🌟 From Cold Email to Full-Time Dream Job in 2 Weeks! 🌟 Meet my colleague from AIESEC in India, Shreyansh! 💼 Just a couple of weeks ago, he decided to seize an opportunity by crafting a well-thought-out cold email to Varun Mayya. Little did we know that this simple outreach would lead to an extraordinary journey! Varun responded, and what followed was a game-changing conversation that landed Shreyansh a two-week gig at the heart of the action – the Founder's Office. 🎯 It was an immersive experience that blended real-time work and interview-like interactions. 🤝 jump to the present, and Shreyansh's dedication, passion, and skills have paved the way for something truly special. He's proudly transitioned into a full-time role, proving that a well-crafted email and genuine determination can open doors you never thought possible. This story isn't just about Shreyansh's achievement – it's a testament to the possibilities that lie in those bold steps outside of your comfort zone. So, here's to embracing the unexpected, crafting meaningful connections, and turning them into opportunities that shape your journey, to Shreyansh for his initiative and to Varun for his willingness to spot talent in the most unexpected places. 🙌 #SuccessStory #ColdEmailMagic #TurningOpportunityIntoReality

My new adventure starts at BRP as a Supplier Quality Specialist.

Lohith says that he "finally" gathered the courage to post about his new position at DataWars. But let me tell you more about how we met, and you'll see how courageous he's been, and how important is to push for what you love. I first became acquainted with Lohith in our nascent DataWars' Discord Server. At the beginning, it was me answering most of the questions from users, but one day this guy came with a weird Ironman profile picture helping other users in a random server. We didn't know each other, we didn't pay him, anything. He just saw a question and helped. First show of courage. A few weeks in, after answering questions here and there, he started asking his own questions. But they were nothing like simple Python/Pandas questions, he was asking about the mathematical derivation of the Bias–variance tradeoff 😳. He was taking a course about Machine Learning, and he was digging even deeper by his own means into topics that were not covered. Second show of courage. A few months ago, he randomly emailed me with an idea of building a project for DataWars. We didn't post a search or anything like that. He initiated the contact. We obviously were extremely happy to count with him in our team. Third show of courage. Lohith is a great example of how working hard and pushing for what you like will do for you. I have gotten several important deals in my life by just cold-emailing someone and being honest about how we could collaborate. Worst thing that can happen? They don't reply. So keep pushing, keep asking for what you want, and keep building connections. I hope Lohith's courage serves as a motivator.

Shubham Kamble, batch of '25, commenced his summer internship at Landstack - Center for Land! This internship provides Shubham with an exceptional opportunity to engage in crucial research and fieldwork focused on land administration and its socio-economic impacts. As a Research Intern at Landstack, Shubham's responsibilities are diverse and impactful. He will conduct a comprehensive literature review to gather relevant research and information on land administration, technology implementation, and their socio-economic implications. This foundational work will set the stage for his field activities. Shubham will conduct fieldwork in the states of Odisha, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, India, to gather primary data related to land administration schemes. His work will involve both quantitative and qualitative data analysis to identify trends and insights, contributing to a deeper understanding of the current land administration landscape. In collaboration with his team, Shubham will synthesize findings and contribute to research reports and presentations, ensuring that the insights gained are effectively communicated to inform policy and practice. Landstack - Center for Land focuses on the interfaces between technology and land administration, unraveling ground processes and impacts for more informed policy and practice. Land administration involves managing textual and spatial records detailing rights and territorial extents. Each nation faces unique challenges in land administration, shaped by history, social norms, demography, topography, and land use. While technology offers promising solutions, the project aims to highlight the nuanced aspects of technology in land administration, especially in the global south and India. Implementing technology in Indian land administration faces challenges, with limited regions surveyed and few states possessing updated land records. India's diverse land tenure systems add complexity, compounded by historical administrative legacies and various tenure systems. Shubham's project focuses on evaluating the implementation of key land administration schemes, namely DILRMP, SVAMITVA, OLRSD, and FRA, in the states of Odisha, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, India. We , Regulatory Policy & Governance - TISS Mumbai, wish him success in his research endeavors! #InternshipJourney #Landstack #CentreForLand #LandAdministration #TechnologyInLandManagement #ResearchInternship #DILRMP #SVAMITVA #OLRSD #FRA #SustainableDevelopment #FutureLeaders #TISS #TISSMumbai Tata Institute of Social Sciences School of Habitat Studies, TISS Mumbai Environment , Climate Change and Sustainability Studies - Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai Urban Policy and Governance - TISS, Mumbai Centre for Water Policy and Governance

This story is a powerful reminder of how mentoring can positively impact someone's life and career journey. By sharing our experiences and wisdom with others, we create opportunities that were once out of reach. Mentoring is a gift that benefits both the mentor, who finds fulfillment in guiding another, and the mentee, who gains invaluable insights to navigate their path successfully. Teri Cannon's story beautifully illustrates how a caring mentor can change a person's trajectory in ways that we may never fully realize. Let this inspire all of us to pay it forward by nurturing the next generation of leaders and changemakers. You never know the ripple effect your investment in someone could create. #people #mentoring #leadership
