This Blog is related to our corporate training on OpenERP that took place from 22nd June to 6th July 2009 at IMS Engineering College. Please do take time to leave some comments. Thank You.
Last year itself I came up with the term ERP, thanks to my HOD Proff. S. K. Chitlae and one of my senior. From that time only I felt connected to this Technology. I also had ERP as a subject in my 6th Sem, and came more closer to it.
My Senior, Mr. Satyamitra Maan, one day called me up and told about this training and some of his plans regarding this. It was before the start of my Examination. During my vacations, I really wanted to do some good training (At least not any .Net or Java course). And then came this opportunity of ERP Training. Examinations went over and we started looking for more students for this training.
But due to his bad policies, this training seemed to be in Darkness...
This person - Mr. Varun Kumar, whom I met on 23rd May at Satyamitra's Place, came to help me out. He also wanted this training, and me also. We had same targets. And then once again I started working Day and Night for it
My Team
There was this girl - Ms. Tanya Gupta, was ready to attend this training. She came all the way from Rajasthan to attend this training.
This girl - Ms. Tanvi Manchanda. She was doing Java course in her native place. And she got ready to get trained on this training.
That was it - Only Six of Us - Me, Shalabh, Anuj, Mayank, Tanya and Tanvi.
Anuj is a very practical boy. A person who has a mature thinking and and at the same time keep the environment very light.
Mac - Mayank Goel is a very (very very) simple guy. His one of the passion is programming (other than Cricket).
The last person Shalabh - I have no words for him. In other way, if I take them from any vocab book... It will take hours to write.
Varun Sir made a decision to start the training with only six of us.
Take Off
It took off on 22nd June. We had with us Ms. Divya a Charted Accountant to explain all the terms of Finance and discuss with us all the aspects of accounting. Actually Finance is very typical for Technical Guys to understand. And Varun Sir knew it very much.
On 23rd, came the young entrepreneur Mr. Lepeesh Parat. He is Founder & CEO of ZBeanz Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and came all the way from Kerela to teach us Functional Aspects of the OpenERP. He is really a Man of Action. A young and hard working Entrepreneur. He came and gave the introduction to OpenERP.
Phase One
From 24th to 27th he taught us the Functional Aspects of OpenERP. He very well knew the minds of Starters. He started from Parters, Products and on last days taught us Finance and Manufacturing and Stocks. He told us many a things that we were really unaware of. He taught us in the most wonderful way that we rarely faced any problems. We didn't faced any disconnections regarding the functionality of OpenERP. He opened each page of OpenERP in a way that a begner could not feel out of focus.
Now imagine.. a person, who didn't see any Business Practices, Workflows of Buisness.... and today is ready to be a part of the implementation team. Actually I am talking about all of us - the whole team. So who would you actually praise.. students .. NO. Its the teacher.. Its his words that made all the fog of ERP vanish. His positive aura just use to fill our lab. A very Simple and Sober Personality. Helpful nature is one of his most valuable asset.His politeness was a factor that when he was going I felt that if could stay for one more day.......
But before going back he made us listen his music, and talked a great deal about his work experience. Someone said - "Music has no Words". And I am still in wait of his music to be released or if he could give it to me for personal use. It was really a wonderful piece of Art.
A company like ZBeanz, and his team are the real blessed persons on this earth. They have got such a nice BOSS... I am very much sure that in days to come you will hear ZBeanz among top 100 companies of India and in more future among Fortune 500 of world and finally a number 1 company in whole World. After all companies grow due to the Leader.... I wish you all the best in you future....
Phase Two
On 28th, came Mr. Sharoon Thomas. The way he took off the technical aspect was in a way that I can not tell...
Now imagine once again.. None of us knew how to work on Linux, how to install any software on Linux (leave OpenERP), and Python - forget it, we never even saw it, don't ask about using. And before leaving he made us create our own Modules, Views, Wizards, and many a lot of things. He generated a sense of Confidence in us that yes its we who can do it.
Now within 7 days I started hating Windows and started loving Linux.
He was the most frank person I ever met. He has a clear view that was has to be done... how it has to be done.... till where the Train has to be taken and which are existing tracks and which tracks had to be laid of. ("What is the use of laying the tracks where train has not to go?" he once said to me) . He taught us how to create actual professional reports. (In our curriculum, we only copy the reports... do not prepare it) It was simply a complete change. Like a bird learning how to fly so that it can be the best flyer.
I am very much sure that if is at 21, what he is, after 10 years whole India will know him and after next 10 years he will be a global face, pride of India.
He was a very simple yet energetic personality. He is a person that keeps focus on his actions and yet remain so jolly, witty and humorous. He use to call me "Big Guy" and "A Happening Guy". Whenever we called him sir, he used to ask that if he is that much old. He made us all call him by his name. But it was not that much easy for us. So we still call him "Sharoon Sir".
After this training, today on 7th July, I feel completely transformed. Getting trained from persons like Mr. Lepeesh and Mr. Sharoon is really an experience that doesn't come twice in life. The two personalities who carry with them a positive nature and an environment they create is simply wonderful. They solve the problems even if they are extremely busy. They just balance each factor so well that they have time even for starters. I am extremely Lucky to get trained by the two wonderful persons.
Person behind this
Behind this training, the extreme work was done by Mr. Varun Kumar. My senior whom I met for the first time when he was about to leave the college. He made each and every situation so easy that we don't even thought about it. He made such arrangements that we could focus only on our training. We never faced any difficulty in whole training period. One of his precious possessions his is foresightedness. He is able to look into future and thus prepare for the upcoming possibilities. He always remains extremely positive and very bold in his decisions. I am hundred and one percent sure that he will be a very successful manager, leader and in total, a very successful Entrepreneur. Wish you good luck sir....
