The MBA program in Delhi welcomed an 80-year-old entrepreneur, GM Gupta, who shared his profound passion for learning. Gupta, who had previously earned a PhD, operates a startup in the defense sector and boasts extensive experience working with DCM Shriram. He believes that acquiring new technologies, gaining knowledge through case studies, and unlearning outdated approaches will empower him to manage his startup more effectively.

Alok Kumar Mishra, Joint Secretary of the Association of Indian Universities, New Delhi, highlighted the National Education Policy (NEP 2020)'s credit system, which enables students to collaborate across institutions within India and abroad.

Mahadeo Jaiswal, director of the IIM Sambalpur said, “As the industries are evolving, the need for management education similarly has also evolved. It is important to promote innovation-driven entrepreneurship which has created the need for Indian B-schools to foster innovation and integrity. I think these factors will have a positive impact on the country's GDP in times to come.”
