In his convocation address, Justice Narendar stated, “You have earned your place through perseverance, discipline and determination, with each degree reflecting resilience and effort. Do not be afraid of taking risks early in your career, for growth rarely happens within comfort, and true success lies in what you contribute. The difference between power and impact lies in values ask yourself whether your decisions will uplift others, whether you will lead with integrity, and whether you will stand firm in difficult moments. In life, you will often face shades of grey, and it is your intellect and morals that must guide you to choose what is right.”
Kamal Poddar congratulated the graduating cohort, emphasising that the real journey begins beyond campus where self-motivation and adaptability are essential. Highlighting India’s growth potential, he encouraged students to seize opportunities and lead with purpose, affirming “IIM” Integrity, Innovation, and Motivation as the foundation for lasting success.
