Wisdom from the Wise

Over the last 8 months @ SPJIMR, I have had many opportunities to listen to people who have been transformational in their field of work. Some of the distinguished speakers so far:
Ajay Piramal (Chairman – Piramal Enterprises), Mahesh Murthy (Venture Capitalist and also a CEO), Rashmi Bansal (JAM Editor), Pascal Alan Nazareth (Managing Trustee, Sarvodaya International Trust)

All of them told us the way they have excelled in life and in whatever they did. They also shared with us their ups and downs. I sense two common attributes in all of them:
They all are deeply passionate about whatever they are doing.
They all have taken risks with a strong conviction.

We have also had guest lectures from many of the Industry experts which has been a good part of our learning.

I wish management graduates and laterals are recruited for roles that not only suit business requirements, but also ignite our passion.
