A Seminar in H.R.

 Our students pull off interesting things even in these times of the Corona Pandemic. One such event was an online HR Symposium, organised by Hriday, the HR Club of NMIMS Bangalore. We did manage to rope in interesting panelists for answering questions. Coming from three very different industries.

It's not easy to manage when everyone is in a different place physically, including the speakers. Went off quite well, and the answers pertaining to various aspects of Human Resource management were insightful. The enthusiasm of the students was infectious, and some speakers stayed beyond their committed time, sportingly.

Rhea was very good as the Moderator, and handled the tough job of asking questions, and rotating them among the panelists with aplomb. Great job! Of course, there was a team at the back end as well. Some pics from the online event-
