Dr. Pankaj Gupta, President, IIHMR University said that he can see a lot of energy, lot of hope, lot of passion here and also a great welcome to all his very wonderful colleagues and all the dignitaries. When you are chill, when you are having no tension, the best things happen in your life. If you have a learning attitude you will have so many opportunities to learn from each other and to grow in life.  Always go in the right direction with a restful mind and know yourself pretty well before setting your goal,

Azhar Kazmi said he is happy to see an increased number of female students enrolling for the MBA program. He believes one day we have to reserve seats for men, and it is good as it is reversing the biasness of centuries. In private sectors, long term careers are not available and he is surprised to see younger people that they are not even looking at long term career and at the same time companies are also adopting short term perspective unfortunately in some way. Azhar Kazmi went on to add a list of organizational skills that companies/ institutes are looking at while hiring, thus providing some excellent tips to the new students, who sat there, ready to learn the intricacies of the trade.

He added that recruiters are looking at set of skills and these set of skills are a mix of skills and challenge. Students from 20 states have been admitted into IIHMR. And in the future, you will see that where you guys are working, it will also turn out to be a cosmopolitan, so IIHMR is preparing you for that phase already. This level of diversity is extremely good for management students. Try to build up a global mindset. Build teamwork ability; work on organizational & communication skills.
