Welcome Address to batch of 2011-2013 by the Alumni

The start of any academic year is marked by welcoming new students to the college and giving them an insight to how life would be in and after college. At NMIMS this year, this task was taken up and successfully done by Mr. Tarun Bhargava for the first year students and Mr. Ramaswamy for the second year students.

Mr. Tarun Bhargava is an alumnus of NMIMS, 1991-93 batch, and is currently working as the CFO - Future Corporate Resources Limited. He graced the orientation ceremony for the new batch of students with his presence and talked to the students about how the next two years would help them shape their career. Mr. Bhargava reminisced about his college days and while talking to students he told them the importance of being themselves and learning to set a long term objective in mind while making decisions. Mr. Bhargava was more than happy to answer the questions that the young minds put to him thus making the session interactive and vibrant.

The inauguration ceremony for the second year was graced by Mr. Krishnan‟s presence. Mr. Ramaswamy Krishnan is an NMIMS belonging to the batch of 1990-1992. He is the Director and Head of Aspire Infinite. Mr. Krishnan talked to the second year students about entrepreneurship and the challenges he faced while pursuing his dream of building an organization. Mr. Krishnan enlightened the students about the not so rosy part of entrepreneurship and how it requires constant effort and resilience to start up a new venture. He said that it was the belief in himself and support he got from people around him that he could actually take a plunge and go for opening a new venture after leaving a comfortable job. He answered the questions posed by students enthusiastically and encouraged students to follow their heart however challenging it might be.

Both these sessions received an enthusiastic response from the students who were happy to gain insights from the experiences of the esteemed speakers. The students and management both appreciated the alumni taking time out of their schedule to interact with them.
