Prof. KR Chandrakala conducted a dynamic activity titled Grow with Present. This session aimed to challenge students to explore various perspectives and enhance their understanding of the contemporary business environment. By critically analysing current news and trends, participants aimed to enrich their value to potential employers and ultimately increase their earning capacity and job prospects.

The primary objective of the activity was to encourage students to think critically about current events and their implications. By examining different angles of significant news items, students were urged to form their own opinions, thus nurturing a habit of critical analysis. Additionally, the activity aimed to bolster students understanding of the corporate landscape, enhancing their skills and value to employers. This strategic approach not only aims to enrich their learning experience but also positions them favourably in the job market, opening doors to their desired career paths.

The methodology employed during the session was both engaging and collaborative. Students were divided into groups, each led by a designated team leader. Each group was tasked with analysing news relevant to the industries of their interest, employing a PESTLE framework—Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental—to identify news items that could significantly impact their chosen fields.

The first step involved selecting news articles pertinent to their industry sectors. Following this, groups scanned newspapers and media outlets to pinpoint news items that fell under the PESTLE categories. This analytical process not only heightened awareness of current events but also encouraged students to consider their broader implications. Once the news items were identified, each group was instructed to select the top five articles that resonated most with them. This step was crucial, as it encouraged students to think critically about why certain news stories stood out and what made them worthy of further exploration. The final task involved identifying key takeaways from their analyses, allowing students to distil complex information into actionable insights.

The session concluded with presentations from each group, where students showcased their analyses and insights. This opportunity allowed participants to articulate their findings, receive feedback, and engage in discussions with their peers. The presentations not only reinforced the learning objectives of the activity but also fostered a sense of collaboration and community among students. By sharing their perspectives and analyses, they contributed to a richer understanding of the diverse factors shaping the business landscape today.

The outcomes of the session was that the students gained a wealth of ideas regarding specific events and situations, providing ample opportunities to cultivate their critical thinking skills. This practice is vital, as it enables future business leaders to approach problems from multiple angles, thus enhancing their decision-making capabilities. Additionally, the exercise provided a comprehensive understanding of the business environment. By examining current events through the PESTLE lens, students developed a deeper appreciation for how external factors influence the industries. This holistic view is crucial for aspiring leaders who must navigate complex market dynamics. Lastly, the activity significantly improved students' analytical skills. This skill is indispensable in today’s data-driven business world, where informed decision-making is key to success.
