- 32:51attitude, it's going to be an enjoyable,
- 32:55fulfilling, and delightfully challenging
- 32:59journey. It will be challenging. All
- 33:01right? Without challenge, we can thrive.
- 33:06But it can be delightfully challenging
- 33:10with the right attitude.
- 33:15And how would you make this journey?
- 33:19How would you journey through
- 33:22this wonderful thing that you want to
- 33:24be?
- 33:29When is the fastest you've ever learned
- 33:32in your life? When is the fastest you've
- 33:34ever learned in your life? When you were
- 33:36a kid, right?
- 33:38The fastest learning happens between the
- 33:41ages 0 to three. How did you do all that
- 33:44learning? Through just one thing and
- 33:48that is curiosity.
- 33:51Bring back that curiosity. If you've
- 33:54lost it, bring it back. If it's if it's
- 33:57been there, then that is your best
- 33:58friend. Keep it as your best friend. Ask
- 34:02why. Ask why not. and you first learned
- 34:06to say a few words or walk the walk and
- 34:08talk the talk, right?
- 34:12You were amazingly delighted. I think I
- 34:16have parents who can vouch for that.
- 34:18They probably remember when you first
- 34:21said those sweet words, amma, dada,
- 34:25nana. Yes. Apa.
- 34:31So that joy of learning
- 34:34bring that back into your lives again.
- 34:37Life is a joy but learning is even more
- 34:41enjoyable.
- 34:44Without learning we cannot thrive and
- 34:47the day we stop learning we stop living.
- 34:54So and learning is like you know
- 34:56nourishment. You cannot eat a lot of
- 34:59food at once and digest. Learning is
- 35:02best done in nibbles,
- 35:05bits and nibbles and bites. So you take
- 35:09a little bit and then you digest it. So
- 35:12my advice is learn continuously. Learn
- 35:15every day. Find time to learn every day
- 35:17amongst the rest of the things that
- 35:19happen for your holistic development.
- 35:22Make time for your learning. Indirect
- 35:24learning as well as direct learning.
- 35:30And can you make a commitment to
- 35:31lifelong learning? I'm still learning.
- 35:34I've never stopped learning. And I'd
- 35:36like to say that till I die, I will be
- 35:39learning.
- 35:42How else would you make this journey
- 35:45to that wonderful thing you want to be?
- 35:48Look around you. Identify the problems.
- 35:52And where others see problems, what do
- 35:55you see? You should see opportunities.
- 35:59Opportunities to solve those problems.
- 36:03But before you put your problemsolving
- 36:05hat on, hone your skills on how to
- 36:09identify a problem, how to state a
- 36:12problem, how to first understand the
- 36:14problem and how to state the problem,
- 36:17right? And then you put your problem
- 36:19solving hats on.
- 36:22And and what else would you do through
- 36:25this journey?
- 36:27Research, research, research.
- 36:31Uncover, discover, and recover.
- 36:36Internet is a great library at the tips
- 36:39of your fingers. Internet can be used
- 36:40for many things, but research and
- 36:44learning and understanding
- 36:47are the primary things that it ought to
- 36:49be used for.
- 36:55Okay. And then I want to say now if you
- 36:59go through this journey while you go
- 37:01through this journey do not lose your
- 37:04empathy, your human touch and your
- 37:07camaraderie.
- 37:10So with the human touch and with your
- 37:13intelligence, you can conquer the world.
- 37:20Now you are my fellow technologists and
- 37:23fellow computer science engineers and
- 37:25scientists.
- 37:28So you are to create not just use the
- 37:31tools.
- 37:33Long before you were born there were
- 37:35calculators and computers. But when you
- 37:39went to school did you stop learning
- 37:42arithmetic tables or addition? Now if I
- 37:45ask you 7 * 8,
- 37:49I won't ask you 7 x 8. There's probably
- 37:51a practical problem where you have to
- 37:53multiply 7 by 8. Would you look up the
- 37:56internet or do take out your calculator?
