I get into my start struck mode whenever I talk to an entrepreneur who have created a business or an enterprise and have seen it growing over the years.
I have been working in the field of Training and Education for the last few years and can still consider myself as a baby in the field. I have however come across quite a few people who have created a mark in the industry with their out of the box thinking.
Vikas Joshi of Harbinger Group is one such individual. Mr. Joshi is the founder of the Pune based company called Harbinger. This company is the creator of tools like Raptivity and Yawnbuster among others. These tools are innovations which have sprouted up from the Indian soil and hence make me proud. I have the good fortune of collaborating with Vikas and team on another interesting Harbinger product called Teemingpod.
Talking about innovation in Learning brings to mind another Indian company called Emantras. The website of this company itself gives you the feel that its alive and thinking. I have heard about the vision of this company from the big man, Seshkumar, who is the creator of this very young company. Emantras is touching new heights in M- learning and K12. They are into Game based learning and Virtual Learning Environments among others.
So when I think about my experience of falling just in front of a battery car inside Infosys and looking up to see Narayan Murthy’s humble smiling face, I also remember visionaries like Vikas and Sesh among others who may not have created a massive company like Infosys but have contributed in an wholesome manner to innovation. Innovation which remains a hallmark in the success of an enterprise.
