Director IIM Rohtak, Professor Dheeraj Sharma, set the tone of the event by addressing the alumni community.
Speaking about the importance of culture in the IIM system, Professor Sharma said, “A sense of ownership is what builds the culture of an institute, and therefore apart from creating responsible managers and wonderful leaders, the IIM system ensures that its alumni internalize this value system.”
The Director also said that the culture becomes a way of life for an IIM alumni as they become the flag bearers of the system in the corporate world and contribute continuously to the development of the nation.
Various Alumni who spoke on the occasion appreciated the efforts of the institutions’ leadership in building the largest and breakthrough management institution in the country.