- 37:59I hope not. I hope you're, you know,
- 38:02quick enough to get that answer in the
- 38:04mind. Right? See, knowledge needs to be
- 38:07absorbed. Knowledge is at our fingertips
- 38:09today, which is good. But you need to
- 38:12absorb the knowledge in your heart, in
- 38:15your mind for dis better decision
- 38:17making. You don't want to be running to
- 38:20tools all the time.
- 38:23Tools are great. I use them all the
- 38:25time. But the tools should not become
- 38:29you. They should not overtake you.
- 38:35Okay? So if you are just the sum of the
- 38:40tools that are created by others, you'll
- 38:43just be a robot. You'll just be a
- 38:45cyborg.
- 38:47No, I want to be I want you to be a
- 38:49human. I want to be a human. I want to
- 38:51be that imperfect human with the lot of
- 38:55creativity.
- 38:58There are things that only I can solve.
- 39:00They're things that only I can achieve
- 39:03because of the intelligence that I have.
- 39:07Because of the intelligence I honed,
- 39:10not just by using the tools, but by
- 39:13using my brain.
- 39:17That's what I want you to say to me.
- 39:21So yes, use away the chat GPT, use away
- 39:24the AI, use away all those wonderful
- 39:27apps that you have, but don't let them
- 39:29take over you.
- 39:33Your emotion, your humanity, your
- 39:35intelligence. Preserve that.
- 39:39So create with me. Don't succumb.
- 39:43If I go write an essay using a Chad GPT,
- 39:47it will be Chad GPT who's talking. It
- 39:50won't be me.
- 39:54I'm certainly not talking to you today
- 39:56by looking at chat GPT.
- 39:59And that's me, the imperfect me that is
- 40:01talking to you. But that's the beautiful
- 40:04side, right? It's me, not just something
- 40:08that somebody wrote to learn, but you
- 40:12create with me such tools that will
- 40:15enrich human lives.
- 40:20Okay.
- 40:22And I you know how many of you felt what
- 40:25a beautiful campus it is.
- 40:30Okay. We have a beautiful campus. Thanks
- 40:33to everybody who did it that way. But I
- 40:37look around the freshers have started
- 40:39coming in. The campus started getting a
- 40:42little dirtier.
- 40:44Sorry to say.
- 40:46But yeah, maybe because the crowds are
- 40:50huge right now with, you know, with
- 40:52every student that's coming and there
- 40:53are also parents and relatives and so
- 40:55on. The the crowds are huge. But when
- 40:57the dust settles, I want you to own the
- 41:00campus. It is your campus. It's not just
- 41:03ours. It's your campus. Keep it clean.
- 41:07Keep it clean in more than one word.
- 41:10Okay? Do not litter. Do not spit. But
- 41:13keep it clean in other senses of the
- 41:15word too.
- 41:17Be respectful to each other. Be
- 41:20respectful to the environment. Recycle,
- 41:24reuse, and restore.
- 41:28And be respectful to your
- 41:31be respectful to your teachers, the
- 41:34officers of the university, the people
- 41:38each and every one of us who work here
- 41:40and your colleagues, your fellow
- 41:43students, your juniors, I mean when they
- 41:45come and your seniors be respectful of
- 41:48all of them.
- 41:51So never lose sight of that humanity in
- 41:54you, the friendships and then the
- 41:56camaraderie
- 41:58and respect your mental health and
- 42:01physical health. We have great resources
- 42:05for physical health as well as mental
- 42:07health. We have counselors. Dr. Rita is
- 42:10sitting right there. If you could ma'am,
- 42:12stand up. Thank you. And there are uh
- 42:15she has a set of uh very empathetic
- 42:20individuals.
- 42:22If we have an ailment, we go to a
- 42:24doctor. If we have a problem with our,
- 42:27you know, mental health, could be that I
- 42:30have lot of stress. Could be that I have
- 42:33a dilemma.
- 42:35So if I need help, I should see a friend
- 42:38or I should free feel free to go to the
- 42:40counselors. Nothing wrong with that.
- 42:43Please use those resources and uh please
- 42:46use them well.
- 42:49And um talking about respect to the
- 42:53colleagues, I want to say one thing
- 42:56while you go through all this journey,
- 42:59there is a visible and invisible team
- 43:01behind you.

- 46:38good morning everyone.
- 46:41It's an absolute pleasure. Thank you.
