P
icture this: Motorola is launching a new mod-
el, before which it wants to train its em-
ployees across the world about the
nitty-gritty of the new handset.
The typical scenario: A team from the company’s
headquarters flies down to each of their major loca-
tions to take the staff through gruelling hours of
Power Point presentations, written notes, discus-
sions and so on. That’s the traditional classroom
training each of us has got accustomed to. The new
scenario: The mobile major decided to cash in on
something more cost-effective. It got an e-learning
tool developed, which it installed in its main server
whereby all the sales staff were asked to take les-
sons and also undergo tests after that. While for the
staff it was flexi and interactive hours of training
that could be taken at one’s pace and convenience,
for the company it was channelising money, energy
and time on a long-term initiative.
Green 2009
Welcome to green IT or green 2009 – a mantra
most companies are chanting these days to combat
recession or as a cost-cutting measure. E-learning
has increasingly been found to be an effective train-
ing tool companies have resorted to in these tough
times.
“Green learning has been part of the Indian psy-
che since years, but what is more interesting is to
see companies convert from the traditional Instruc-
tor Led Training (ILT) to e-learning, thus saving on
the training cost, reducing carbon footprint, among
others benefits,” says Dr. Prabal Mall, content head,
Expertus Infotech. “On an average, a company
spends between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. one lakh on a
trainer. In e-learning, around four hours of ILT
training is converted into an hour of interactive
learning.”
BPOs, IT services, technology and pharmaceu-
tical companies have adopted e-learning in a major
way. The Tatas have embarked on green learning in
a big way.
“Almost all major companies have implemented
green learning initiatives, but it is still at a nascent
stage in India. It has to gather momentum,” says
Shailesh Mehta, CEO, Gurukul Online Learning So-
lutions. “Today, over 15 corporates have adopted
green learning enterprise wise or division wise.”
Go green seems to be the way ahead! ■
Go Green…
■ It reduces use of paper and manual work as
everything is online
■ Reduces cost incurred in classroom training,
which requires companies to invest on travel,
stay, etc.
■ E-learning content is reusable or can be
modified, thus reducing cost of learning
material
■ It is fun and interactive. Also, there is no
compulsion to sit in a classroom – one can
take it according to one’s pace
■ Social networking sites or blogs can also be
used for training purpose

he store’s launch saw a lot
of fanfare, what with Shilpa
Shetty endorsing it on her
recent Chennai visit. Uniq,
the three-week-old exclu-
sive accessory store of actor
Sona Heiden (of Kuselan
fame), resists the temptation of becoming an all-under-one-roof
clothes and accessories provider and keeps the accessories (for
men and women) as centrepiece. Situated bang opposite J.B.A.S.
College (S.I.E.T), it cannot be missed.
From pretty trinkets like earrings, neckpieces, bangles and rings to
wrist watches, glasses, handbags, clutches, shoes, hats, head bands,
scarves and boots, it’s all here. So if it is a fuchsia pair of sandals that you pick
here, finding a giant tote or a mini clutch of the same shade under the same roof
shouldn’t be a problem.
Neckpieces range from the bohemian beaded variety to braided leather ones and
the more classic ones in silver and gold. Bags are a
mix of funky gigantic totes in golden and black to
tiny metallic and sequinned purses.
We love the footwear. From suede strappy num-
bers in parrot green and pink to red satin pumps with drama
heels, neon peep-toes and court shoes, wedges and knee-
high boots, choice is plenty. It’s a case of Cinderella’s glass
slippers though. The size you see is the size that’s available, so
you’re either lucky to fit into the pair you like or move on to
the next.
Also, the tie section, though limited, offers some rather
interesting designs (read guitars and smiling suns).
The accessories have been handpicked by Sona herself
during her travels in India and abroad and the store claims to
have no more than one in the same design or colour. So no
embarrassing mirror-image moments. Uniq! ■
