Surat at a tender age of 12. Coming from a less

important, being a good person and a good

son/daughter is what matters”. He emphasized

on being true to yourself and not follow others just because they are successful. His life motto is

to keep learning regardless of their qualifications. Along with being Surat’s biggest Diamond

merchant, he has also been active towards social welfare. As a part of his family custom, from

earning. His highly energetic speech boosted the audience’s excitement and filled them with zest

true happiness comes from within, from freeing ourselves from the thoughts of what others think.

things”.

Like the cherry on the cake, lastly, C.E.O of I.M Possible Training Solutions and author of the

book “Achieve What You Want”, Mr. Bhavin Shah came on the dais with an empowering

motto of “Convert your weakness into strength” as he did by overpowering his shortcoming of

stammering. At a raw age of 28, he has personally trained 4500+ students, founders, speakers,

HR Management team members and CEO's. He has successfully conducted more than 700 Life-

changing Motivational Programmes. With 400+ international clients including Oracle, TCS,

institutions like IIT Jodhpur, IIT Bombay etc. he himself has set an example for the youth that

“Age is just a number”. With the help of interesting activity like number of claps in a minute, he

addressed the biggest challenge of today’s youth that, “We often underestimate ourselves and

don’t realize that our only limit is our own selves.” His life mantra is “Converting the negativity

around into positivity”. With Learning, Regular Practice, Expertise in field and Earning – being

the 4 parameters of success, he conveyed that success comes to the one who strives for it.

Such encouraging and enlightening words of wisdom filled the room with insightful thoughts

and ideas. Emboldening the idea of 'Learning with Fun', the speakers helped instill immense

confidence and motivation in the listeners.

123…SOLD!

123…SOLD! started on 8th April, 10:30 in the morning. On day 1, the reporting time for

participants was 10:00am. There were total 5 round to be carried out. For 4 rounds, each round

had 15 teams and 2 qualifying teams were selected for final round. In final round, the battle was

between 10 qualifying teams. Starting from 10:30, ambitious team members started coming in

for reporting.

First, they were verified for the entry and then they were given their own sitting area with table

and chairs and a bidding board. After all the teams were arrived, event manager and volunteers

started sharing the sheet with list of players and instructed them how to use the list. They also

explained how the auction will go in accordance with the provided list. They shared a Google

sheet with all the teams which will keep their bought player and credit data so teams can live

track their expenditure and credit total. Then the anchor grabbed a mike and show started. First,

he explained the mandatory rules and guidelines to all the teams. Then he started with the list of

players.

The auction of players went like this. First the anchor will recite all the data about a player like

name, credits and base price. Then teams started raising their board to buy the player which

increased the price also. Teams started thrilling bid-wars against other teams to buy the player.

Some teams were determined to buy certain player whatever the price may be, so they kept

raising the board and kept bumping up the price until nobody could compete with them. At the

end, when no other team was ready to raise the price, the player was sold to the highest bidding

team. It went on like that for quite a while. After one and a half hour, anchor gave a small break

of 5 minutes to all the teams so they can relax from bidding, freshen up and plan for the rest of

the players. After break, thrilling bid-wars started again. As the number of remaining players

were decreasing, the excitement and thrill was increasing. Some teams were very close to

winning and only a few players were remaining.

Also, the virtual money left with teams were also low at this point, so players were being sold

for low price. After the exciting auctioning of 165 players, the anchor announced that the round

had been over and gave 5 minutes to relax as the calculation for winner was going on.
