The year 2020 has been momentous for our lives and hence as we usher in a fresh year in 2021, the expectations of IT organisations are very much different from how things have changed incrementally over the past few years.

According to Arun Dinakar Rao, Chief People Officer, Birlasoft, the workplace paradigm has seen a significant shift credit or critique to Covid-19. And this new workplace is there to stay! I believe that we would see more distributed workplaces with virtual teams working with leading-edge collaboration tools, he said.

Organisations would need to sharpen their technology backbone, productivity measurement frameworks and invest in enhanced cybersecurity measures, he said.

For Karthikeyan Natarajan, President & COO, Cyient, the impact of the turbulent 2020 on the management function is about bringing empathy with associates, customers, and at the same time customers looking at partners with similar graphs, and empathy in return.

He further said, I think it (pandemic) tested every walk of life in terms of your ability to make decisions faster, and your ability to use data and guts in a more equitable manner. It also led us to think about how we ensure that you balance the priorities between people and organisation.

Entire concept of performance management is likely to undergo a dynamic shift

With the world moving from a workstation to a WFH station, Ruth Aarthy Asha, Head - Human Resources and Business Partner, Maveric Systems, took the start of the pandemic as a period of great learning.

As we look towards the new year which hopefully will be post-Covid-19 dawn, we have been working towards a newer approach in preparing for the coming year. We continuously focus on the health and wellbeing of our associates, and as a result, looking for implementing workplace policies that will influence these initiatives, Asha said.

Technologies like Cloud, Blockchain, AI/ML will continue to be in demand, however, the ability to be self-directed, contribute via virtual teams and timely investment in physical and emotional wellness while striking a work-life balance will be considered paramount to thrive in these evolving times, he added.

Speaking of the must-have industry skills for 2021, Natarajan from Cyient said it's going to be about full-stack software development, being agile, and automation skills.

You may not see big large projects, but you should be able to really have the skills that can break the large projects into smaller chunks that you can execute in bit sizes. I think that could be a lot more in view in 2021, added Natarajan.

EduYear is an Ed-Tech Startup started with the aim of redefining and revolutionizing the outdated education system while bringing affordability and quality at the same place. At EduYear learning is made fun and interesting using creative teaching methodologies.Outdated Teaching MethodologiesIn this modern world where every sector is getting modernized with the latest equipment whether it is agriculture or small businesses run from home. The education system is the only sector that has seen the least number of changes and is still run using the decades-old learning system.Introducing a digital classroom alone does not change the way students are taught and are generally used on special occasions. The majority of the schools do not even have access to smart classes, or they lack the people with proper knowledge of using the smart class to its maximum capability.

It is high time now to change the teaching methods to cope up with the needs of every student. EduYear says that every student's brain is different and not every brain functions the same way therefore they focus on understanding the needs of every brain and adopt different methods to satisfy the needs. They have done market research and tested and applied different strategies to come up with the best solution.

Live Classes at EduYear

EduYear conducts live training on various subjects including Python, Data Science, Machine Learning, Java, Data Structures, Full Stack Web Development, and many more. The training varies in the number of days depending upon the requirements of the subject. The classes are taught live via qualified teachers trained by them. The classes are not taught traditionally but taught using new teaching methodologies which include creativity and more focus on practical knowledge. Using these methods EduYear has seen quite a growth in students understanding the concepts easily and much faster. EduYear provides affordable courses while maintaining the quality so that everyone can afford it and increase their skill set. Their main objective is to provide quality and affordable education to all.

Since the pandemic happened and people were forced to sit in their homes many looked at this as an opportunity and took online courses and learned new skills. This gave a major boost to all online course providers.

EduYear also provides 1 on 1 live training which is designed completely on the student's needs. The student can choose the subject or topic he wants to learn and the number of classes and timings. 1 on 1 concept is quite effective as many students suffer from social anxiety thus through 1 on 1 they can freely learn and be comfortable with the teacher. The teaching can be conducted at the pace student is comfortable and he does not have to be dependent on other students. This 1 on 1 training is getting quite popular among students and more and more students are selecting this option over the regular class.

EduYear Prime App

The current youth is moving towards OTT (Over The Top) apps. OTT apps give them the freedom to watch anything anytime. OTT apps provide a much more personalized experience. EduYear has also launched its app named EduYear Prime available on both Play Store and App Store free to download. The app provides premium quality courses on topics such as Python (In Hindi and English), C, C++, HTML CSS, and many more courses to be added soon. These courses are available to watch on a subscription basis. The videos are pre-recorded lectures specially made and designed to tailor to the needs of the students.

The app is referred to by the students as the "Netflix of Education". Students can get a personalized experience as they can choose what they want to learn when they want to learn. Many students are unable to attend live training due to timing issues thus recorded lectures are a perfect way for them as they can watch them anytime and at their own pace. Even if some concept is not understood by the student he can re-watch the lecture any number of times.

While many OTT apps bringing distraction for the students, EduYear Prime is trying to make a difference and wanting to be recognized as the go-to OTT app of Education. It will help a lot of students as they will start to take more interest in building up their skills.

We are preparing for the curtain fall of 2020. While it was a difficult year, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, several K-dramas came to our rescue! With every K-drama, the actors of the show became the talk of the town courtesy the characters they portrayed and the performances they delivered.

However, when Pinkvilla reached out to fans on Twitter asking which actor stood out for them, they picked Park Seo Joon and Park Bo Gum.

Park Seo Joon was picked among choices of Hyun Bin, Lee Min Ho and Kim Soo Hyun. Over 27,000 voters cast their vote and Park Seo Joon took the cake with 30.3 per cent votes. It's Okay To Not Be Okay star Kim Soo Hyun was extremely close, with 30.2 per cent votes in his favour. The King: Eternal Monarch star Lee Min Ho fetched 24.3 per cent votes whereas Crash Landing On You star Hyun Bin had 15.2 per cent voters on his side.

Park Seo Joon was nominated for his mellow but powerful performance in the tvN revenge drama.
