Expert Lecture on IT and future technologies by PSF Mumbai

Saboo Siddiq Engineering College, Byculla, Mumbai

As part of the ongoing series of ‘Expert Lectures’, a seminar on Infra Monitoring, AD Windows, VMware & Future Technologies was conducted here under the aegis of Professionals Solidarity Forum, Mumbai (PSF) for Second Year to Final Year IT students. The topic was chosen as per the requirement discussed with the institute’s IT Dept faculty. The lecture was delivered by Mr. Sohail Patel, a professional in the same field, having more than 13 years of rich experience and currently working as IT Infra Operation Lead at Capgemini.

After the welcome address by Assistant Professor, Mrs. Shabina Syed, a short introduction of PSF, need of such an organization in today’s scenario along with its varied activity spheres and especially the ‘Expert Lectures’ program was brought to the fore for the audience by Mr. Yahya from PSF.

After this, the stage was handed over to Mr. Sohail Patel who in his unique style mesmerized the audience for the next 1 hour. He began by emphasizing upon the need of a ‘Mindset Change’ and building a ‘Solid foundation’ so that the students would be able to cope with the changing dynamics of the IT industry.

Citing relevant examples of the technical domain and the role of new technologies like IOT (Internet of Things), Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data and Active Directory he encouraged the audience to grab the opportunities that the future brings along.

Mr. Patel’s parting message for the students was ‘focus on technologies which are about to BOOM rather than spending time and money on technologies which are about to DOOM.’ The audience felt inspired when he spoke of his humble beginnings and the way he has climbed this far.

The lecture series was appreciated by the faculty, the HoD expressed her gratitude towards PSF for their efforts and taking up this cause to bridge the gap between Academic Curriculum and Industry.
