I walked into the campus of Binary University College of Management and Entrepreneurship at 10.15am this morning.
My meeting with the the Vice Chancellor and CEO was scheduled at 10.30am.
Dato' Professor Joseph Adaikalam is the man helming probably the ONLY Private University dedicated to Entrepreneurship in Malaysia.
Check out the university at www.binary.edu.my
"Dato is a little busy today, and he has only about 5 minutes for you, Mr Dash", his extremely pleasant Senior Manager, Mr Roland informed me at the reception.
Mr Roland then went through the entire GEW Campaign. He liked the concept of The Global Entrepreneurship Week and was impressed with the video. " err, are you alone or do you have a team here?"
"I am alone sir" - no team. Just me.
At 11am, Mr Roland was buzzed to usher me to the boss' office.
I walked in and Professor Adaikalam said, said "hey, we know each other?"
" Yes sir, we do, but its been awhile since we last met"
A humble and passionate man - full of ideas on how to help create entrepreneurial mindset amongst the young.
We got on on to talking...and about an hour later I had to remind Professor Adaikalam of his next meeting !
We were both excited to catch up and learn about what each other was doing in this area.
Prof Adaikalam has clearly "made his mark" in the field of higher education in general and specifically in entrepreneurship education
Professor Adaikalam will unveil his plans for "the Week" very soon. Meanwhile his University College is firmly a Partner !
Welcome on board Dato ! Thank you and congrats !
