Chief Guest, Shri Rakesh Verma addressed the post-graduating students “Over time, the trajectories of each will start to move differently, some will go on to do very well, some better than average and some may not be able to navigate their careers to their satisfaction. What may be those differentiating factors that will allow you to shine. The dos and don’ts. You can find many such from so many channels of information available today.” He shared a few pointers to bring focused prospective at this point i.e., Your dependability – Your Reputation – You have a clean slate when you are starting out but soon your actions will speak louder than work and your reputation will start taking shape. And opportunities flow from your reputation. You will not be taken seriously if you are not viewed as being dependable; Innovate, Innovate, Innovate – it’s about building upon existing ideas, enhancing processes, and pushing boundaries.; Dealing with Challenges – Embrace the challenges without getting demoralized or demotivated by these roadblocks; Seek Mentors – seek out mentors who can guide and inspire you; Culture of your Organisation – The culture of an organization is like its unique fingerprint, crafted by the collective beliefs, values, and behaviours of its members ; It is all about people – your success is intrinsically tied to how you build your team, and the positive impact you are able to create in the lives of your team members.”
Dr. Vinayshil Gautam, Vice Chairman while proposing a vote of thanks, addressed the guests that “ Over the years, FSM have been evolving and also made progress. But, few of the dots have become constant such as creating dependability. He concluded the convocation by quoting “You must be willing to dare if you wish to become an entrepreneur. Risk taking is necessary for profit maximization.”
