“The alumni association of St. Xavier’s College Calcutta is exemplary for many things. We are known for our strong bond, our camaraderie, the huge amount of philanthropic activities that we do throughout the year and above all for our tireless effort to do something for the betterment of our alma mater. The Xavier’s Business Awards is not an ordinary award for entrepreneurs who have only upscaled the turnover of their companies. It is conferred on individuals who have made a difference in society with the help of their business skills. And it is indeed inspiring when the recipients are Xaverians,” said Firdausal Hasan, honorary secretary, St. Xavier’s College Calcutta.
