Chase your Big dreams- Dr Sunita Maheshwari

Chase your dreams and success will follow……
These words carry much weight when it comes from a person who is among the 18 innovative entrepreneurs selected and invited by the US President Barack Obama’s team to meet him during his recent visit to India. To have her speak to our students about her dreams and how she realised them was indeed a privilege and an inspiration.

Dr Sunita Maheshwari, a renowned pediatric (child) cardiologist was amongst the students of Inventure Academy on January 25, 2011 to guide them on how to dream big and never give up!

“Work, together with passion gives you pleasure and eventually money; but work done just for money may or may not have the same returns, so have dreams and you can make them come true eventually, in spite of temporary failures coming your way, ” she urged our middle and senior school students at a guest lecture

Dr Maheshwari has set up India’s first and largest teleradiology company, Teleradiology Solutions, an IT healthcare organization in 2002 which provides diagnostic reports to patients all over the world.

Dr Maheshwari is a parent of Adil Kalyanpur and Alisha Kalyanpur at Inventure Academy. We appreciated Dr Maheshwari’s own journey to success and are proud to have her as part of the Inventure family.

Indian Education: Comfort in Mediocrity

 "...To attend a classroom in India is usually to fall asleep. Classes are conducted in a monotone from notes that are frayed with long use and remain unchanged for decades. Questions are discouraged, and the pupils very soon understand that their teacher anyway knows little of the subject besides what he or she is reading out to them, hence they stay silent. That is, if there are teachers at all. While a few states (in the south and west) have teachers in almost all schools, in other parts of the country about a fifth of government schools remain without teachers for long stretches of time. Often, a single teacher takes multiple classes and several subjects, to the forfeit of quality...."

Excerpt from an article by M D Nalapat. To read the full article click http://www.jinsa.org/node/1102

M.D. Nalapat became India's first professor of geopolitics in 1999 at Manipal University in India's Karnataka state. Since 1992,he has held that Wahabbism-Khomeinism and authoritarianism are the twin threats faced by the international community and that the "unified field" of terrorism mandates a similar response. In 2003, he partnered with JINSA in organizing the first of four annual India-Israel-U.S. Conferences. Professor Nalapat, who first put forward the idea of forming an "Asian NATO," believes that Israel, India, Turkey and Singapore form part of the "Extended West", rather than an "extended Middle East", and that the countries in this group need to work in concert to promote prosperity, democracy and freedom from terror.
