It gives me great pleasure to write this note. The joy can be compared to the feeling one has when one has crossed one more milestone in a great grand journey. The joy is heightened when the journey is towards a vision.

Last year we spoke about how ‘Actions speak louder than words’, and how we achieved some major milestones in our journey towards our vision. A major highlight was the dream completion of the grand infrastructure project, our jump in rankings and the global tie-ups. We realise that physical infrastructure and ambience is one thing; but the soul of a World Class Management Institute is in the strength of its Academics, Industry Interface, Global exposure for students and faculty. Add to that a competitive spirit on campus among students to excel in whatever they choose to pursue and developmental activities to build in the right attitude and values amongst students.

We have focused all our energies on working towards strengthening these areas. By initiating processes like mentoring, global internships, industry and international speaker sessions, encouraging in-house competitions and participation in inter-B-School competitions, guiding students on writing research papers and in-depth studies we are headed towards creating the spirit of “the joy of learning” on campus.

We have also paid special attention in developing the right attitude and outlook in our students. Special Programs, Unique methods – theatre workshops contribute to not only developing a sharp business mind but also a sound and complete personality. We strongly believe that a combination of both efforts will produce a unique breed of management graduates from Welingkar.

We set the pace last year, and the task this year was to beat the pace. We have made aggressive efforts in that direction this year, which takes our story of transformation ahead. We are very clear, that what we stand for is - aggressive consistent action towards our vision.

We also climbed further along rankings. The greatest recognition came from the Singapore-based Asia Inc, which ranked Welingkar 8th amongst all South Asian business schools. We still have a long way to go. But we surely are moving fast.
