Speaking on the importance on struggle and hard work in life, Shri Kamal Nath advised the graduating batch to raise their bar continuously in their career.

The honourable Chief Guest of the ceremony, Shri Rana Kapoor highlighted the special focus on entrepreneurship, innovation and leadership. He was enthusiastic about the emerging entrepreneurial culture in India saying, "India's economy is still considered to be a land of opportunities. The land of a billion ideas is now a land of billion opportunities. What is happening today in India is similar to what happened in Silicon Valley in past. In an entrepreneurial economy, creativity and innovation always thrives. You are no longer job seekers, but are job creators." Convocation ceremony marks a memorable day in the life of every graduating student manager who assimilates knowledge and experiences of two years to further utilise it in the corporate world ahead.
IMT Nagpur wishes All the Best to the passing-out batch of 2014-16.