- 46:43It's an absolute pleasure to be here uh
- 46:46because VIT holds a very very special
- 46:49place in my heart. I think I have been
- 46:52coming to this university for more than
- 46:55a decade. I started for the first time I
- 46:58was here when I was working with eBay
- 47:00then with Cisco and now with Flipkart
- 47:02and what has not changed is the quality
- 47:06of talent that I get to hire for my
- 47:08business and also uh collaborate.
- 47:12Okay, sorry. And also I think uh a very
- 47:15warm and collaborative culture of this
- 47:17institution which uh makes me feel home
- 47:21every time I'm here. Um today is all the
- 47:24more special because I get to talk to
- 47:27all of you as you start and begin your
- 47:29journey. And I believe for most of you
- 47:32students uh this must be first time that
- 47:34you're stepping away from home, stepping
- 47:36away from your uh familiar faces,
- 47:39familiar routines, people, family and
- 47:42everything. And uh there's bunch of I'm
- 47:45sure uh feelings, anxiety of what's
- 47:48unknown, excitement of what's new. And
- 47:51it's completely okay to feel that way.
- 47:53And to all the parents, I see you as
- 47:56well. I understand your emotions. But
- 47:58trust me, you have made the right
- 48:01decision because this university will
- 48:03not just help uh nurture the talent from
- 48:06an academic excellence perspective, but
- 48:08also help them be a better version of
- 48:11themsel, be more confident.
- 48:14And to all the students out there, take
- 48:16a deep breath. It's okay to feel that
- 48:18way. It's okay to feel nervous because
- 48:20new environment makes you feel that way.
- 48:23But in couple of weeks, you'll start
- 48:25developing new uh routines. You'll start
- 48:28finding new friends, new set of people.
- 48:30You'll start discovering your strengths,
- 48:32your purpose. And this same campus will
- 48:35make you feel your very own safe place.
- 48:38So, it's completely comfortable to uh
- 48:41feel that way. So, don't be hard on
- 48:43yourself. Don't rush through it because
- 48:46growth takes time. And magic happens
- 48:49when you let yourself relax. Take it at
- 48:52your own pace. Now when you're starting
- 48:54your complete education journey, right,
- 48:57your academia, you will find lot of
- 49:00opportunities. Now along with
- 49:01opportunity, you'll also find lot of
- 49:03distractions. And my advice to you is
- 49:06please stay focused, stay curious and
- 49:09most important stay grounded because it
- 49:11is very very important for all of you.
- 49:14Don't just focus on uh finishing your
- 49:17exams or passing through them or just
- 49:19completing your assignments. Focus on
- 49:21real learning. Go a layer deeper and
- 49:24understands the concept. It's very very
- 49:26important. Participate in a lot of uh
- 49:30real work industry projects. Do
- 49:32internship and please don't wait for
- 49:34these internship in your final year.
- 49:36Internships today starts from first
- 49:39year. participate in various contest
- 49:41hackathons that industry is organizing
- 49:43because this will further help the uh
- 49:45bridge the gap between industry and
- 49:47academia and help you come closer to
- 49:50your aspirations also there are various
- 49:52clubs that a lot of universities and bit
- 49:55also have join those clubs participate
- 49:57in event all of these co-curricular
- 49:59activity also helps you and if there is
- 50:01an E cell don't think twice please go
- 50:04and join that because most of the
- 50:06innovation happen actually in dorm rooms
- 50:08and college halls hostel and not in
- 50:10boardrooms and maximum amount of
- 50:13learning happens outside your notebooks
- 50:16outside your classrooms. They happen
- 50:18through experimentation, teamwork and
- 50:20also through failure.
- 50:22I actually have a homework for all of
- 50:24you for all the students. I want you to
- 50:26find answer for three questions very
- 50:29very important. So stay focused. First
- 50:31question for which I want you to find
- 50:33answer is what is your personality type?
- 50:36When I say personality, what comes very
- 50:39naturally to you? Are you somebody who
- 50:41is a great influencer or are you
- 50:44negotiating really well? Are you a good
- 50:46adviser? Are you a creative person?
- 50:49There are various HR tools out there in
- 50:51uh social media. You can find one.
