Day 652 - Why do all good things come to an end?

There are certain people who are absolutely flawless and personification of discipline. One such person was Venkatesh Sir who took the last and final class for Marketing this term. And like they say, he had indeed saved the best for the last. The day was about advertisements, their types and other means of marketing communications. So obviously there were lot of Ads in the class being played and discussed. One such thing discussed was the Competitive ads and its ethics in business. It was surprising to see the TOI and Hindu rivalry and how Sir was in favor for it. He continues to surprise me with his opinions and ideologies and like me, he is the role model for most of the students here. The marketing basics and career option has been seen with a new scope and vision after his lectures. His knowledge of wisdom on the industry and his unbiased way of answering student queries is known for. When we were dreading the cases in WAC and OB, here we were looking forward to his Case studies. The Ti Cycles and Radio Mirchi case, I am sure each and every student had been involved so much and learnt how to really structure a case study. Not to forget the marketing project. Not only has it taught us the basics and core of marketing, but also stressed on the 4 Ps, Taught us a lot in Team work and gave us an opportunity to go off track and add value to our proposition. It also made us learn some new techniques in doing work within a group and extract the talents of team members. For me personally, Marketing was best subject that had been offered in IFMR and its all because of Venkatesh sir. You will truly be missed for the next year to come.
