  10. India's Influential Men Leaders Making Waves in the Business- 2024 International STEAM Research (ISR), Dr Panicker is more than just a leader; he's the spark igniting an international education revolution, one captivating lesson at a time. He clarifies, “Our aim is not to make individuals experts in all the subjects but to harness the essential transferable skills inherent in them. These skills are crucial for a thriving economy and a safe, sustainable society. To achieve this goal, we offer scalable, sustainable, inclusive, and integrated STEAM programs and research. This involves leveraging the expertise of forward-thinking individuals, administrators, teachers, and institutional support to impact students positively. Thus, the establishment of International STEAM Research (ISR).” The Secret Dr Panicker doesn't believe in unoriginal learning. He champions heutagogy, where education becomes a personalized journey, not a pre-scripted lecture. Students become independent investigators, architects of their own learning, fueled by futuristic technologies and hands-on experiences. Imagine coding robots in kindergarten, composing music with AI in middle school, or designing sustainable communities using virtual reality in high school. This is the world Dr Panicker brings to life. The Fusion Founded by two versatile educators, Dr George Panicker, the Founder and CEO, and Capt. Shaji Sebastian, the Founder and Mentor of ISR, the organization has been actively promoting Heutagogy with various institutions and organizations globally since 2017. Inspired by visionary pioneers, Dr Panicker launched ISR along with his friend Capt. Shaji Sebastian, on an undertaking: equipping India's youth with cutting-edge STEAM methodology, igniting minds for self-directed learning, and nurturing a generation of future innovators. Within a short span, ISR has become the nation's leading provider of affordable, immersive STEAM education, empowering schools across the country. Through the provision of quality education (SDG 4) for all, ISR aims to break the cycle of poverty (SDG 1) and contribute to achieving gender equality (SDG 5). By addressing these three Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), ISR endeavors to assist people in obtaining decent work and contributing to their economies (SDG 8), ultimately empowering them to lead healthier lives (SDG 3). Dr Panicker reveals, “Through education, we can foster the values of empathy and inclusiveness, key to reducing inequalities (SDG 10), ultimately leading to peaceful societies (SDG 16).” The Process By dismantling the antiquated walls of traditional education and unleash the symphonic potential of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) within every student, through ISR's innovative programs, classrooms become vibrant laboratories where curiosity explodes like chemical reactions, creativity spills like digital ink, and critical thinking hums like well-oiled gears. His impact echoes beyond classrooms. ISR's reach extends to rural communities, empowering underserved youth with access to STEAM education and the tools to build their own futures. His projects, like the Happy Zone initiative, create vibrant learning spaces within schools, even in remote areas, transforming traditional teaching into that of innovation and collaboration. Picture classrooms buzzing with robots and futuristic technologies, where curiosity runs wild and young minds dive into the boundless ocean of STEAM. This is the legacy Dr Panicker is building at ISR, inspired by the words of Irina Bokova: “Education is the most powerful force for good.” With this mantra etched in their hearts, ISR empowers schools across India with affordable, cutting- edge learning experiences, nurturing a generation of self- determined learners and future shapers. ISR STEAM Experiential learning, with its 7E methodology, is more deliberate, planned, and involves learning through self-reflection. But Dr Panicker's revolution isn't just about technology and fancy gadgets. He believes in the power of human connection and empathy, ensuring that STEAM education doesn't turn children into soulless robots, but rather cultivates well-rounded individuals with a sense of social responsibility and environmental awareness. The Vision Dr Panicker emphasizes that, at ISR, their commitment to contributing to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is manifested through programs centered on Science and Technology, employing Engineering and Artistic processes based on Mathematical principles, commonly known as STEAM. So, what makes Dr Panicker's leadership revolutionary? He dares to dream big: His vision isn't confined to

Dr Panicker emphasizes the urgent need for a transformation in our formal education system, which has largely remained static since the era of industrialization. He expresses, “The conventional approach of rote learning,

