The Faculty of Management proudly hosted a compelling and insightful session titled “Industry Preparedness for Management Students” as part of the Orientation Programme 2025.

We had the distinct honour of welcoming Dr. Madhumitha Gomathinayagam, Manager – HR Operations and India’s first transgender HR professional, as our esteemed guest speaker. Her presence and words were nothing short of inspiring.

During the session, Dr. Madhumitha shared her expert insights and real-world experiences on some of the most essential competencies for today’s aspiring professionals. Her talk centered on:

  1. Emotional Intelligence & Self-Awareness – cultivating the ability to understand and manage one’s emotions in professional environments.
  2. Facing Technological Disruptions with Confidence – encouraging students to view tech changes as opportunities for innovation.
  3. Bridging the Gap Between Academia and Industry – highlighting the importance of aligning classroom learning with industry expectations.

With her candid and motivating approach, Dr. Madhumitha empowered our students to step out of their comfort zones and prepare for the ever-evolving corporate world.

A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Madhumitha for her trailblazing spirit and for delivering an inspiring session that will stay with our students for a long time!
