It was a privilege to have him on the campus. Amit covered topics ranging from sharing his story at NITIE and beyond, to guiding the current students to make the most of their two years at NITIE.

Amit emphasized the importance of competencies, knowledge,skills and delivery. He stressed that to succeed all the elements should coexist.
Amit emphasized that the following four elements exist in everybody and it is their interplay that leads to defining a person. We must identify what are we good at and what type of job will suit us as per our strengths. These key elements are:
  • Thoughts
  • Influence
  • Adaptability
  • Delivery
In addition to this, he suggested:
  • Follow your passion and area of interest
  • It is good to be little over confident than to be underconfident
  • In industry, we should try to grow from a specialist to a generalist
  • Increase our awareness by reading Economic Times and Livemint
  • Know all the sectors in industry and stay updated about them
  • Select electives that will help us to get a flavour of all the arenas of management viz. finance,marketing and HR
It was a great learning time with him. I would extend thanks to Mr. Amit for coming and  Prof. Mandi for organizing such sessions.
