Chandrayaan 2 - The Strengthening of India As A Space Power

As quoted by Norman Vincent Peale - “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.” What this means is that if you're aiming for something and even if you don't achieve it, you'll still be somewhere better than where you started. But this quote doesn’t seem to hold any meaning for Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). They aimed for the moon yet again and have launched Chandrayaan-2 successfully even after technical snags just about an hour ahead of the launch in the early hours of its initial launch on 15th July, 19. The snag had been noticed while fueling the rocket with cryogenic fuel at T-56 minute and the countdown had been frozen at 56:24.

Bursting The Valuation Bubble And Creating A Real Startup Ecosystem | #MBAIITKanpur

Entrepreneurship is a massively growing field in India. Unfortunately, the current Indian startup ecosystem is primarily focused on increasing startup valuation and creating unicorns. The success of a startup is merely equated to its valuation. As a consequence of this trend, young startups are resorting to shortcuts for quick growth and success.

Yesterday’s Dystopia, Today's Reality! | #MBAIITKanpur

George Orwell wrote a dystopian novel named 1984 that was published in the year 1949. The book received much criticism for a negative backdrop, disturbing theme of what would happen if the world fell into wrong hands. Critics were not happy with the dark theme of life in the totalitarian regime. But who knew how close humanity can get to nightmares of the past.

FaceApp - The New Sensation | #MBAIITKanpur

It was just any other morning when I woke up, and like all the other people the first thing that I got onto was on my mobile. But today was different, there among the headlines were faces. Old faces, young faces, altered and weird faces. There is this app called FaceApp which was the latest viral trend. Turns out to be another of the Web’s many storm-in-teacup moments.

Unlearning To Learn - A Life Event | Saurabh Kumar, MBA IIT Kanpur

A dictionary definition of unlearning is "to remove from one's knowledge or memory". Another way to think about unlearning is to get away from something - to let go - and not hold on to it.
