Addressing the gathering, Mr. Dhankhar shared, 'The world is changing at a pace that is much faster than the Industrial Revolution. Bharat, at the moment, is a global center of opportunity and growth. Amongst large economies facing difficulties, we have managed to sustain our trajectory and traverse from Fragile 5 to the largest 5 economies of the world. Let us resolve that we work in a direction to iron out the rough edges and make our democracy blossom by nurturing democratic values at the highest level, with highest commitment.'
Delivering the welcome address, Ms. Mohta, Chairperson, Board of Governors, shared, 'Convocation is not merely a ceremony, but a celebration of perseverance, learning, and transformation. Over the years, our rich legacy has fostered collaborations between academia and industry, ensuring our students are equipped not only with knowledge but with real-world insights, ethical grounding, and a global perspective. As future leaders, I urge you to bring integrity, inclusivity, and impact to every boardroom, start-up, and enterprise you become part of.'
Dr. Rajib shared, 'Your journey at this institute has equipped you to navigate the tectonic shifts in geopolitical alignments and technological breakthroughs that are reshaping our world at an unprecedented pace. As you step beyond the gates of this institution, carry with you the values of integrity, sustainable innovation, and inclusivity. May your journey ahead be marked by purpose, passion, and a commitment to creating value for society. Congratulations to each one of you, the future awaits your brilliance'.
Inspiring the students, Mr. Khaitan, Senior Partner (Dispute Resolution, Real Estate), Khaitan & Co, shared, 'I think you all have been born in Golden India. There is no limit to work, there is no time for work. You have to work diligently and hard. I would like you all to work very hard, but also be very credible, and only then will you be successful. If a fly lands on your shoulder, you quickly brush it away. But you should work on changing yourself from a fly into a butterfly. When a butterfly lands on someone, they admire it and want to keep it. So, aim to become someone who is valued and appreciated by others. Most importantly, never leave the side of your parents, mentors, friends, and teachers.'
The graduating batch consisted of a total 713 students including PGDM, PGDM (Retail Management), PGDM (Insurance Business Management), PGDM (International Business), PGDM-Online, and Executive Fellow Programme in Management. The ceremony also honoured academic achievements of 18 graduates with medals and cash prizes.
