The inauguration of the new batch took place in the presence of IIM Indore BoG chairperson MM Murugappan and director Prof Himanshu Rai. In his address, Murugappan encouraged the students to make the most of their time, learn from each other, and find ways to contribute to the nation.

Touching upon the global landscape, Murugappan described it as an interesting and challenging time. He acknowledged the prevalence of violence and counter-violence, highlighting the shifting geopolitical dimensions that would impact both the students’ future careers and the world at large.

“In this changing scenario, make sure to remain curious, continuously learn, and reflect on the implications of these changes. These will also help you admire India’s resilience,” he said. He recognised India’s aspirations as a young nation and the favorable demographic factors that presented significant opportunities for both the nation and the world.

“While neighboring regions face difficulties, India has been emerging as a leader, and thus the importance of students like you grows as well, for you will be leading the nation’s future once you graduate,” he said. In his address, Rai highlighted the presence of world-class faculty members who would provide the students with exceptional guidance.

“We are dedicated to nurturing socially conscious managers and leaders who would actively contribute to nation-building, environmental protection, and sustainability,” he added.
