Dear students, Cheer up!!

I think that it is the right time to practise this amidst the uncertain surroundings we all are facing today due to the pandemic of Covid-19.This pandemic has caught us unaware while we all are at different stages of our lives. So, I thought of having a word with the youth, keeping in mind my students of IndSearch BMS and MBA.

This crisis has brought along a lot of questions, difficulties, and challenges for each one of us, no matter how different. One common problem that we all are facing is the uncertainty about where our lives will be at after a month or two.

Young people across the world are experiencing anxiety regarding their education and career due to the sudden indefinite global standstill. Most of them have specific plans and goals in regards to their graduation and higher studies. They also have a certain career path in their mind that they are hoping for. As most industries are facing monetary losses due to the lockdown, it is obvious that recruitment of new employees will be put on hold.

While we all are waiting for things to settle down, it is difficult for us to experience a sense of satisfaction, security and self-confidence. We need to remember thatit’s okay not to be okay sometimes. We should have each other’s back and keep in mind that we are all in this together.

Let us focus on a day at a time and try to unwind and unlock during this lockdown. In these times, let us remember that it is vital to take care of our own body and mind. Daily exercise and meditation would definitely contribute to your physical as well as mental health. This is the time to may be learn a new language or an instrument or read books and watch documentaries that you haven’t been able to so far.Let us also make use of the innovative methods of e-learning and working being developed by educational institutions and offices.

Dear students, Lets accept it, Change the habits for better tomorrow, Draw boundaries around consumption of news and information, Practice mindfulness and let’s get over this anxiety.

Ending here by another quote from ‘The Secret’….

Everything is going to be so good soon. Believe it. Speak it. Trust it. Affirm it.

Academics and Corona

         Dr. Suwarna Shidore       Faculty – IndSearch       23rd April 2020 It’s the beginning of April, 2020. Almost a month before, in March 2020, the arrival of the Novel Coronavirus in India disrupted the normal lifestyle of all the people in the country regardless of their power and position. Only essential services are exception to this case as per the Government Order in this horrible situation in India. Isolation is the ONLY solution to fight against this global enemy in the form of a virus. Traditionally the months of March and April are very crucial in MBA teaching institutions as teachers are trying to complete syllabus and students are getting ready for submissions and preparing for Mid term and Final examinations. But 2020 picture is exceptional and unique due to the pandemic…There is a fear…there is an uncertainty….everyone is worried and trying to maintain social distancing….people are opting to work from home, schoo...

Few thoughts on aspects of economy in a situation of global pandemic

         Prof. Amey Tawde       Faculty, IndSearch       8th May 2020 Covid 19 has not just infected patients but the entire world economy at large. So much so that just thinking about what can be the scenario in the near future made the German finance minster commit  suicide. This defines the gravity of the situation even after keeping in mind that Germany is most economically and politically stable country of Europe particularly after Brexit incident. As the paramedical staff is working on the frontline to save lives, This pandemic has taken economic experts across the world back to their drawing boards  for discussing and designing strategies to kick start this near halted economic engine.  Now to start an engine one can make use of two techniques, cold start and warm start technique. If a car is standing still for a longer period of time there are high chances of battery getting discharged. So one needs to first c...

         Prof. Nilaya Murthy       Faculty, IndSearch       23rd April 2020 With a message that ‘Charity begins at home’ – Our Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Ram Nath Kovind, Vice-President, Cabinet Ministers, Governors of all states and all Members of Parliament will take 30% pay cuts for a year and contribute to combat this Corona crisis and menace by signalling to all classes be it rich or economically backward that our aim is to emerge victorious in this grand fight against the pandemic. So folks, till when do we have to wait for the storm to pass or are we blinded by the adage- This too shall pass! Well, being positive is what we need in difficult times, but is our economy responding the way we wish it to? The Covid 19 has given us enough of reasons that economy is slowing down if not sinking altogether. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has stated that the economic uncertainty related to coronavirus is ...
