Konfidant – The flagship
Corporate Mentoring program of
KSOM was held on 2nd August 2019. Through this program, students are connected with
industry stalwarts who take over as
mentors to certain sets of students assigned to them as mentees. As this mentor-
mentee relationship is structured to be long term, the mentees will further engage with their mentors over email, chat messenger and telephone depending on the situational requirement. This will help the mentors t
o continuously monitor the progress of their mentee and would lead to timely feedback. Dr.
Sanjay Muthal, CEO Kontempore Leadership Solutions and Services (KLSS) spearheaded the event. Dr. Muthal with over 33 years of experience in India and abroad has a multi-faceted background in Consulting, Strategic
HR,
Recruitment,
Learning & Development and Organisation
Development. He is globally recognized as an influential HR person. Some of his recognitions include “India’s Greatest HR Professional” award conferred
at World HRD Congress, “HR Achiever’s” award at India Brand Summit, “Outstanding contributions in the field of HR” presented at Asia Pacific HR Congress.