  14. where teachers deliver monologues and students passively listen, must be abandoned. ISR represents our solution to usher in a paradigm shift from the traditional education philosophy, centered on standardized test scores, to a contemporary ideal that places equal value on the learning process and outcomes.” Elaborating on the evolving landscape of employment requirements, he notes, “Employers now seek qualities like creativity, ingenuity, innovation, agility and adaptability, critical thinking, complex problem-solving ability, people management skills, emotional intelligence, and cognitive flexibility instead of just college degrees.” While recognizing the significance of textbooks and content, Dr Panicker asserts, “Yet, there is an ongoing need for innovation and reinvention in response to the evolving context and challenges stemming from rapid changes in our surroundings.” To address this gap, experiential learning proves beneficial by establishing connections between content and the learner's real-world experiences, rendering it more relevant, applicable, and easier to absorb. ISR collaborates with schools and institutions to empower students through integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) Experiential Learning Labs, called ‘Happy Zone,’ equipped with futuristic technologies such as Robotics, Drones, AI, AR, VR, IoT, and Applied Coding. These labs align with the various stages outlined in the NEP-2020 guidelines. The global education landscape, including Indian education, is already undergoing a transformation. In the Indian context, the transformation has commenced with the implementation of the National Education Policy - 2020. Consequently, Dr Panicker and Capt. Sebastian have devised the ISR STEAM ecosystem model to foster invention literacy through innovative collaboration and cooperation among various institutions, organizations, communities, networks, and thought leaders. Dr Panicker highlights, “This approach is crucial for cultivating mindful, lifelong learners and problem-solvers dedicated to building a sustainable world.” The Creation Dr George Panicker is not just making waves in India's business world; he's creating a tidal wave of change. He's redefining success, democratizing knowledge, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. He's the embodiment of audacious vision, relentless energy, and a deep-seated belief in the power of both individuals and businesses to make a difference. The Transformation Dr Panicker is not just changing the face of education; he's changing the world. He's proving that learning can be exhilarating, that innovation can empower, and that STEAM education is not just a buzzword, but a powerful tool for building a brighter future, one captivating spark at a time. According to Dr Panicker, the NEP 2020 stands as a groundbreaking document, outlining a path for India to embrace Education 4.0. It comprehensively addresses all stakeholders within the educational ecosystem. The policy urges teachers to move beyond traditional, selective, and limited curriculum-based teaching methods, empowering them to utilize advanced assistive technologies. This approach enhances student engagement by fostering personalized learning, emphasizing the importance of out- of-the-box thinking in Education 4.0. Dr Panicker, a passionate advocate of Heutagogy and a deeply committed educator, asserts, “In a world where content is abundantly available and easily accessible, rendering memorization obsolete, ISR STEAM Experiential Learning is context-based rather than content-based.” Given that ISR STEAM Experiential Learning is not confined to a fixed curriculum but is continually evolving, dynamic, and organic, incorporating it into students' daily routines poses significant challenges. This necessitates teachers to remain vigilant and consistently enhance their skills to align with new standards and emerging technologies. The only way to be prepared for the future of work is to embrace the idea of helping all learners to be future-ready mindful problem-solvers. He further contends that, before it becomes too late, there is an imperative need to dismantle the traditional constraints of the educational system and overhaul it entirely. Conventional aspects of education such as reading, memorization, writing, and arithmetic are deemed insufficient to meet the demands of the future. Dr Panicker emphasizes the responsibility to equip students with the 4 C’s of 21st-century education: Critical thinking, Creativity, Communication, and Collaboration. Dr Panicker emphasizes, “The future of education lies in integrating experiential learning with practical, research- based activities into the core pedagogy of schools, enabling students to develop their metacognitive skills.” The Collaboration He adds that, to instill a scientific mindset in students, the methodology of 'S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Experiential Learning hands-on activities' proves to be ideal. This approach allows students to learn while having fun, without the fear of failure. Recognizing this, it becomes crucial for educational institutions to engage with experts who can guide them in seamlessly integrating STEAM Experiential Learning activities into their existing infrastructure without necessitating extensive financial investments.