- 50:53Answer a series of psychometric
- 50:55questions that will help you identify
- 50:56your personality or reach out to your
- 50:59favorite professor, your mentors if you
- 51:01have your parents, anybody who whom you
- 51:04look up to to help you find the answer
- 51:06for this question. Second question for
- 51:08which you need to find answer is what is
- 51:11your skill type? Is there a particular
- 51:14technology or a domain that really
- 51:15excites you? Is Java, Python your thing?
- 51:17Is security as a domain that excites
- 51:19you? Right? Are you more inclined
- 51:22towards customer centric roles or a
- 51:25business facing roles? Right? Uh find
- 51:27answer to all of these questions. Is
- 51:29something around sales comes very
- 51:31naturally to you? Do you want to be part
- 51:33of sales organization and future? And
- 51:36third question for which you need to
- 51:37find answer is where are these skills
- 51:40needed? Is there a particular
- 51:42organization that will help you get
- 51:43there? And when I say organization
- 51:46whether a established organization which
- 51:49is really really old 30 40 years old uh
- 51:52company or a startup will help you get
- 51:55there or an entrepreneurship route will
- 51:57help you get there. Once you have answer
- 52:00to all these three question the sweet
- 52:02interjection spot of your personality
- 52:04versus your skills and where there is
- 52:06need is your focus area. Not just from
- 52:09an academic perspective but also from an
- 52:11industry perspective. that will again
- 52:13like I said help you bridge that gap. So
- 52:16please please work and find answer to
- 52:18all of these questions. I also want to
- 52:20share with all of you couple of elements
- 52:23that will that are very important in the
- 52:26industry and even in your academia. One
- 52:28is um what is uh uh your learnability.
- 52:33Now as a hiring manager as a HR leader
- 52:36if I have to hire somebody I don't just
- 52:38hire bases what you know. I also hire
- 52:41what you can learn and it is a very very
- 52:43important skill today because in the
- 52:45fast changing environment learning on
- 52:47the go has become need of the hour and
- 52:50let's be honest if I were to uh kind of
- 52:53differentiate between skill versus will
- 52:55skill we can teach you will comes from
- 52:58within we cannot teach you so focus also
- 53:01on learning how to learn it is very very
- 53:04important
- 53:05I also want to throw light on um how
- 53:09industry is recruiting today especially
- 53:12university recruiting most of the hiring
- 53:14has become very very democratic and when
- 53:17I say that and even Flipkart is doing
- 53:19that my previous company uh we were
- 53:21doing that at Cisco as well because we
- 53:24believe talent exists everywhere it does
- 53:27not reside only in tier one tier 2
- 53:30cities tier one tier 2 colleges it's
- 53:32found everywhere right so industry
- 53:35believes in how we can create a level
- 53:37playing field so irrespective of
- 53:39background, your university, your GPA,
- 53:41your specialization, you can come and
- 53:43apply for opportunity. Nobody is
- 53:45stopping you. So whether you are from
- 53:47IIT, whether you're from VIT or any
- 53:50other college, whether you are from
- 53:52civil branch, chemical branch or
- 53:53computer science specialization, you all
- 53:56can go and apply for job of what
- 53:58interest you. All industry is doing is I
- 54:02have a job, I need this skill skill set
- 54:04and I have created a bar. Do you clear
- 54:07my assessment process, my test? Do you
- 54:10clear my interview rounds? If yes, then
- 54:12yes, you have the job. And all of this
- 54:14is done to democratize the hiring to
- 54:17make it more inclusive. I'm sure a lot
- 54:19of you would have heard companies saying
- 54:21we are very inclusive uh from a culture
- 54:24perspective. And this inclusion is now
- 54:25coming to recruitment as well to create
- 54:28a level playing field where talent is
- 54:31identified bases their skill and not the
- 54:33background that they come from. And
- 54:35don't mistake me when I say that uh that
- 54:37you are in VIT your college does not
- 54:39matter or your GPA does not matter. All
- 54:41I'm saying is when you join the VIT
- 54:43while VIT is going to invest in helping
- 54:46you be who you can you also need to put
- 54:50an equal efforts to learn at the same
- 54:52time. And when I talk about GPA that
- 54:55does not mean you cram and then you get
- 54:57those scores and learn on the go. All we
- 55:00are saying is understand the concepts
- 55:03and GPA will follow you. Don't follow
- 55:06the GPA and it is very very important
- 55:08skill that is required today. Um I also
- 55:11want to talk about another area apart
- 55:14from your uh learnability. If I were to
- 55:16ask you all today, how many of you have
- 55:19a great idea in the past? I'm sure 70 to
- 55:2280% of you will raise hand. Oh yes, I
- 55:25had that great amazing idea. But how
- 55:28many of you have executed that idea?
