In his address to the aspiring members, youth & other attendees, he mentioned that excellence is a journey not a destination & winning an award is important but sustaining it is more important. He briefed about the various stages of the Corporate Lifecycle. In this data driven world, change is the only constant whether one likes it or not, he mentioned. He also advised that if there is no failure, there would be no learning which will never lead to success. Hence a purpose driven, value based journey will definitely help achieving success. And to succeed, one must come out of his/her comfort zone and must implement what he/she learns. Also he was of the view that humility is the best way to keep one down to earth & hence one must learn to keep aside his/her ego and move forward in the journey. He showered his gratitude to VCCI for inviting him to this special occasion.
