00:00I think it was a fabulous experience coming here and TASIC has been a marvelous experience and the

00:08icing on the cake of course is winning this award and being recognized for the kind of

00:12work that we are doing so yeah it's always a great experience and I look forward to coming

00:18to TASIC in fact every year. Firstly the overall theme of this year's conference actually resonated

00:29very closely with the kind of work we are doing which is basically at the intersection of technology

00:34and society also considering that our paper would have greatly contributed to the track of the paper

00:44that we were supposed to present at it just seemed like the greatest fit and also like you know

00:49connecting with the right kind of people who are doing good work in our space is always you know

00:54something that as scholars we look forward to. One of the key highlights for the conference was

01:02this feedback session that happened in our track which is a technology and consumer track and that

01:08feedback session was sort of consolidated for all of us and you know we were given some really good

01:16insightful points that we can build on to further our work and of course the second highlight should

01:22we meet the editor session we were able to have such enlightening you know panel on you know positioning

01:29our paper understanding what goes behind rejections desk rejections or you know wherever a scholar is

01:37required or scholar authors are required to you know revise our manuscript and how that process is a very

01:44natural part of research in general so you know taking it with stride and being optimistic about your work is

01:51something that we need to inculcate as a value as well so I think those two will have been the highlights and

01:58of course you know our work getting recognized was absolutely the cherry on the on the cake

02:06I think as forum and as a scholarship space TASIC provides a great opportunity for a networking just

02:15understanding what is happening in the academic domain and I think that is very relevant to understand

02:21so that you can position yourself as as a scholar at a national and international level the best things

02:26that I liked about the conference was that it gave a forum for emerging scholars like us to really put

02:33across our work without any hesitation I figured that being an emerging economy like India scholars like

02:40us actually bring that kind of experience and context and nuance to the global forum so having those

02:45discussions in domestic conferences or national conference of importance like TASIC actually helps

02:51us you know channelize those discussions in the right direction so that you know we can build our

02:58scholarship and then therefore go ahead and give our word and our you know nation a global exposure so I

03:05think that is a great stepping stone as well especially for emerging scholars and especially for you know PhD scholars like us
