But as they say "Picture abhi baki hai mere dost!" The finest lesson was yet to come and in came our Cheif Guest, Mr. Vikas Gupta who works as M.D-Talent, Delloite consulting India Pvt Limited. A very lively person who gave us an equation to remember not only for this 2 years but for throughout our professional career. E=mc^2, physics equation Right? Well, actually not exactly right. The equation certainly needs no introduction. As cited earlier that this is the 4th industrial revolution going on, it has become evident that managers need to be equipped to connect technology with an organization. And thus the equation can be amplified to Experimentation = Mindset X Communication^2. A manager needs to be open to Experimentation, should have the positive or entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to communicate. It's his own version of the equation and an important Mantra in today's competitive environment to remember.
With this we came to the vote of thanks by Dr. Vinodh Madhavan, PGP Chairperson at IFMR and his address had a deep meaning. He explained us the importance of using unlimited resources available to us wisely and to be at our best every day for the coming next 2 years. The inauguration was something that went way above what I thought it to be. It wasn't just a routine inauguration that any b-school has. It was much more than that in a very short span of time and believe me all this inauguration part was not even half of our opening day schedule! This conversation explained me and I hope everyone around the importance of what we are and what we can achieve by keeping things simple.
