Extending the success of his book of corporate wisdom, Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch, author and management guru Arindam Chaudharyorganised the Count Your Chickens Before They Hatch Power Seminar recently in New Delhi.

In the seminar, he addressed some 400-odd corporate participants about the five most important aspects of management: passion, motivation, communication, self-motivation and leadership.

"This is probably for the first time in India that an initiative has been taken by a B-school to take management dialogues beyond the realm of the CEOs and MDs. While in the past we have had workshops where CEOs and MDs have paid Rs. 40,000 a day, this has been priced at an affordable Rs. 2,500 per head. This seminar is an effort to take management to the masses," he said.

Chaudhary says despite being the costliest B-school in the country, his Indian Institute of Planning and Management makes necessary financial arrangements to assist the students in their studies. In addition, IIPM has tied up with Al Amin and the Ramakrishna Mission, to educate students who, as Chaudhary puts it, are underprivileged in terms of exposure.

Twelve films

Among other projects in the offing, is the plan to take IIPM to the U.K. and the U.S. Besides, Chaudhary is all set to try his hand at films again, a total of 12 projects this time. Rituparno Ghosh, Aziz Mirza and Anjan Das are among his directors, while stars like Konkana Sen and Salman Khan have been roped in.

Commenting on his debut production Rok Sako To Rok Lo which bombed at the box office, Chaudhary clarifies that he got its final print one day before the release date and terms it a "gigantic mistake". But that doesn't mean he will stop counting his chickens before they hatch!
