The success of any organization, especially a coaching institute is attributed to its robust and efficient back-end operational processes, a seamless training procedure, a very flexible and hands on management and most importantly a aggressive front end team. Exactly what we possess at Gen-Next and it is this young and aggressive street smart team of Front ending Team of Prasanth, Sekar and Sriram who we are featuring in our Straight Drive column today. They are our mouthpieces, who represent us in front of the outside world. This is the very team who bring in the children, letting the parents know about Gen-next, how we are different and how the children stand to benefit if they were to join Gen-next. Each of the above gentlemen are unique in their own ways and one thing that all of them have in common is their love for Ashwin and for the game of Cricket. This is what has brought them to Gen-Next.
Meet Sriram, our intern and a man of few words, but when he talks, he makes full and complete sense.
Sriram is based out of Germany and he is here for a research study at IIT campus. Sriram has done his MS in
Communications and multimedia
On His Innings at Gen-Next
Like all of us Sriram is an avid Cricket follower. Sriram came to Gen-next with a view to have a learning experience of how a Cricket Academy functions, how a star is made. He adds by saying that he wanted to know at the rudimentary level how to coach ten year olds. Sriram feels that while at other institutes there is an over emphasis on batting skills here at Gen-next it is all about the all round development of a cricketer. There have many other aspects of a professional set up that Sriram has picked up, finer nuances like Client Relationship Management.

On His Thoughts about Ashwin:
Now this is the effect Ashwin leaves on you the moment you meet him, For Sriram, Ashwin comes across as a Next door guy, very simple down to earth and extremely approachable. Sriram rates the Bangalore match against the Aussies, the very best he has watched so far.
Up next we have Shekar:
On His involvment with Gen-next
Shekar is an Engineering MBA graduate, and very much interested in sports management, He is involved in getting enrolments, and assisting the students to enrol for a chosen program.Currently Shekar is helping to get cricket academies in Chennai to participate in a Invitational under 14 tournament to be held from April 30th to May 28th. Shekar has played cricket for a brief period for Infosys in corporate tournaments. Shekar is a right arm off spin bowler. Times and Personal habits have changed post his involvement with Gen-next. For instance Shekar loves his sleep but post joining as an intern with Gen-next, he loves getting up early and rushing to the ground. That is exactly what a game of cricket does to you.
Tango with Ashwin:
It was in 2008 he heard about Ashwin first, and then met him first time in 2010 CSK jersey unveiling. He says that Ashwin comes across as being very candid and straight. Shekar added that Ashwin is very clear about his future plans, that of transforming Gen-next into a World Class Institute.
Not many know that Shekar is a very good Stand-Up comedian.
Move on to the Young and Dashing Prasanth:
The first thing that hits you when you meet Prasanth is his lovely charming smile. Prasanth is a MBA graduate from ICFAI Bangalore. Prasanth has played League Cricket at the corporate level and is a left arm tearaway fast bowler.
Nostalgic Moments with Ashwin:
Prasanth first met Ashwin at his house , through his cousin Rama who is a coach at Gen-next. Prasanth recalls that both Ashwin and Rama would play gully cricket together in the by-lanes of West Mambalam. Being a die hard fan Prasanth wanted to have a selfie moment with Ashwin. Wish fulfilled, Prasanth met Ashwin again after five long years, only to be fondly remembered by Ashwin. This is indeed very typical Ashwin style.
On His Role at Gen-next and his future plans:
At Gen-next Prasanth helps in enrolling the students and inducting them into the institute. He wants to contribute back to the game of cricket, a game he loves so much through his association with Gen-next. Marketing is his speciality and sports management his passion.
If you are interested in meeting up with any of these friendly blokes, just walk into the RKM Grounds in T.Nagar and ask for them.
By the way summer slam is just a week away. Starts on April 10th. Rush before registration closes. A Lot of planning has been put into conducting this camp and interesting activities will make children love the game even more.
Adieu from Gen-next till the next blog. Have a great week ahead
