Day 64 of Mentor on Road, USA

“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”
-Swami Vivekananda

Day 64 of Mentor on Road USA was completely packed with three back to back meetings. It started with a meeting with small and medium businesses accompanied by United States Commercial Service (USCS) and Small Business Administration (SBA). Big thanks to International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) for arranging such a wonderful event for us.

Our second meeting of the day was with women owned businesses where we were glad to see the motivated and passionate women leading successful businesses. Questions raised by them in the Q&A session were extremely genuine and practical. Mentor on Road was glad to be able to answer all their queries relating to the conduct of business in India.

In the evening, Mentor on Road headed to a meeting with Indian diaspora where we shared about the smart village program and how the audience can put their hands together to develop some of the Indian villages by adopting them. Our project was appreciated by everyone present in the event. Also, we were glad to note that many people came forward and decided to adopt their village right after the presentation.

Several new initiatives have been planned by Mentor on Road. We will be busy with IABC for events in India and Chicago in the coming year. We will soon announce the initiatives.

Hearty thanks to Poonam Gupta, Maya Patel, Girish Kapoor and full team of IABC for making the day a complete success.