When we started with a clear solution-based advisory approach, it was unheard of and way ahead of time. Even today, we have continuously adapted to continuous regulatory changes and thrived. We constantly study new ideas and products and how they can add value to investors. Our solution-based strategies have ensured that investors have always invested in instruments to help them achieve their financial goals. Digitization has enabled us to throw new challenges, which we have adapted by providing paperless transactions, a touch-of-the-click reporting of reports to investors, and regular engagement in online or in- person periodic reviews. This has added stickiness to our investors and has given us many new investors through referrals. As a leader in India's investment management sector, your company has likely faced its share of challenges. Could you share an instance where your team's resil- ience and ingenuity triumphed over adversity? Robo Advisors and online platforms have disrupted this industry, which was earlier more focused on personal connections. During COVID-19, when the markets fell, our team individually spoke to investors and handheld them to make the right decisions, which was impossible for Robo Advisors. This helped investors make the right decisions and not lose out by cashing out when the markets were low. The essence of investment management lies in seamless operations and enhancing the business ecosystem and industrial efficiency. How does your company strike a balance between operational proficiency and client expectations? Your leadership style is often recognized as a driving force behind your company's achievements. Could you shed light on your approach to leadership and team building within the organization? Operations are the backbone of this industry, and we have always upgraded systems in line with new regulations and changes in the government's operational guidelines. Investors require regular updates, convenience, and hassle- free transactions. We have built a robust system that provides a seamless experience for investors in their transaction, reporting, and engagement requirements. In the realm of investment management, technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing efficiency. How does your company leverage technology to optimize its services and stay ahead in a digital age? Your experience in the investment management niche has made you a stalwart amongst your peers. What is your advice to budding entrepreneurs aspiring to venture into the niche? We at Cedrus always believe in transparency, which is what we practice by having an open office culture where ideas and creativity thrive. Our young team provides us much flexibility when adapting to new technologies and regulations. I have a participative style of leadership, which has provided a free flow of information and feedback among employees. With wealth being created in India, there is a huge opportu- nity for entrepreneurs to manage it. There is a huge opportunity for young budding individuals who can take this as a career. My advice to them would be to work on behalf of the investors with honesty and integrity. Build this profession patiently and participate in investors' wealth creation journey.

When we started with a clear solution-based advisory approach, it was unheard of and way ahead of time. Even today, we have continuously adapted to continuous regulatory changes and thrived. We constantly study new ideas and products and how they can add value to investors. Our solution-based strategies have ensured that investors have always invested in instruments to help them achieve their financial goals. Digitization has enabled us to throw new challenges, which we have adapted by providing paperless transactions, a touch-of-the-click reporting of reports to investors, and regular engagement in online or in- person periodic reviews. This has added stickiness to our investors and has given us many new investors through referrals. As a leader in India's investment management sector, your company has likely faced its share of challenges. Could you share an instance where your team's resil- ience and ingenuity triumphed over adversity? Robo Advisors and online platforms have disrupted this industry, which was earlier more focused on personal connections. During COVID-19, when the markets fell, our team individually spoke to investors and handheld them to make the right decisions, which was impossible for Robo Advisors. This helped investors make the right decisions and not lose out by cashing out when the markets were low. The essence of investment management lies in seamless operations and enhancing the business ecosystem and industrial efficiency. How does your company strike a balance between operational proficiency and client expectations? Your leadership style is often recognized as a driving force behind your company's achievements. Could you shed light on your approach to leadership and team building within the organization? Operations are the backbone of this industry, and we have always upgraded systems in line with new regulations and changes in the government's operational guidelines. Investors require regular updates, convenience, and hassle- free transactions. We have built a robust system that provides a seamless experience for investors in their transaction, reporting, and engagement requirements. In the realm of investment management, technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing efficiency. How does your company leverage technology to optimize its services and stay ahead in a digital age?

We at Cedrus always believe in transparency, which is what we practice by having an open office culture where ideas and creativity thrive. Our young team provides us much flexibility when adapting to new technologies and regulations. I have a participative style of leadership, which has provided a free flow of information and feedback among employees. With wealth being created in India, there is a huge opportu- nity for entrepreneurs to manage it. There is a huge opportunity for young budding individuals who can take this as a career. My advice to them would be to work on behalf of the investors with honesty and integrity. Build this profession patiently and participate in investors' wealth creation journey. Like health, wealth should be handled responsibly by advisors, as wrong decisions could adversely impact investors. Technology has been a major disruptor, and any player who hasn’t embraced it hasn’t grown on par with the industry.
