official launching event had the presence of Mr. Sunil Sarangi ,NEN Consultant, Bangalore and Dr. K.S. Anandaram ,Director,ISBR Bangalore. The Blog and the Website was officially launched by Mr. Sunil in the presence of all the E-cell members and the junior PGDM batch of ISBR. A very proud moment for all the team member also came when our beloved Director sir lauded us for taking the initiative for starting something like this. His encouragement to do more good work certainly gave the team some more boost to done even better things.

Mr. Sunil also showered a lot of praises on. He was very excited and humbled to be invited for the event and one moment during his interaction which definitely brought a smile in everyone’s face was when he mentioned that many of the initiatives that we had started in our cell has not even taken place somewhere like            IIM-B!!!!......A very big thing to say and I would again take this opportunity to thank Mr. Sunil who has always been a constant support for us from NEN’s side and I am sure he will provide us with the same sort of support in the future as well……

The occasion also gave us an opportunity to introduce the new members of Team Innocentive and Mr. Sunil was more than happy to meet and interact with them….. A proud moment for the senior team as well because some time later the baton would be passed onto them to carry the legacy of Innocentive forward…

So a great end to a great day for a great occasion….!!!

The job does not end here though……In fact it just got started.

There is a lot more in store in the days ahead ……..so till then keep your sights on this space…..
