1. From Star Performer to Corporate Tiger : 5 Key skills to Succeed for New Managers

2.

Coming soon on the shelves....book your copy 

Will meet Mr. Manu Sharma at our school very soon 

,...............

I started my career as an Assistant in the accounts department and was soon promoted to be an Officer. Within a year I joined a startup as a Manager. Soon the pressure of Managing the team got better of me and had to quit. I restarted my career as an Assistant and realized the mistakes and the skills I need to build to be a successful manager. Within a year I became the Head of the department and have been leading the team for the past 18 years.

In my professional career spanning over 25 years, I had the opportunity of working at different levels and functional areas. As part of my job I was interacting with academicians, consultants, and directors, and CEOs of various Multinational organizations in the country, their advice, guidance, and support helped me to evolve as a Manager. 

I am a commerce graduate from Punjab University, Chandigarh. I did my MBA from IIMS, Calcutta. I have also done my Masters in Finance and Control from Punjab University, Chandigarh. I completed my Masters in Computer Application in 2018

I am no Guru or an expert, just a learner in the process. I have been nurturing my dream of writing a book and share my thoughts and ideas with the world. 

My first book Star Performer to a Corporate Tiger is about leadership, it is inspired by my corporate experience, my learnings from the works of the best-selling authors. I am enjoying the whole process, immersing myself in the projects—diving headfirst into the research.

STEP -BY-STEP WELLNESS BLUEPRINT Do you occasionally find yourself dragged into the never-ending whirlpool of interrogations and become stuck constantly? Do you always hear the following sounds playing in your head? Why are we here? Why should we coexist peacefully? 

Why is letting go of the past baggage important? How can waiting until later decrease the power of our dreams? How does gratitude work its magic? How does nature nourish? How do relationships become toxic, and how do they get back on track? How has parenting changed in this digitally advanced era, and how can the strength and enthusiasm of young people be harnessed? Why does this only occur to me? If so, you have made the right buddy and are at the perfect place. 

The difficulties that arise from all areas of life and ultimately drive us into the depths of stress, anxiety, and fear—the modern-day demons—tend to be solved step-by-step in this book. We all experience stress now that we have adopted a modern lifestyle, but we are not even aware of it. A harmonious state seems far away, and any disturbance to the body and mind's equilibrium causes stress. 

Career, life, relationship, marriage, wealth creation, etc., if all these things fall into place, life becomes meaningful, but if there is an incongruity between our current state and the desired state, it undoubtedly gives birth to stress. This book gives readers insight into how crucial it is to manage stress lest it wreck our lives and turn us into psychologically and emotionally ill individuals. 

This book not only outlines some very straightforward yet effective techniques and suggests some small adjustments to daily routines that one should make in order to reduce stress and make life itself meaningful, but it also divulges the key to transformational radiance and energy. This book seeks to address the HOW and WHY of our existence, to put it briefly.

Why and how ITIs started

 

21 November 2025

1. CHANDIGARH, NOV. 21, 2025 – Seventy-seven Class 8 students from PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya, OCF Sector 29, gained first-hand exposure to the world of technical education today during a comprehensive visit to the Government Model Industrial Training Institute (ITI) in Sector 28. 
2. The initiative was part of the central government's innovative "10 Bagless Days Programme," which aims to integrate vocational experiences into mainstream schooling as envisioned by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
3. The day-long visit was designed to bridge the gap between theoretical classroom learning and practical industry requirements, offering students valuable insights into potential skill development and career pathways.
4. Upon arrival at the Model ITI, known for its state-of-the-art facilities and commitment to skill development, the students were welcomed by the institute's principal and faculty. 
5. They were guided through various departments, where they witnessed live demonstrations of core trades, including electrical, mechanical, and information technology. 
6. Students observed complex machinery, innovative projects (such as those using recycled materials), and the day-to-day operations of the training facility.
7. A key highlight of the visit was an interactive session where students engaged directly with industry experts and ITI trainees. 
8. This provided them an opportunity to ask questions, understand the practical application of the skills being taught, and learn about the diverse career prospects available in these fields.
9. "The purpose of this programme is to provide life experiences through various activities like carpentry, plumbing, etc., and exposure to art and crafts," said a school official, emphasizing the programme's alignment with NEP 2020 objectives. Such visits play a crucial role in encouraging experiential learning and help students make informed choices about their future careers
10. The students expressed great enthusiasm for the programme, noting that the hands-on experience broadened their understanding of vocational education. 
11. Both the participating students and accompanying teachers lauded the initiative as a "resounding success," underscoring the importance of such practical exposure in nurturing interest in skill-based professions.
12. Officials from both institutions hoped the visit would inspire more students to consider vocational training as a viable and rewarding educational path, addressing the existing skill gap in various industries. 
13. The successful collaboration highlights effective resource sharing between educational institutions in Chandigarh.
