XIMB Celebrates 16th Convocation, Awards Degrees to 303 Students

"India will become the biggest back office of the world and it will become the third largest economy of the world only after US and China. By 2020, India will have about 60 million cars, 400 million air traffic passengers, 700 million phone connections, 200 Indian MNC, adult literacy of 95% and contribution of services and industry of about 94% to the country's GDP.

These all will happen at a time when you all will be deeply involved in building a strong and vibrant India," said Mr. Kaul. He gave clear message to the graduating students to be prepared for the challenges ahead as India will be the fastest growing country for another two decades at least.

Delivering convocation address at XIMB, the Chief Guest, Subodh Bhargava said, "You are just out from the most enjoyable phase of the life and going to begin a new life, where each one of you have huge expectations, fantasies and apprehensions about the future. At this juncture, let me remind you that some dreams in the life come true and some do not. There will always be some good news and some bad news and unlike case studies you will never get a clear picture and complete data to analyze. Let me tell you the real life is very ambiguous and uncertain as change is only constant and uncertainty is only certain in this world."

Sharing industry insights about the management graduates, Mr. Bhargava said, "Perhaps the first challenge you will face is of the industry's perception about management graduates. Industry people perceive that an MBA graduate has great analysis power by which they mean that he is not practical in his approach. Secondly, he is a good manager and highly independent which means interpersonal skills need to be sharpened. According to them, a management graduate insulates himself or herself to the external environment and not associated much with ground reality of the society." He recommended students to be prepared to face such situations very soon.
