This year, an inspiring lineup of leaders and visionaries joined the inaugural ceremony to share their wisdom, igniting confidence, innovation, and purpose in every student.
Dr. Akhil Prasad, Board Member, Group General Counsel, Company Secretary at Boeing India, graced the occasion as the chief guest. In his address, he said, “People will always have a perception about you, but criticism, whether positive or negative, students should always embrace feedback as a means of growth and self-improvement.” He emphasised that while stepping into the real-world industry brings opportunities, it also presents challenges, and success lies in maintaining an open mind, seeking feedback, and taking corrective measures to continually evolve.
Highlighting the qualities of future leaders, he further said, “ Professional success is not confined to merely holding a degree but depends on being a problem solver with a ‘can-do’ approach, an openness to lifelong learning, and the ability to reinvent oneself.” He urged students to follow their passion and heart, while also maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
Mr. Hari Krishnan, Managing Director, Content & Groupé Marcomm, Publicis Groupé India, joined as a Distinguished Guest at Deeksharambh 2025 and shared thought-provoking insights with the incoming batch. Encouraging students to live in the present, he remarked, “Am I living in the Now? It is only in the Now that you begin shaping the real future.” He urged them to develop themselves as well-rounded individuals—a holistic 360-degree version of themselves—and to embark on a journey of self-discovery. He advised students to find their uniqueness rather than being confined by labels, and to embrace a culture of questioning, as “it is these questions that will guide you through life.”
Mr. R.
Mr. Ramanan emphasised that this is the time of opportunity for students to shape their destinies by adopting a problem-solving mindset. He encouraged them to dare to dream and dream to dare—to dream big without fear and nurture curiosity, as it is curiosity that ignites problem-solving skills.
