“Have faith in yourselves,
and stand up on that faith and be strong; that is what we need.”
- Swami Vivekananda
Day 38 of Mentor on Road, USA started with a brilliant
interaction with the American companies at Economic Development Corporation,
Los Angeles arranged by USCS (United States Commercial Services) office in Los
Angeles.
Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) was founded in 1981 as a non-profit, public-benefit organization to harness the power of private sector in collaboration with L.A. County, to guide economic development and create more widely shared prosperity. LAEDC collaborates with all stakeholders in the region including education, business, and government.
The LAEDC believes in the Triple Bottom Line: economic strength, environmental sustainability and shared equity and prosperity. In support of the Triple Bottom Line, LAEDC is a partner in the California Stewardship Network.
In the vision of LAEDC, the future, where innovation drives growth, the machine can be seen as an extension, not a threat. Up-skilling their workforce is key. LAEDC is truly a catalyst, fostering connections with the institutions, policy-makers, employers and community leaders that can lead back into a hopeful future. Through strategic intervention, hope is regained.
Mentor on Road presented and discussed opportunities in sectors like healthcare, infrastructure, financing, ecommerce, hospitality, heavy material handling equipment and pharmaceuticals.
While conducting the session we came across the fact that a lot of American companies have a misconception towards India and were not much aware about the developments that are taking place in India. However, after the discussion, Mentor on Road was glad to clear all their doubts and conclude on the note that India has come a long way economically, to which everybody agreed after witnessing the real facts and data that we presented.
Overall, the session was highly interactive. Sincere and relevant questions were raised by the audience and Mentor on Road was happy to answer all of them successfully. One thing Mentor on Road, as an organization, stands by is to make sure that the companies who invest their time and attend the event, walk out with complete satisfaction and happiness. Apart from considering it as a responsibility, Mentor on Road always enjoys answering the questions raised by the companies.

Following to this, Mentor on Road headed towards a meeting with Women in
Technology International (WITI) in Los Angeles.

We discussed about the participation of women in the economy and the issues and
challenges regarding it.
They have 150,000 women members globally. We would soon be working with them
and connecting them to the companies in Bangalore in December 2017. Their
commitment and passion towards management and leadership is commendable. Mentor
on Road was glad to have met such a wonderful team.
Mentor on Road talked about the UN Women missions of "Planet 50-50
by 2030" and "HeforShe" initiative. It was greatly appreciated
by the crowd.
Also, met American women owned businesses and we would soon start working with
them and connect them to Indian women owned businesses. More power to women
empowerment.
Looking forward to an eventful journey ahead.
Jai Ho! (Let victory be yours)
