Jamshedpur: Xavier School of Management, one of India’s oldest and premier B-Schools, celebrated its 67th Annual Convocation today in the Tata Auditorium, XLRI Jamshedpur.
XLRI conferred the prestigious ‘Sir Jehangir Ghandy Medal for Industrial and Social Peace’ to Harsh Mariwala, Chairman of Marico, for his enduring dedication to the high standards of business leadership and tenacious efforts to make our society a better place.
Accepting the medal, Mariwala congratulated all the graduating students and shared that his HR Head is an XLRI Alumni and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to XLRI for having him on stage. He further said, “ HRs play an important role in businesses. Create a culture of innovation and it will help you achieve success when you have less resources and high aspirations. Be a strong believer of strength based approach and identify your skills and use them efficiently and effectively. Fear is the biggest failure and you should not be afraid of failures. Failures lead to introspection, learning, improvements. You will have a mix pack of success and failures,” he added.

In this highly interconnected world, be aware geopolitically. Be aware of what’s happening around. Climate change or transition is going to play a huge role in the next 30 years.
