Chairman Emeritus of Infosys, Mr N.R. Narayana Murthy, was optimistic that India will sail through the current global crisis.
“This is a bad phase for the global economy, but I am confident that the Indian economy will grow stronger with time,” he said after conferring P-G degrees on IFIM Business School students here on Friday.
Addressing the graduating students, Mr Murthy highlighted the importance of global managers in corporates worldwide and enumerated the attributes of a successful leader.
“In today’s world, competition is intense and the opportunities huge and daunting because of globalisation.
The need of the hour is to become a good global manager and every student needs to develop the skill set to become a successful manager,” he said.
Mr Murthy said that being a great global manager means being a good leader, being open to learning, the ability to operate in multi-cultural teams and being a good communicator.
He also said that one must be global in aspirations, but local in execution and be conversant and up-to-date with the latest technologies.
A total of 193 PGDM students of the 2010-12 batch were conferred with post-graduate degrees.
Neha Agarwal received the Juniper Networks Award For Best Student–PGDM and Sneha V., bagged the Titan Industries Award For Best All-Round Performance.
“The placement cycle saw companies from across sectors - from banking to retail and analytics to IT.
Two students also received international placement offers from Expat Group, Dubai,” Prof Bramh Prakash Pethiya, director, IFIM Business School, said.
