Amentum’s Post

Around one year ago, I was a mere 12th-grade graduate who was facing the lingering after-effects of the pandemic pandemonium. In my first week of DoMS NALSAR (Business School of NALSAR), I was introduced to a variety of cells and clubs, pondering the right fit. Back then, I was filled with a profound sense of intimidation about competing amongst so many bright minds! I was caught wondering, “I’ve barely accomplished anything the past 2 years because of the lockdown, am I still good enough?” Well, one year later I stand confident by achieving just the tip, of the iceberg that is to come: 📌 National Finalist in prestigious #Marketing competitions hosted by Indian Institute of Technology, Madras and Krea University. 📌 Published an article in Indian Institute of Management, Shillong's Annual Magazine. 📌 Successfully completed three enriching internships under Lv Prasad Eye Institute: globally renowned NGO, What a Story: produced videos for 600+ brands worldwide, and Kapatkar Educational Society: empowering 400+ schools across South India.  📌 Member of the #sponsorship committee for ZERA_2023, securing partnerships with brands including Telangana Today and Beardo. 📌 Joined the NALSAR band. 📌 Member of the Sports committee and stood first in Throwball as well as Basketball in NALSAR’s annual sports fest. All of this is to emphasize the spark ignited by my first college win: becoming a junior coordinator for the Media and Public Relations Cell, DoMS NALSAR, a role I'll always cherish. So suffice it to say, all the overthinking about peer #competition and #achievements, rendered to be useless. After completing nearly a year at #MPRC, I look back at what being a part of this cell has given me. Not only has it lit the spark of being a marketing enthusiast, but I’ve also learned a lot from my team Manavika Sharma, Nishita N, Ayush Nigam, Priyanshi Nagpal, Ishika Garg, Escandita Tewari, Sneha Jain, Varsha Kandati and I'm excited to work with the new members, Gundabattini Preetham and Sanjana Sarsam. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without the able guidance of our faculty mentors Vivek sir and Deepti ma'am. From refreshing the official website for admission results to implementing enhancements for the same website, it really feels like a full-circle moment. Being at MPRC challenges me to think creatively and this relentless #ideation, alongside the collaborative efforts of Manavika and myself, has culminated in an 80,000+ #reels viewership across Instagram and LinkedIn platforms. This journey of #growth continues and as I step into the role of the Senior Coordinator of the cell, I’m looking forward to working with the new juniors and seeing what their creative minds have in store! So, take that leap of faith and ignore that annoying voice that tells you otherwise. It'll pop up sometimes but, shake it off so you have space for a head full of dreams :) Sorry for the preachy-ness but hey, it’s LinkedIn so gotta do what you gotta do.

HE IS A LEADER IN THE MAKING...

Comparison is only good when it’s used to motivate you. But if you feel that tinge comparing yourself, wondering why you haven’t achieved a certain goal versus one of your peers, stop right there. We are all unique individuals with unique life circumstances. Comparing external goals to your internal value is a recipe for a bad mood. Learn what you can from those who are exceeding in your field and then put it aside. Why would you compare a worker who volunteers 15 hours a week at the homeless shelter to a worker who puts in an extra 15 hours a week at the company? Why would you compare a realtor whose goal is to make as much money as possible to a realtor whose goal is to put 100 families into their first home ever? Why would you compare a person that may be an extrovert and performs well on stage to a highly effective introverted team leader whose team is performing with the best results and culture scores? It’s all about what you really value. Do you value the external? Does your manager value the external? That comes back to the culture within your unit. I learned my life lesson. Valuing souls that are walking in the light and doing good in their life matters more than job titles. The package is not always an indicator of what’s inside the heart. Judge yourself, by what’s in your heart not through comparisons to others packages.

There is much debate about whether China or the US is currently winning the AI race and is on its way to becoming the world's AI superpower. Some experts believe that China has already surpassed the US in certain areas of AI, while others believe that the US is still ahead. According to Kai-Fu Lee, a renowned expert in the field and former president of Google China, both countries are equally strong overall, but individually stronger in certain categories. He says the US is stronger in enterprise software, while China is stronger in manufacturing and image recognition. Another source says that China is rapidly closing the once formidable lead that the US had in AI research. Chinese researchers now publish more papers on AI and secure more patents than their US counterparts. The country appears poised to become a leader in AI-enabled businesses, such as speech and image recognition applications. Nicolas Chaillan, the Pentagon's former chief software officer, said in an interview with London's Financial Times that "we don't have a fighting chance against China 15 to 20 years from now", describing the current situation as "a done deal" and adding that he believes the race between China and the US is "already over". https://lnkd.in/gfdGwX9d
