NIFTA Industry Mentor series session conducted at the Delhi Campus

The NIFTA Industry Mentor Series was launched in April, just before the students entered placement season. The Delhi chapter took the lead in this, and the proposal is to continue with weekly sessions conducted by NIFTA members in the various campuses once the next academic session starts in 2019.
This session was attended by around 20 students and a few of NIFT's faculty. The mentors for this session were Manish Tribhuwan (GMT 1995-97, Kolkata) and Brajesh Rawat (GMT 2000-2002, Gandhinagar). The discussions covered a range of subjects including industry expertise, the industry's expectations, new opportunities in the industry from online to AI-aided fashion, internships, design-based thinking and sensibilities as well as life skills. The students gained a lot of insight on practical experience of in-the-field issues and day-to-day issues in business. The students were also guided by mentors on their internships, job preferences, and many other aspects through a highly interactive Q&A Session.
