Behind the name – ‘Channelise’
Channelise draws inspiration from the Japanese Kawa (‘river’) Model – a river metaphor depicting one’s life journey.
Like water flowing along a channel, your life moves ahead but not always smoothly. You sometimes experience a rough ride as you face challenges and navigate obstacles. Sometimes the water trickles slowly or rushes too quickly. Like floating down a river that winds its way to the ocean, you need guidance and good knowledge – an expert to navigate the channel and the streams that branch off to other places.
