Speaking at the convocation ceremony, Shetty said, “The world in which or the world which was when you joined the IIM Shillong and the world how it is now when you are graduating are dramatically different. The world has turned upside down due to Covid. 100 years from now if a historian is going to write the history of the world, there would be two distinct periods, one is BC, that is, before covid, and the second is AC that is after covid. To be successful in life, to make a difference, to make this world a better place to live in, you have to think different.”
“Whatever you do in your life, remember that the power of your purpose is more important than all the other strategies combined. So, try to choose a purpose by which you can make this world a better place to live in”, he further added.
Chairman of the Board of Governors, Shishir Kumar Bajoria, while congratulating the students and the faculty members said, “While working further on you and on your career goals, always remember the values, we have all realized during the ongoing times, the value for caring for each other. Sensitivity to human needs, to the community needs, and the country’s needs."
