		<title>Miracles and Wisdom from TEDxPilani</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rahul Anand visited TEDxPilani on March 13, 2010 and got a first-hand taste of an electrifying TEDx event. He shares his experiences:

TedXPilani was the first time I visited a TED event and it was truly a phenomenal experience.

First up was Dr. K.N.Ganeshaiah who demonstrated the relation between mythology and science and how mythology is helping in some spheres to understand the science behind it. He cited the case of ‘Sanjeevani’ herb, which is described in Ramayana as a miracle drug and scientists have now found a similar drug that could possibly have some characteristics of it .

Harish Sivaramakrishnan gave a fresh perspective on the user interface, and how it is an important and integral part of the entire user experience. ]]></description>

		<title>Ideas Worth Spreading from TEDxGurgaon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After TEDIndia (held in November 2009 in Mysore), TED enthusiasts are showing up in various parts of India – a partial list is here: TEDxAhmedabad, TEDxBaroda, TEDxBengaluru, TEDxChennai, TEDxKonkan, TEDxMumbai, TEDxPilani, TEDxPune, TEDxShekhavati.

This list, at best, is a good start because the awareness about TED is still “poor”, to put it mildly. Many people who registered for TEDxGurgaon (held on Saturday, 27 February 2010 at Epicentre, Gurgaon), did not turn up (without communicating about their absence) and some attendees did not know about TED. 

So, the task is cut out for us!  Let us do our “two bits” in helping spread TED, a non-profit organization “devoted to giving millions of knowledge-seekers around the globe direct access to the world’s greatest thinkers and teachers”. ]]></description>

		<title>Samsung Techonology@Home: Story of a Brand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Event: Samsung India (LED and LCD TV) organized a unique workshop on future technology &#038; aesthetics – Technology@Home. 

Date: Saturday, Jan 09, 2010. Location: Chocó La in Khan Market, New Delhi.

I remember a German visitor being amused on seeing a lubricant being sold with the byline "superior German technology"  at a petrol pump in Delhi! Whenever we see a label like "Made in German" or "Made in China" immediately our mind throws up stereotypes! So, what is YOUR image about the Brand "Korea" and more  specifically "Samsung"? Any pre-conceived notions? Do send in your comments! .....contd. (click on "full story" to continue)]]></description>

		<title>Intellectual Property and its relevance to SMEs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most medium and small scale companies in India do not leverage intellectual property as a strategic tool to accelerate their commercial success. For example, when you have an idea for a business that is unique, that has a value proposition, you have some intellectual capital. How do you derive value from it?

Intellectual capital is not just about filing patents. It is the aggregate intellectual material knowledge, information, intellectual property, experience that can be put to use strategically to create wealth in a company.

However, it is rare that an SME owner would have access to in-house IP expertise. One way out is to hire right consultants.]]></description>
