Weekend 2
During the second weekend of the course, (13th to 15th March), Shri Ulhas Joshi introduced topics like Marketing and Digital Marketing. The students worked in groups to make detailed marketing plans for a product or service.
In the Social Media session, he elaborated on the use and benefits of Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.
The last session was on Basic Finance for non-finance individuals. Students worked in groups to decide the pricing of tickets for a concert organised with a surplus-margin in mind. In the next activity, the participants worked individually to develop an investment plan for a given amount.
The presentations were interesting and gave an idea of how much the students enjoyed the ‘non-musical’ subject.
