The state of being constructively Dissatisified mostly leads to Innovation
Todays Leadership Talk session for IPMX Batch’10 at IIM-L (Noida campus) by Nishant Govil Director, BlackRock India. Today’s topic was “The Fintech Evolution : Trivial to Substantial” . The complex topic was dealt with in a very simple and lucid manner. The examples and analogies used helped everyone grasp the topic quite easily.
Ending the session on philosophical note was a master stroke and left the audience on the high.