- 55:31Maybe less than 5% who have executed and
- 55:33bought that to closure. Now this is the
- 55:37new superpower of your academia, new
- 55:40superpower of your industry. Because if
- 55:44you know what you know today will help
- 55:46you. But if you have a great idea, you
- 55:49don't execute, then it's just a dream.
- 55:51It's just a fancy thought. But if you
- 55:53don't have an idea and you have power of
- 55:55execution, you will go somewhere. So
- 55:58start today because even a small step
- 56:01will land will land you somewhere. Uh at
- 56:04least you'll not be here where you are
- 56:05today. And with that, I have some
- 56:08message for parents. Firstly, thank you
- 56:11for trusting this university and thank
- 56:13you for trusting your children. Now that

- 56:18they are here. Please continue to
- 56:20encourage them. uh uh continue to guide
- 56:23them, give them all the support. Uh when
- 56:26you call them, talk about what they're
- 56:27learning, talk about what they're
- 56:29exploring, don't just ask about their
- 56:31marks and scores because your love and
- 56:34their determination will help them do
- 56:36wonders in their academic journey. And
- 56:39also to all the students out there, how
- 56:42your academia, how your career will

- 56:57always do the right thing because right
- 57:00is right even if nobody is doing that
- 57:03and wrong is wrong even if everybody is

- 1:01:33With that I want to welcome the
- 1:01:37respected chancellor my fatherly figure

- 1:01:49curriculum. She was leading the MCA
- 1:01:51during that time. She sharers was taking

- 1:02:38500,000 people as Sandy madam said that
- 1:02:40this is the largest crowd I've been
- 1:02:42addressed little bit scare scariness is
- 1:02:44there in me but at the same time there's
- 1:02:46a lot of confidence and lot of um proud
- 1:02:49moment for me being as a VAT and also
- 1:02:51being as an industry in here I just want
- 1:02:53to give some um inputs in terms of what
- 1:02:56the engineering is all about when you're
- 1:02:58stepping in the institute it's not about
- 1:03:00the curriculum it's beyond the classroom
- 1:03:03what you're all going to enjoy here It's
- 1:03:05about the camaraderie what you're going
- 1:03:07to have with your classmates, with your
- 1:03:10clubmates, with your professors, and
- 1:03:13with your management over the next four
- 1:03:15years. You're not going to only study
- 1:03:17here. You're also going to get into a
- 1:03:20full-fledged engineer where you're going
- 1:03:22to look into solving some of the real
- 1:03:25world problems where we all going
- 1:03:26through. Let me give you a little bit of
- 1:03:29an
- 1:03:30um statistics or data point in terms of
- 1:03:33where India has been positioned in the
- 1:03:35global era. Maybe you would have heard a
- 1:03:37lot of things data from our other
- 1:03:39analyst also. India now the world's most
- 1:03:42population country with over 1.4 billion
- 1:03:45people. We have surpassed China couple
- 1:03:48of years back.
- 1:03:50Our youthfulness population median age
- 1:03:52is under 30. We are all part of the
- 1:03:55journey. You are you are part of the
- 1:03:56journey. You're going to make a huge
- 1:03:58difference in that youth. Unlike the
- 1:04:01western countries where they have been
- 1:04:03declining in terms of birth rates,
- 1:04:05India's largest population is on the
- 1:04:07youth with lot of talent, ambition,
- 1:04:10energy and innovation. You are among the
- 1:04:13core. The youngest population has
- 1:04:15phenomenal energy in front of them to
- 1:04:18solve not just our problems in our
- 1:04:20country. It's also you are meant to
- 1:04:22solve for the problems across the
- 1:04:25universe.
