Ushering the next era- innovation, leadership & entrepreneurship
2022-04-08 17:00 - 18:30
Once upon a time “Kodak” (Kodak Croma was the leader in camera manufacturing) said – “I am the leader!!! No digitalization can impact me. I am too big and powerful for anyone and anything to be replaced!!!!…. I am invincible!”. Today “Kodak Croma” has become a fossil. The new generation is not even aware of the name.
Every innovation is the beginning of a new era. It also ushers a million changes that will have a radical impact on all aspects of life. Therefore, it is inevitable to keep abreast of all the latest happenings in the changing times as every new change opens a new world of opportunities. Unless the present generation is equipped to embrace the heralding revolution, they are locked out of infinite avenues that will lead them to a brand-new life.
The Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovation is organising an induction programme ‘Ushering the Next Era- Innovation, Leadership & Entrepreneurship’ for the students of SRM University- AP on various initiatives and activities on leadership and entrepreneurship. The programme intends to give a brief overview of the contemporary innovations in the business landscape and facilitate them to transform in tune with the recent developments. They are also given an opportunity to meet some of the budding entrepreneurs in the field to derive inspiration and orient themselves accordingly. Grab every opportunity that comes your way and transform yourselves into the leaders of tomorrow.

Every day is a chance to learn and unlearn things. The higher the curiosity to know more, the deeper your roots in a hopeful life. Productive utilization of knowledge has always been the key to success. Finding the application levels of the knowledge you gained and reflecting on yourself makes a huge difference from passive learning.

Mr. Himanshu and the team will be presenting an exciting talk about the scope, future, and value of Research papers in your career and life.

Igniting the innovative spirit
2022-05-10 17:30 - 18:30
“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible”- Arthur C Clarke
The indomitable spirit to give birth to the impossible is the magical force that keeps changing the face of the world. Every innovation, be it in the field of technology, medicine, or entrepreneurship, has paved the way for colossal changes simplifying life on earth. The sheer ability to think and innovate is what made human beings the ruling power. All the amenities and services that we revel in today would not have come into existence without the power to innovate.
As the world is surging ahead with far-reaching developments at an unimaginable pace, there is no question about equipping society to embrace these changes and equally be an unflinching source instigating such changes. Learning in the present era is beyond the ability to read, write and pass with flying colours. True learning does not take place without igniting the spark of creativity hidden inside every individual. The Entrepreneurship Cell has scheduled the launch of their latest endeavour “Innovation Square” to put on show the unrelenting power of innovation of our students.
Date: May 10, 2022
Time: 05.30 pm
Venue: Tiered Classroom

Find your way to a sense of purpose
2022-07-27 19:00 - 20:00
Ever wanted to live resolutely? Felt the need to be aware of where and why are you going and what are your intentions?
Dreams that foster a sense of purpose can potentially change the trajectory of an individual’s life. Finding meaning in life is one of the fundamental human needs. But for most people, finding a purpose is not apparent. The modern world tends to distract people from their actual goals and let them be pretentious about something which is not.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate but powerful beyond measure. We are unaware of how to hold and direct our own light that it tends to frighten us more than our darkness. The secret to the meaning of life lies in recognising the true goals and aligning everything in life around that.
The Department of Entrepreneurship and Innovation is conducting a 45-minute workshop on How to fix progressive goals in life to give a glimpse of how powerful a simple act of discovering your purpose of life could be. This will be a demo session and is open to all. Post that, only 10 students will be taken for a coaching of 30 days impact programme, where mentors will be closely working with the ten individuals to create the change and become instrumental in the expected transformation. Students will be filtered for the 30 days impact programme through interviews and one-to-one interaction.
Date: July 27, 2022
Time: 7 pm to 8 pm IST
Join the session to pave your way to a sense of purpose.

Patent Maker: instigating promising patents for a technology-driven India
2022-08-18 19:00 - 19:45
Innovation is crucial to the development and deployment of technologies. Patents stimulate technological innovations by providing an incentive for research and development. They disperse technical information and facilitate technology transfer. Hatchlab Research Centre unveils the concept of Patent Maker to give breath to the projects and patents that deserves a high commercial application. Professor G S Vinod Kumar, an expert, mentor, and multidimensional professional, will guide the workshop by sharing his valuable wisdom in the domain of innovation and leadership.
Date: August 18, 2022
Time: 7.00 pm to 7.45 pm
The life cycle of technologies runs through invention, research, development, dissemination, market development, and commercial diffusion. The various processes happening at each of these stages provide numerous opportunities to employ instruments that promote innovation.
However, the journey of a perfect project or patent is quite challenging and time-taking. So much hard work goes down in creating one good project or filing one patent. But the irony is that roughly only around 3% of the patents are being commercialised. Their impact is not reaching where they are supposed to, as they are unable to deliver greater benefit to society at application levels. Promising projects and patents are literally national assets. A little alignment of the priced asset with the industry can turn most of the brilliant work into something of high commercial value, which could be a boon for the entire economy.
About the Speaker
Professor G S Vinod Kumar did his PhD from IIT Kharagpur and post-doctoral research at Helmholtz centre Berlin for materials and energy, Germany. He has vast research experience in metallurgy and materials engineering about 16 years, in the field of non-ferrous alloys and precious metals. He currently handles sponsored research projects from industries such as Titan Company Ltd, (Tanishq), WHP-Sons, Maharashtra, Jewel Craft Ltd, and Chennai in gold and Silver alloys for jewellery manufacturing. He also handles consultancy projects from INDSAT corporation, Chennai in die-cast aluminium alloys. He has 40 research publications, 13 patents and 2 technology transfers to industry (Titan). Some of his technologies are currently in the market as products. He has recently filed a patent jointly with Titan Company Ltd, which is the first time in the history of TATA.
Join the session to learn the entire process, challenges, and scopes of patents.
