It was an absolute privilege to attend the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Aditya Birla Scholarships at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai yesterday…

And an absolute pleasure to listen to the Chairman of the Group, Shri Kumar Mangalam Birla Sir, who gave the background of the scholarships and a brief description of the history of the Birla Group…

Also, a delight to listen to our Rockstar External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar… his wit, and repartee and that too with a mischievous smile… made the audience go ga ga over him again!

And yet another treat was the one hour masterclass by Prof. Michael Sandel, Professor of Political Philosophy from Harvard University, on the impact and role of money and markets on society… Add to that the interactions with some of the most high performing scholars who are at very high positions today, made it an evening worth traveling a million miles for! ( actually just to Mumbai 😀, but that was the value! ) An amazing evening indeed!

My sincere thanks to Dr. Pragnya Ram, Group Executive President – CSR, Legacy Documentation & Archives, Aditya Birla Group for her kind invitation! Hopefully, someday a Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune student will be one of the scholarship awardees!
