At the end of the report, Dr. Prafulla Agnihotri invited the Guests of Honour and the Chairman to release the “Special Edition of the Institute Newsletter commemorating 5 years of IIM Trichy”. This special edition had been prepared by the faculty and students editorial team to commemorate the five glorious years since IIM Trichy’s inception. The publication captures the various milestones crossed, the initiatives implemented on various fronts and the awards and recognitions the institute has achieved over the years.It also highlights the steady growth in the placement figures across domains, the business events conducted on campus, the significant club activities and the noteworthy achievements of students, research scholars and faculty members.
Mr. Shivendu Nadkarni, the Guest of Honour began his speech with the quote “Success is a journey, not a destination”. He shared fours lessons (4 H’s) from his personal and work experience with the graduands. The first lesson being “Heart greater than Head”, he urged the students to use their heart along with the head. “Make trust your second nature, there will be a magical payback”, said Mr. Nadkarni. The next lesson that he mentioned was “Fuel your Hunger”. One needs to have a constant hunger to win, succeed and make a difference. Mr. Shivendu noted, “The two engines to fuel one’s hunger are Passion and Hardwork”. The third lesson that he shared was “Patrol your Health, Invest in wellness”. He stressed that one should focus on work and personal life balance. The final lesson was “Embrace Humility”, where he appraised the importance of listening to understand rather than to respond. He ended his address by entreating the students to enjoy the roller coaster ride of life.
The Guest of Honour, Mr.. D Shivakumar, in his address, reflected upon how fast the world has become today and how one needs multiple capabilities to get through a career. He further advised the graduates five things- focus on learning, invest in the community, keep being curious, listen more than you speak, and not to lose passion in life.
