Ranked as one of the best B-schools in Delhi NCR – Asian Business School (ABS) initiated its new batch of Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) by way of a remarkable three-day Orientation Program held from Monday, 15th July 2019 to Thursday, 18th July 2019 at its stand-out campus located in Sector 125, Noida. This programme was organized to benefit the students who were about to begin a new phase in their academic life.

Mr Farrhad Acidwalla – Entrepreneur, TEDx Speaker, Founder-Rockstah Media & CyberNetIV Digital – who was an Eminent Guest at the ABS PGDM Orientation 2019 Day 2 Ceremony held on Tuesday, 16th July 2019, delivered a highly fascinating Guest Lecture under the LEAD Lecture Series at this august gathering.

Mr Farrhad Acidwalla is a 25-year-old Indian entrepreneur, investor and TEDx speaker. He started off as one of the world’s youngest entrepreneurs and is best known as the founder of Rockstah Media and CyberNetIV Digital. He is on the Board of Directors of D.Y. Patil Edutech and on the Board of Advisors of AIESEC in NMIMS Shirpur.

Mr Farrhad has received several awards and recognition for his work, digital strategies and concepts. He has been featured on CNN, CNN-IBN, LiveMint, MSN.com, Yahoo! Finance, The Economic Times and The Times of India to name a few.

In his highly engrossing talk on Day 2 of the ABS PGDM Orientation 2019 Program, Mr Farrhad Acidwalla took the listeners down his memory lane and recounted his journey so far in life and achievements.

He spoke at length about how he focused and translated his ‘PASSION’ for new-age digital strategies and concepts into a ‘START-UP’ and a business module that eventually made him one of the world’s youngest entrepreneurs.

He described in vivid detail how he single-mindedly concentrated on his work, missing all the fun in life that students of his age were more accustomed to, which led him to the “Winning FORMULA of Success” which invariably started with the first step, viz. “To Take The INITIATIVE”.

His talk was simply too interesting and the students and other guests listened to him in rapt attention through the entire session.
