JBIMS, Mumbai Concludes its Annual Corporate Symposium "Samanvay'09"

Constant monitoring and improvement in the quality of education imparted will surely help raise the literacy levels in the country. He reiterated that if the necessary steps were taken, it would have a domino effect on the entire education and training industry and India could re-awaken to a literate and empowered populace.

He also exhorted students to free their minds of biases and inhibitions, especially in light of a situation where corporates need young managers to spearhead their rural forays. Lastly, he reminded the students never to let go of their ethics, nor to forget the thrill of creating something new. ,

The second speaker for the event was Mr. Rajiv Naik. In addition to being the co-owner and a partner of Sumati Global Partners, he has over 18 years of experience with originating, structuring and executing business development propositions for blue chip organizations. His stint with corporates includes an eight year stretch with Royal Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh. He is a member of the Edinburgh Chambers of Commerce and The Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE (UK). Having been closely involved with both blue chip firms as well as the top business colleges in Edinburgh he was able to impart his insights on the competencies that constitute a global manager. He noted that the students with their keen understanding of the changing economic scenario, reflection of positivity in their thinking, advanced social behavior patterns and their capability to connect with reality and thinking would surely go a long way. He emphasized that this was the time for re-awakening and moving away from the economics of greed and fear, and instead focusing on wealth creation. The need of the hour was young entrepreneurs. He urged the students to understand, explore and do something original. He also shared his thoughts on what he felt had helped young entrepreneurs start successful ventures, drawing on his association with TiE, the global non profit organization dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship.

The event ended with an elaborate round of questions & answers with Mr. Naik. The audience were witness to an extremely informative and inspiring session. Samanvay 2009 was indeed an event to cherish.

Concluded.
