Being rich is a feeling beyond, much beyond looking at bank balances. It’s a sense of happiness and contentment from within.
Richness truly is about control and confidence. About having a foundation of skills and capacities, of ideas and how to build them, of transformation through little steps. Of a process of honesty and its closest cousin- self-empowerment.
O Heraldo in its 125th year of existence has lived through centuries, eras, of mindsets and systems. But in this consistency of change, there has been one outlier - simple age-old wisdoms that will never change; of honing skills, honest planning and being self-sufficient while helping others to be so. The seeds of planning GoaNext2024 by O Heraldo, were sown with these thoughts.
To reset, we need to reiterate this basis - Let everyone grow
and prosper for themselves and each other.
There has never been a greater need to reiterate the basis and reset to upskill, to recreate, to restart, to reskill and to rethink. Goa needs this reset, and so does the rest of the county.
An ecosystem where progress means progress for all
The growth of business and economy is meaningful if it involves, and results in, the growth of the less privileged, less educated and the less fortunate.
GoaNext2024, hopes and promises to be a starting point for contributing to an ecosystem where progress means progress for all.
Here disruption means disruption for a better future for all, where regeneration means regenerating the lives of all and the land they are in, where global economic outlook starts from the economic outlook of a village and a taluka, where a start-up means kick-starting not only a lone company’s growth but a force multiplier of the society in which it functions.
The GoaNext2024 summit in collaboration with the Goa IT department’s start-up vehicle, aims to think big, from big-ticket companies and entrepreneurs to the farmer in his field. Experienced experts spanning the arc of academia to enterprise, from bureaucracy to builders of enterprise, from cultural brand builders to result-driven consultants, who have graciously accepted Herald’s invitation to start the conversation, through panel discussions, workshops and standalone speaking sessions.
They are a heady mix of purveyors of excellence from across the country and Goa’s homegrown ones.
The GoaNext2024 will cover a range of path-breaking deliberations on disrupting industries, regenerative Tourism, navigating the start-up ecosystem and honing skills to adapt to the evolving job market.
The speaker sessions themselves are an effort at innovation. Innovations in traditional businesses in Goa. Here, the essence of building skills is to learn to create building blocks of enterprises and place them right.
The workshops include the right tricks to unlock the treat of funding your start-up, followed by the logical extension of this, a business model canvas, to structure your business and look at a crystal ball on its future and if the grand plan will work and how.
The guests have arrived, fetched from the airport and are well rested. The home guests are fresh and ready to meet them. GoaNext2024, promises to be an explosion of ideas, in a sea of synergy, with one objective- have a Goa and an India of those rich in heart and happiness.
All those who are participating and those who will be in attendance to learn and ask, will all be worthy contributors to our Gross Domestic Happiness.
