AKASH GAUTAM TEACHES ALLAHABAD TO ‘BINDAAS BOL’

Date 19 Feb 2012. Time 10:30 a.m. Venue: Hotel Kanha Shyam.

A cyclone named ‘Akash Gautam’ hits Allahabad. After almost 3 hours the storm abates but not the after effects.

If that read like a weather report, rest easy, we are talking about the phenomena called Akash who mesmerized Allahabad on the above mentioned date. About 1200 footfalls comprising of students, intelligentsia, glitterati, paparazzi and the entire Career Launcher Allahabad staff were held captive to a masterly display in the art of communication skills by one India’s finest trainers, motivators and coaches, namely Akash Gautam.

In his inimitable style (many feel that he should apply for a patent!), he spoke at length on the art of communicating with all kinds of people. He advised that we should speak less and listen more. He gave valuable tips on voice modulation, on the importance of exhibiting energy and a positive body language. Smiling was a topic that he revisited several times during his presentation. Tips on the Personal Interview which proves to be many a student’s bugbear, included the advice of “Show – don’t tell” – show value. He stressed on the importance of courtesy and propriety in behavior. Everyone who has met Akash earlier knows about his sense of humor which borders on the wacky at one end and raunchy on the other. Therefore it came as no surprise when he advised the assembled populace to develop a sixth sense, the sense of ‘humor’. He also emphasized on speaking with spontaneity and fearlessness.

The most sagely advise that he proffered was that we should communicate with our parents. We should listen to them, talk to them with empathy. He recalled the sense of fulfillment that he got when he took his own mother for a ‘date’. He decried the practice of complaining all the time. “Face your problems, not Facebook them” was another of his ‘Akashisms’. The one slogan that was probably a big take away for the audience was that “Happy people are more successful”. Akash ended the seminar with the amazing one liner that “vDy Bksdjsa [kkus ls vkrh gS cnke [kkus ls ugha

All in all, the seminar was received enthusiastically by the audience who had come with great expectations and went back without their hopes belied. The Director Mr. Gaurav Agrawal in his welcome speech recounted the history of Career Launcher Allahabad and emphasized that CLA was the only institution in Allahabad that organized so many similar events where entry was completely free for the benefit of the Allahabad people at large. A number of significant Academic luminaries like Dr. Tripti Singh, Senior Faculty MNNIT, Dr. Vaibhav Singh, noted Commerce faculty and Mr. Gaurav Gulati, Director United Group of Institutions were felicitated with special ‘Bindaas Bol’ mementos. Mr. Vishal Gulati, the Joint Director proposed a vote of thanks.The entire event was conducted by Ajoy under the overall management of Shashank Somvanshi, Centre Head CLA. Abhishek Singh, Ayushi, Abhishek Mathur and Devendra Mishra provided valuable back end support.



CREST-2012

MBA ENTRANCE (CAT) RECORD BREAKERS OF CAREER LAUNCHER ALLAHABAD FELICITATED AT GLITTERING CEREMONY

Career Launcher Allahabad organized on 9th Feb 2012, a glittering felicitation function for its batch of 2011 CAT takers, who converted their calls to the most prestigious Business Schools of India. The Hotel Milan Palace, the venue for the event wore a festive look as the entire Career Launcher staff, members of the press & media were out in strength to welcome the honored guests, in this case the 25 odd students who had lived up to the credo of ‘neighbours envy and owners’ pride’.

The Joint Director of Career Launcher Allahabad, Mr. Vishal Gulati gave a brief outline of the Career Launcher success story through the last decade. The consistent results year after year with more than 300 IIM call getters in the last 10 years and many more from other esteemed B-Schools of the country were a proof that this year’s result was no flash in the pan. That this is no idle boast is further proved by the fact that no other MBA Entrance Training Institute in Allahabad has even mentioned its call getters.

All the above mentioned students were felicitated with a unique memento by the Chief Guest Prof. G.K. Rai, Director IPS (University Of Allahabad). He is Professor & Former Head, Department of Ancient History, Culture & Archeology, University of Allahabad. As a professor of Ancient History, he initiated on pioneering joint project with the IIT Kanpur on “Application of Digital Technology for the study and Preservation of Archeological Heritage” since 2003. As a member of Academic Senate of IIT Kanpur, he helped in creation of Centre for Archeological Sciences and Technology. He is also member of AICTE Team for Nationally Coordinated project on “Technology & Archeology”. He is member of several National Committees.

The Director, Mr. Gaurav Agarwal congratulated the students and wished them success in their future.

The students on their part thanked CL and their mentors especially Shashank Sir, Sanjeev Sir, Abhishek Singh Sir, Prabhat Sir,and Ajoy Sir who played a big role in their success. They were also grateful for the support provided by Ayushi Ma’am and Devendra Sir.

The reason for such stupendous results is easy to understand. The high quality and extensive study material, the standardized coaching pedagogy and the personalized mentorship by the trainers combined to produce such results.

Career Launcher has carved a niche for itself in the field of MBA coaching and the results of the last few years bear testimony to this fact. It proves that last year’s performance by students from Career Launcher was no fluke. Years of consistently providing top results in MBA entrance, has given not only us, but also the students who enroll with us a quiet confidence to prepare not only for the written exam and subsequent GDPI but also for the larger battle in the life ahead.

The entire function was conducted by Ajoy.
