Exactly 1 year ago, on the 28th of October, 2023, I took charge of the responsibility of the flagship Institute of Symbiosis, Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune.
Though the actual announcement was made on 23rd October, I took actual charge on the 28th, as I had to hand over charge of Nagpur first….
It has been an exhilarating year, full of excitement… where we at SIBM Pune have tried to drive growth in all respects, without compromising on the fundamentals of an educational institution – core academics, and research and publications.. we have tried to become a true knowledge partner for our corporate partners, building capacity for our corporate clients, where we added multiple new ones in the private as well as public sector, driven revenue growth for the Institute….
We have introduced more value additions for our students, which are relevant for the corporate world, and which have indeed impacted their summer internship performance hugely.. increased alumni engagement too, with so many distinguished alums visiting us and mentoring students, we have had an excellent year for admissions and Placements, NBA accreditation for our flagship program, jump in NIRF rankings to #13 in India in the Management Category…… so much has happened that it is almost impossible to list!
This would not have been possible without the strong and unequivocal support that we received from our beloved Chancellor, Dr. S.B. Mujumdar Sir, our Pro Chancellor, Dr. Vidya Yeravdekar Mam, our Vice Chancellor, Dr Ramakrishnan Raman and all our colleagues at SYMBIOSIS INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY and Symbiosis Society.. I must specifically thank Dr. Raman , who, as my predecessor in SIBM Pune as Director, laid such a strong foundation in the Institute.. it is because of the platform laid by him that we were able to build on the same..
I must thank all my faculty and staff colleagues, who have given me their full and complete support, and of course our wonderful students, especially all the Council members, who have become so close and attached to me… the strength of any institution is its students, and I consider myself blessed to have such strong, motivated, yet down to earth and focused students, for whom SIBM Pune is their world.. I consider myself truly blessed, and privileged to have received the opportunity and responsibility of heading my own Alma Mater!!
