Business-Smart IT Applications - will cherish this course for years to come!!

I could not resist writing this post at this odd hour. Today(rather y'day), the 18-hour ‘classroom’ course of the ‘Business-Smart IT Applications’ subject came to a close. I have to admit that Dr. Lakshmi Mohan has left a lasting impression on me. Although by chance I happened to sit in the first seat in her classes, I loved every bit of it! – have gained an amazing sense of business over the last week. The best aspects of Dr. Mohan’s classes were:

  • the short and sweet contemporary cases (not the age-old dusty ones)

  • the modulation and constant ‘stress and pause’ on the most crucial bits and pieces(hammering the nail into our heads)

  • the usage of words (will stay etched in memory)

  • the presentation style ( real quotes, no jazzy slides, color codes)

  • the emphasis on ‘precision’ and ‘detail’

  • the connection of all the dots to give the big picture

  • and last but not the least
  • the sense of humor


  • I would like to remember the last one week as the ‘best of classroom learning’ @ SPJIMR; and to quote in Vinaya’s words –
    “Dr.Lakshmi Mohan’s words are like the sayings in the Bible!”
