In popular fashion, a Kaleidoscope is just another optical instrument that works on illusions. Shake it and you find the existing patterns transition into the newer ones. Symbolically, it represents the initiatives an individual must pursue to land in the right place, as life continues to change and we are continuously challenged. The department of Management, Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani, Pilani Campus, India, has taken the initiative to organize an Industry connect webinar series Kaleidoscope since September 2021, aiming to build the critical skill of business in its students aspiring to work for the new-age organizations.
