The much awaited and inspiring “Leadership Development Series 2015 ” had begun in Symbiosis Institute of
Health Sciences. Our esteemed guest
of the day , Mr Aseem Garg ,marked the beginning of this series.
Mr Aseem Garg, CEO and founder of DCDC is an alumni of IIM , Bangalore. He is a
successful entrepreneur , a visionary
and a dynamic leader.
The venue of the lecture was at Vishwabhawan Auditoruim.
A hall was filled with enthusiastic, ambitious students waiting
for the inspiring sessions. The
programme began with our HOD , Col Dr Vijay Deshpande
giving his thoughts on vision driven leadership. He defined vision in as simple
words as “the answer to where do
you see yourself in future”. He emphasized on the fact that it is very
important to know where we want to reach. His short talk was very
powerful and gave us an insight on what the further session would be on.
Next we had our placement head Ms Devika Shetty introducing our esteemed guest and inviting
him to the Dias. The much humble and smiling
, Mr Aseem Garg addressed us on entrepreneurship. In simple
words it refers to taking up an idea, developing a concept around it and
starting a business. It is the journey to unknown. Inspite of belonging to a business
background, Mr Aseem resisted all the pressure to join the family business. His
zeal to do something different landed him in engineering and then an MBA in IIM
, Bangalore. The passion in him prevented
him from taking up a high paying bank job which most of his peers would have
preferred. He had already developed a business plan. Though he was not very
sure of the journey, his destination was decided. He wanted to start a chain of
dialysis centers which was by then a very new concept in India.
In spite of all the discouragement he received from his peers, he still
believed in his idea. As rightly said “where
there is a will, there is a way”. He managed
to get a job at National Kidney Foundation, which was by then nurturing a chain
of dialysis centers. After that there was no looking back for him. Hard work,
determination and the zeal to achieve has made him reach the position he
rightly and proudly holds now. His brainchild DCDC , now successful 68 centers
and is venturing with pace to its 100th one.
The lesson of life that Mr Aseem Garg shared
had so much to learn from. He made us realize that not everything in the universe can be
controlled by us. Life is not only to those who are gifted. He explained it beautifully by giving example
of Karana and Arjun from Mahabharata. As rightly explained by him “life is a
race, some ahead of us and some behind us .All we need to do is catching up
with the guy ahead of us and making sure that we are ahead of the people behind
us. He made us realize how important it is to have a vision .If we have a
vision and the passion to fulfill it, no one can stop us from achieving
it. The session ended with Ms Devika Shetty’s
quote “Be the change you wish to
see in the world”.
On the whole it was a very enriching and inspiring
session. At the end of the session we were all motivated to realize our passion
in life . We never know what we are capable of as long as we try. Success only
comes to those who dared to dream. The future is uncertain, but it is
full of hopes and opportunities. As Paulo Coelho rightly said “When you really
want something in life , the entire
universe will help you in conspiring it”
And this indeed was true for Mr Aseem Garg
