A year ago this day
On 5th May 2020 we invited Meenakshi Shedde as our Lumière Learning Monday guest speaker.
I interviewed Meenakshi using the Zoom Webinar format.
Journalist, film critic, social worker, Meenakshi is a multi-faceted woman with a sunshine personality.
And how we wish she could have done the session at our Nav Durga office in Nerul!
We miss the camaraderie, hysterical laughter, hugs, back-slapping. No more sitting around meeting rooms to catching up. No pre and post event coffee, lunch and dessert with the guest speaker.
“How did Covid change the way you work?”

Challenge to Opportunity
- We created a fresh vertical, Lumiere Events
- I had a new job role as anchor
- Lumière Communications Desk had a subset – the Lumiere Event Management team
- Lumiere Speakers list became global – speakers no longer need to our Navi Mumbai office.
- No restriction to the guest list – earlier we could invite 25 people on a first-come-first-served basis with Zoom
- No camera set up and CD archives of Lumière Learning Monday recordings
- Guests beyond Lumière World – alumni, associates, clients
- Our YouTube channel, lumierelightandinsight got a makeover.
