Anish Srikrishna, president of Times Professional Learning (TPL), stressed upon the need to stay relevant in a professional career. “We at TPL have been working relentlessly towards addressing students with engaging content, personalised coaching, hands-on experience, employee training that transforms them into professionals who are workplace ready from their first day in any organization,” he said.

Mithen of Monash College said: “Self-development and change are possible only through education. To be able to drive change, one needs to be clear of his or her goals and vision.” “Skillset and mindset both go hand in hand. One should be a go-giver as compared to a go-getter,” said Yes Bank’s Vasu.
