“Success doesn’t come from what you do occasionally. It comes from what you do consistently”, based on this ideology, TSAN’s very own mentor Professor Thakker set in motion the first among the many webinar series for Spring 2021. From pacifying the concern which was almost on everyone’s mind, he calmed the anxiety through his soothing words based on his vast commercial experience in the telecom world, “that there is still hope in these troubled times, that there is still thriving demand for skilled telecom engineers,”. He also took a trip back to the memory lane to the happier Pre-COVID-19 era, where the enthusiasm of learning was much higher through in-person classes and hoped that things will return back to normal soon.
