Good news from MinervaX

No one will make the changes needed in the agro sector but you and me - us. #Change starts with one person with an idea, different from the norm. The person shares his idea with another. They develop the idea and share it with others. Like a baby, the idea grows and develops as more people join the journey. Now the idea belongs to a crowd, which brings it to life and changes reality. A change begins with One. Be the One or follow One. Follow me (Dr. Nimrod Israely) and attend the IBMA Conference 2024 to share young, future, and old ideas that together with friends can belong to a crowd that changes reality.

On February 10th, 2024, I had the privilege to attend Anuvartan 1.0, a groundbreaking program organized by the Agro-Marketing Club at our college. The event brought together industry leaders whose insights inspired and empowered me. Here's a glimpse into the invaluable wisdom they shared → Embrace discomfort and learn fearlessly from smaller organizations. → Understand generational behaviors and prioritize emotional stability,communication, and resilience. → Recognize corporate expectations, emphasizing hard work, confidence, and continuous learning. Distinguish between causing results and achieving results through deliberate, goal-directed action. → Cultivate essential qualities including patience, teamwork, and effective time management. → Keep life simple and follow your passions. These insights have not only enriched my understanding but also motivated me to strive for excellence in all aspects of life. First and foremost, I extend my heartfelt thanks to SAURABH PANDEY ( he/him) sir, for giving us the opportunity to participate in this enriching event. Additionally, I express my gratitude to the Agro-Marketing Club - ISAB for their dedication and efforts in making the program a great success. As I reflect on the learnings from Anuvartan 1.0, I am excited to embark on my journey, armed with invaluable lessons and a renewed sense of purpose. Here's to embracing growth, seizing opportunities, and making a meaningful impact in the world! #Anuvartan 1.0 #Gratitude #ISAB
