GLOBAL VILLAGE XP!

"Breaking Barriers....Creating Bonds"

The 23rd of August 2010 will go down as an illustrious day in AIESEC Hyderabad's history. Over 100 countries made their presence felt in the picturesque Sampradaya Vedika, bringing with them their cultures, cuisines and characters.

But then the day meant more than that to me. For someone who has been a part of AIESEC Hyderabad for over a year, the international experience wasnt exactly new to me, but Global Village with its sheer diversity and energy completely blew me away. From being handed a Swiss chocolate by an actual Swiss person to watching the Japanese enthusiasm for a song as Indian as Tunak Tunak Tun, the word 'globalization' to me became devoid of all its politico-economic undertones and simplified itself to a gathering of young people from the world over just having fun.

Imagine talking to a Dutchman about how much you supported their team in the finals, only to walk to the spanish stall to try out their delicious cured meats. So much for international diplomacy.

At the end of the day the biggest positive was the fact that GV as a platform was a great opportunity for us to bond, learn and feel united in the greater cause of hoping for a better, more united future.

I still remember the day, I was standing on the edge of the pool and Anishay and Ashwath were announcing the names of the people who got selected as Organising Committee of Global Village. I was tensed as they have already announced and pushed Mahati and Ruthika into the pool and it was the best moment when ashwath pushed me into the pool. It was one of the best experiences I have ever experienced in my life, I call them precious moments.

This is the best learning experience a person can ever get from AIESEC and Thank you AIESEC Hyderabad for giving me the Best Experience ever.

The learning I have got , the fun I did, the type of team experience I have experienced is price less, I will remember this event and this experience for life time and I would once again want to thank Anishay Raj, Ashwath Vyas S, Himanshu Charan and my beloved OC for giving me this opportunity. Thank you to Hirans because without you we would’nt have delivered such a fantastic event , thank you so much.

Pocket Recruitments, 2010....




Organizing Committee shares its Experience......


Tania Rao, Organizing Committee President

AIESEC has been a life changing experience for me. I was nervous when i was announced as the President. Then i got my team in a few days. We knew that the next two weeks would be intense. The kind of work and the promotions we were expected to do would need a lot of hard work. It didn’t go that well in the beginning but then pressure started building up eventually. My team, the organizing committee, was very cooperative.I think team effort was one thing that made our OC strong and successful. I am proud to say that we recruited a bunch of really bright individuals who definitely will exceed expectations and get a good learning experience from AIESEC. Hard work, learning and fun defines my term, i am glad i got an opportunity to live this experience.

Smita Gupta, Vice-President, Finance.

It was an exceptionally amazing experience to be on the Organizing Committee. It was good to recruit other people into the organization and share our experience with them. Constant interaction with different individuals, giving seminars in different colleges and convincing students to apply fo the internship has definitely improved my communication skills. The experience of working in a team of four different individuals, perhaps, has been my biggest learning. The pressure of meeting deadlines, being punctual, the skill of interacting with hundreds of individuals, the time commitments, every bit i did as a part of this organizing committee has helped me grow as an individual and the learning has been immense. This term has been an experience worth living. :)



Sonali Bantia, Vice-President, Venue and Logistics.

The Organizing Committee experience has been very nice. Even though we recruited just 30 people, I think we recruited the 30 BEST people. It was really nice working with Tania, Varun and Smita. I miss the fun we had during our term. Co-ordinating with different kind of people, working in a team and achieving our targets, all this, was fun and challenging at the same time. We accepted all challenges cheerfully and gave our best. It was a wonderful experience.



Varun Guptha Panuganti, Vice-President, Promotions.

Two weeks of time and huge targets ahead…

Initially, I was nervous, but, once we started working, those targets looked achievable. Getting 30 potential students as interns for AIESEC - Hyderabad, in the month of April when all colleges shut down for vacation, was not easy. But WE did it!

I got the best of the team experiences from this term. Met the craziest students of Hyderabad, gained tremendous amount of knowledge, improved my communication skills and most importantly I have learnt a lot more about AIESEC. My first and probably the best team experience of my AIESEC journey. :)

Living the AIESEC Experience...



"Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world? Or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives... for better or worse" -Lucas Scott.


AIESEC is a reflection of life and society” and it is not the opposite as several would like to believe.

If you had a chance to be born again, and correct all the mistakes you made wouldn't you do It?

AIESEC is one such chance where you can see yourself grow over the years, learn immensely and make the biggest mistakes and still get right back up.

There are very few opportunities that one can avail; to be born again and live life all over again.

AIESEC was my opportunity to be born again, to grow up, mature and pass away.


I have read most of the previous experiences of several AIESECers, and I can assure you that I had all the very same experiences, just different learnings.

The AIESEC Experience is a cycle made up of different phases. Here's a a sneak peek of my AIESEC Experience in its true sense:



First, "Introduction to AIESEC": I was just another member like the other 100 recruited in the year 2007. I was happy to meet people and network in this new city I was thrown into. And unlike other students of my age I thought I was cool since AIESEC gave me an opportunity to walk into the offices of Multinational Companies in the city.



Then came; "Taking Responsibility": The year 2008 was probably the steepest learning curve in my life with two very intense learning experiences in the form of being on an Organising Committee for Recruitments, and Organising Committee President of Balakalakaar.

Being on an OC meant me shedding all inhibitions and walking up to people and telling them to buy something from me for a sum of money. Surprisingly, this was one of the toughest things for me to do.


Just the thought of me being 18 years old and managing an event for 5000 under-privileged children, raising funds of close to 4 lacs, managing a team of 5 individuals (all elder to me and an International from new Zealand ) involving heavy advertising and media still scares me. And this was being the Project head of Balakalakaar 2008, which was a huge success.


"Leadership Role:" AIESEC is known for the leaders it produces. This role is very vague, as an AIESECer can assume the position of leadership 3 months into this organization and if you happen to spend 6 years in AIESEC it's very likely your still are going to be in this stage of learning.



Fortunately or Unfortunately I was able to live only the two smallest Leadership positions being the OCP of Balakalakaar I spoke about and being Vice-President of the Corporate Sector.

In the year 2007 I was a delegate at the National Leadership Development Seminar as a new recruit and in the year 2009 I was there at the same conference Facilitating it now!!


The last phase of the AIESEC Experience is "Heading for the Future:" This is the part where you are harshly thrown back to the actually journey called LIFE. I haven’t done too much of it so I cannot write about it :)


I would like to Thank AIESEC for teaching me so much and most of all thank you to the people who taught me so much. It is a beautiful platform and I will forever remain grateful to it for giving me some of the best years of my life.





When I started putting pen to paper to give the readers a new angle about my AIESEC Experiences, I realized that my thoughts should just stick with me, because some things just can’t be explained in words or even pictures. I can’t put down what I learnt in close to 3 years in 3 pages and expect someone to read it and be inspired. Somethings just need to be learnt by experience. So if your in college or getting there.
