Today marks not just an end but a beautiful beginning. During my time at NMIMS, I faced my share of ups and downs, including failing econometrics. But I returned after five years and passed! That experience taught me resilience. Remember, success is not about never falling, but about rising every time you do.”
He further spoke about his learning journey and career, thereby uplifting students in shaping their lives. His words created an echo in the hearts of everyone, “Today, I serve with The Akshaya Patra Foundation, where we feed over 2 million children daily. Once, a boy told me our meals helped him stay in school and become an engineer. That day, I truly understood happiness – not the kind that comes from wealth or status, but from making a difference. So my message to you is this: chase purpose, not just paychecks. Money will follow. Keep your values intact – integrity and empathy never go out of style! Lastly, remember, happiness moves in circles. What you give will always find its way back to you. Go out there, make a difference, and live a life full of purpose and pride. Wishing you all success, joy and a meaningful life ahead.”
