23-Oct-2021
On 23rd Oct’2021, the 10th & 11th Graduation Day for the Bachelor of Engineering students passed out in the year 2020 and 2021 was held in the Campus in the presence of Guests of Honour - Mr. Suyog Shetty, CEO, Niveus Solutions and Mr. Raman Madhok, Managing Director of Kahani Designworks.
Dr. Manjappa Sarathi, Director-R&D and Consultancy welcomed the gathering and also shared a glimpse of Sahyadri with its growth story since its inception. He expressed that this day will be one of the greatest days in the history of Sahyadri as we have both - the Management Professional and a Technocrat felicitating the Graduates.
Moving on, Mr. Suyog Shetty, while addressing the graduates, recalled the challenging situation during the last 2 years and how this pandemic has created opportunities at large especially for Engineering graduates and congratulated them on graduating from such an esteemed institution like Sahyadri. He urged the graduates to focus on three things during the early part of their career – Bring in clarity on what you want to achieve, once you figure it out start working on it and finally, get right experience on what you want to achieve.
Next, Mr. Raman Madhok spoke to the graduates giving reference to his 40 years of experience. He said - Like we have large number of people to pick us up, there are equal numbers of people to pull us down, hence the Mantra - “Design the life you love”. He stressed on being Creative by referring to a Venn Diagram of Wants and Needs circle and the intersection of that is Creativity. Before you go to sleep, introspect on what you have done and how many lives you have touched. Question the things – “What if?” and attack the continuously changing landscape of the ecosystem around you. In his concluding remarks, he encouraged the graduates to seek advice, request feedback and ask for help in order to succeed. Sahyadri has equipped the students with their Engineering degree; however it’s their own attitude that makes them contribute to the world.
