 Talk on “How To Build Your Social Media Strategy From Scratch,”

Venture Center Library organized an enlightening talk by Mrinalini Sanchan on “How to Build Your Social Media Strategy From Scratch,” on 19th January 2024

Here are the top 3 takeaways from this talk:

1. Content is NO longer king: It’s the emperor now! Quality content is the bridge, but engagement is the destination. The journey through cyber space taught us that it’s not just about what you say; it’s about how you make your audience feel.

2. Importance of knowing your customers: The more you know, the more you grow! Tailoring content for your audience is the secret sauce. Understanding their needs, desires, and digital habits is the compass that guides you to the heart of your community.

3. Patience, Persistence, and Consistency: The Holy Trinity of Cracking Social Media! Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a robust online presence. Shoutout to Mrinalini for reinforcing the power of endurance in this dynamic journey through the cyber wilderness.

Fireside chat with Dr. Madhur Motwani on ‘Overall Wellbeing and Happiness’

We had an insightful talk on ‘Overall Wellbeing and Happiness’ by Dr. Madhur Motwani on the occasion of ‘Mental Health Week’ organized by Venture Center Library. Dr. Madhur offered some of his perspectives and data on overall well-being. Madhur is certain that our ‘gut microbiome’ is an underappreciated organ that can be taught with food to regulate chronic inflammatory disorders, including some that extend beyond the gut. He also emphasized the function of the ‘gut-brain’ axis in fostering mental well-being and revealed his approaches to mental health talks as a scientist.