- 1:04:26India is no longer participating in the
- 1:04:28technologies. You have been hearing that
- 1:04:31the westerns the western companies or
- 1:04:33western countries started looking as how
- 1:04:35India is going to lead in technologies.
- 1:04:37In fact we have been leading some of the
- 1:04:39technologies on the fintech AI
- 1:04:43um technologies around quantum
- 1:04:45computing. We have started leading it.
- 1:04:47You you would have seen some of the
- 1:04:49platforms what this countries has
- 1:04:51developed the Aadhaar
- 1:04:53the identification platform the UPI
- 1:04:56digil locker I don't know how many of
- 1:04:58you guys use digil locker every
- 1:05:00certificates all the licensing insurance
- 1:05:03all those things unified into one single
- 1:05:05platform which is done in this country
- 1:05:07which is developed by people like you.
- 1:05:09So we have started leading in terms of
- 1:05:12technology not following the technology
- 1:05:14and we continue to lead this in the
- 1:05:16future. What do we expect from the
- 1:05:18industries from bright engineers like
- 1:05:20you? Of course we want you to focus on
- 1:05:23your programming languages and the core
- 1:05:25skills. One of the biggest things we
- 1:05:27look at when we hire you as problem
- 1:05:29solving skills. How do you approach the
- 1:05:32problem? We don't expect you to solve
- 1:05:33the problem completely. How do you
- 1:05:35approach the problem? Are you able to
- 1:05:37break the complex problem into simple
- 1:05:39pieces? Are you able to communicate a
- 1:05:42complex problem in a simplified way in a
- 1:05:44team? Are you having a winning together
- 1:05:46attitude? Are you having a teamwork
- 1:05:49attitude? Are you working as a team so
- 1:05:51that this vision of the company or
- 1:05:53vision of the institute is being
- 1:05:55accomplished through you? Not as an
- 1:05:56individual, not as about what you've
- 1:05:59done, it's about how you've done the
- 1:06:02behavior aspects. What you accomplish is
- 1:06:04more important. At the same time how you
- 1:06:07accomplish is also more important in
- 1:06:09terms of the industry arena.
- 1:06:12Coming to the role of the parents I want
- 1:06:14to thank parents for choosing this
- 1:06:16institute
- 1:06:18as my other chief guest mentioned about
- 1:06:21you are in the right place and right
- 1:06:22time. Why I tell you I'll give you a
- 1:06:24little bit of a statistics right from

- 1:06:34from EU. It's about approximately around
- 1:06:36300 to 400 people in that close to about
- 1:06:3870 80 people are star students. I can
- 1:06:42proudly say that in the last uh 12 years
- 1:06:44of um experience we had some of the top
- 1:06:48not some of most of them are top
- 1:06:50performers in our company who's been
- 1:06:52creating the future vision and
- 1:06:54technologies for Dell. I can name the
- 1:06:57individuals the few people who have been
- 1:06:59part of the last event malti sudhager
- 1:07:01they've been creating close to 100
- 1:07:03patents the technologies what need to
- 1:07:05drive the human progress not just for
- 1:07:07Dell even for the future complex world
- 1:07:11what we are going to live in so in that
- 1:07:13way you are in the safe hand you are in
- 1:07:16the safe place I am part of the
- 1:07:18curriculum setting up in VAT also let me

- 1:07:24from companies like Bane Main, Mckensky,
- 1:07:28JWC,
- 1:07:29there are top 10 technologies we have
- 1:07:31figured out. I could able to see almost
- 1:07:34all the top technologies has been either
- 1:07:37part of the core technologies in CSSE
- 1:07:39curriculum or in form of elective. It
- 1:07:42could be autonomous car, quantum
- 1:07:44computing, gen AI, agentic AI, digital
- 1:07:48twins, design thinking, microservices,
- 1:07:53devops, automation, cloud computing,
- 1:07:57edge computing, 5G, 6G. Trust me, all
- 1:08:01those are part of your credle in the
- 1:08:02four years. It's up to you to choose
