Mr. Subroto Bagchi rather took a tell-a-tale way while delivering the convocation address. He shared few instances from his life to underline the importance of empathy, inner and outer resilience, the traits which one has to develop along with the academic qualifications. Not undermining the importance of building a career, he insisted the students to realize the need of building institution. Go kiss the world – he flamboyantly wished congratulations to all the students who received the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM).
