Speaking about the role, the committee has aimed to play is that of an innovator. So our directive was to bring about changes on campus that could be used for the greater good for all the stakeholders, specifically in the technology domain. Keeping this in mind, we had set forth an initial agenda which is as follows:
1) Turning SPJIMR into a completely non-cash environment
This has remained as our pet project throughout the first 6 months on campus. Converting a campus into a completely cashless ecosystem is no easy task and that has been our biggest target. Coordinating with multiple stakeholders, vendors and admin personnel has brought about a glimpse in to the administrative side of things which is often neglected. As far as the process is concerned, we have recently obtained the permission from the college authorities after a board presentation and are in the process of finalizing the vendor.
2) Come up with a common database for all information, accessible by the entire batch
A repository of sorts, accessed from the cloud where the students can share across information related to academia, competition, committee work, college fests, and much more. Additionally, this can also be transferred down the batches as a rich source of information. This system is already in place using the Google Drive and has been well received by the batch.
3) Organize sessions by industry experts on how technology is changing the face of business
We had invited Mr Arvind Iyengar, the founder CEO of the Sportz Interactive, a firm which deals with digital content management, sports analytics and various other facets of sports management. He delivered a session on how Technology is changing the world of sport, talking about aspects like DRS, ball tracking, hawkeye, hotspot, in stadia fan engagement and much more. This was a thoroughly enjoyable session as most of the batch is keenly interested in every aspect of sport. This is part of our initiative called “TechTalks”.
4) Conduct knowledge transfer sessions for the batch, by the batch
We also plan on conducting sessions by the participants for the rest of the batch about skills that could come in very handy for the B-School journey like presentation making, video making, Photoshop, Aftereffects and various other tools.
5) Improve and maintain the quintessential WiFi services on campus
We also run and manage the campus WiFi in close coordination with the Computer Centre. In doing so, we serve as the first point contact for all WiFi related queries for the batch.
