The Launch Pad Series is targeted at the students who
are in Professional Institutions, and are getting ready
to take their first step into a career in the corporate
world.
Employers look for a set of skills in the recruit.
Among them, the technical skills are covered extensively
in the institutions. Given any challenge, most of the
students will be able to handle them competently, as
long as they require the technical skills learnt in
their institutions.

In any organization, the top management would always
prefer to have the most competent employees to manage
and lead the organization to higher growth. This is not
just true for the top management posts, but every level
of the organizational hierarchy. Employees are given
promotions to handle higher responsibilities and to take
charge of teams to achieve this growth trajectory, based
on their performance in their existing level.
In majority of such promotions, the promoted employee
moves over from an executive role to a managerial role.
The skill sets, that helped him/her to achieve the
required high performance, suddenly changes, and as a
manager, he/she requires a totally different skill set
to perform in the new role. This is a typical "Hotspot",
where and intervention is required to prepare them for
their new role. They have to be exposed to these new
skill sets, and it has to be done in such a way that
these new promotees can experience how to use these
skills and its effect, in a controlled environment.
The Accelerator Series aims to provide such
interventions in an effective manner, so that these
promotees are able to relate to the situations when they
actually take over the new responsibilities. This series
of Training Programs is focused on Corporate training,
where employees need to be fine-tuned in the areas as
required by the organization.

day till about 12:00 midnight. These programs are
"Out-Bound Training" programs and follow the principles
of "Experiential Learning". The methodology used here
would be Games & Activities, where the learning are
