The webinar started off with an introduction of the speaker, Mr. Vinay Korlepara and a welcome speech following which the speaker introduced himself. His ice-breaking concept of asking the students ‘How was your day?’ followed by ‘What is career to you?’ initiated the interaction. Students responded with various unique answers and discussed what career means to them. He used a mind map to demonstrate how future planning should be done. Next, he presented a complete track of his career journey which included his experiences from 2003 to his expectations up to 2041. He shared what he learnt in his different stages of life. Then he spoke about robotics and compared the human body to a mysterious black box and mentioned the numerous companies that are researching every single part of the body. Following this was a questionnaire session where he addressed different doubts of students about career and higher education. He advised everyone to follow professors from different universities and to plan for master’s at least 8-10 months ahead. He motivated everyone to follow their interests and spoke about developing fields in India. The session concluded with the presentation of a virtual memento to the speaker.
