It was a pleasure for us to have him on the occasion of convocation which was held on 14th Dec 2019. While addressing the students he wished them on this big day and started sharing insightful views related to career.
Mr. S. D. Shibulal highlighted the phase which students will be facing in the outside world. He made us understand the opportunities and competition which one has to face while bringing change in the outside world.
Mr. Shibulal explained how the company is strengthening its presence in three core areas: Business and IT Services, Consulting and Systems Integration, and Products, Platforms, and Solutions. He said, “Necessity is, of course, the mother of invention. It is also the mother of learning and change. Mr. Shibulal also emphasized the need for collective action that enables reusability and sharing of resources and knowledge between geographies. He added, “Our problems are very local – language, beliefs, culture. What works in one state may not work in another. However, at the same time, if these solutions are contextualized, they could be reused. It was such a pleasure and a wonderful moment for ISBR to have him for convocation. He not only gave motivation to the attendees but also showed a glimpse of the outside world through his words.
