Speaking at Biovision-Kerala-International Biotechnology Conference

I have been to many colleges as a speaker on Entrepreneurship.Here I got an altogether different experience as this was my first academic conference as an invited speaker and judge for poster presentation.

The special feature was that the convener and the faculties are my readers at Biotechnologist2020.com through which they get connected to me..

I got to meet many other faculties from other colleges from Kerala and Karnataka who are also the readers of BT2020...It was a great moment to hear them that they read BT2020 regularly..

Sahrdya College of Engineering and Technology at Thrisur organised this International conference on Industrial Biotechnology on 15-17 November 2008..The campus is green... really awesome ...The faculties and the students here are very supportive,ambitious and helping..

I need to mention Dr.Satheesh who was the convener of the event who helped me to get my air tickets sponsered..He is now working as the guest faculty at Libiyan University..We used to chat many times over Gtalk..He used to tell me that he is worried with the trend that many of his brilliant B.Tech students from the department used to jump to IT/ ITes sector during campus interview as it gives more pay leaving Biotechnology behind ..He always want to motivate his students to persue higher education and research in this field.He wanted to show them various opportunities available in higher education and entrepreneurship.

So I got an opportunity to talk on "Carrer opportunities in BT and Bio-entrepreneurship" at the end of which I got invitations from few other nearby colleges in Kerala and ofcourse in Libiya...I have no words to express my gratidude to Dr.Satheesh for his support and encouragement..It is a fact that I had no faculties like him during my college days..

I gave my best in preparing my talk with many case studies, mulitimedia, sample business plans and other interesting facts which I have been learning right from my undergraduation on Entrepreneurship..I am also checking out the possibilties of forming an entrepreneurship club with many regular activities like B-plan competition, workshops and invites lectures..I need to see to that after returning to Chennai..

Here is a picture taken with some of our readers(organising students) at Biovision..I will upload more pictures and write about my experiences at Biovision in detail soon..
