The Vedica Writing and Communication Centre
The Writing and Communication Centre plays a unique part in Vedica's re-imagination of a management programme. In a world characterized by unpredictability and continual transformation, the Vedica Writing and Communication Centre takes a proactive approach in preparing its scholars to tackle these very challenges. Recognizing the urgency of molding leaders who can confidently navigate an uncertain terrain, the Centre integrates blended learning-combining the strengths of both digital and traditional methods-to deliver a personalized learning experience tailored for every Vedica scholar.
In doing so, the Centre goes beyond the conventional. By employing experiential learning, scholars are submerged into real-world scenarios, granting them the opportunity to practice and refine their skills in varied discursive settings. This pedagogical approach-melding experience with theory-ensures that learning is deep-rooted, impactful, and lasting.
Objectives
We aim to sharpen scholars in both critical thinking and adaptive communication. Thus, our curriculum is built around four pillars:
But our commitment extends even further. We partner with our scholars to foster communicative confidence. This prepares them to not only articulate their thoughts but to also interact and negotiate with a wide range of stakeholders, setting them up for success in a global workspace.
How the Writing and Communication Centre works
The Writing and Communication Centre functions alongside the “Thinking and Communicating for Impact” track. It works in two ways :
Foundation Courses and Workshops
Foundation courses and workshops are designed to impart tools and frameworks that Scholars can use to think clearly, speak confidently, and write precisely. A wide variety of topics are covered, from structured argumentation to effective storytelling.
Small group workshops are curated to follow up on the courses, facilitating collaboration and practical application. Workshops also cover topics such as plagiarism and citation, presentation skills, personal narratives, and report writing.
The Writing & Communication Lab
The Writing Lab is a system of office hours and is the main spine of the Centre.
It is an experimental and encouraging space that works by appointment. Scholars are welcome to discuss all kinds of issues—structuring, editing, presenting, body language, etc. Through 30-45 minute one-on-one sessions, instructors actively guide scholars, refining their communication skills and enhancing their ability to navigate multifaceted global communication landscapes.

Each of the VWCC sessions has helped me with effective articulation, synthesis and contextualisation. Right from the one-on-one meetings which involves extensive feedback, to courses like Communicating with Audiences, the Centre has taught me how to make an indelible impact with my words. They have also helped me in honing my public speaking and media communication skills which have aided my leadership qualities.

Class of 2016-17
I'd always communicated fairly well; but at the VWCC, my organisational communication, especially e-mail writing, underwent a revolution! The Centre gave me the tools to analyse, critique and articulate; but most importantly, it gave me the confidence and courage to stand tall and express myself.
