Message from Founder

Dear Friends,

The high degree of uncertainty we are facing today in our personal and professional life is the result of the increasing complexity and volatility day by day. This is owing to several factors like a highly fluctuating demand-supply gap of products/ services, boundary-less business forces, global war for talent, high rate of technological change & so on. Making our lives happier in such an environment is quite a challenge, though not an impossible task. Success and happiness

Career is an important part of everybody’s life, whether an entrepreneur or employed. Managing one’s career is a challenging task. People with a Vision and Strategy for their career are found to be doing this more successfully than others. This they do by mastering the art of planning and preparing for the factors that are within our reach whether it is:

• Finding their own strengths, limitations and passions
• Focusing on a relevant industry, company and the role that fits them the best
• Developing the required skills whether formal (academic) or non formal

Loratis Career School is an initiative in this direction wherein, I have not only put my own industry experience together but even of all my colleagues and friends from industry and academics. This expertise includes my interactions with executives from more than 400 companies who visited IIT Bombay for Campus Recruitment during my 9-year stint as Placement In charge at the Institute.

Equally valuable are the insights I got from more than 200 IT and HR professionals whom I met as a part of my 6-year long award winning research on “Attrition in Indian Software Industry”.

The most enriching part, though, is my interaction with more than 20,000 students from IITs and several other Institutes from across Asia Pacific as part of my assignment at Oracle Corporation as the Director, Campus Relations for APAC.

I have compiled all the above experience and learning in the form of various services and workshops that Loratis offers. The mission now is to contribute my bit to make India a Soft  Super Power and enhance her global competitive advantage.

I urge all likeminded people to join me in this mission.

Sincerely yours,

- Nandkishore Rathi, BE, MBA, PhD
