Arundhati Bhattacharya Universal Business School

Arundhati Bhattacharya, one of corporate India s most exalted names, delivered the commencement address to the batch of 2022 at the Universal Business School, Mumbai. A total of 184 students received their degrees from India s first green business school.

Bharat Puri, Managing Director of Pidilite Industries was the Guest of honour.

Addressing the earnest students, Chief Guest Arundhati Bhattacharya said, what we have learnt over time is that it s not just IQ that matters in the real world. Students need EQ, (empathy), SQ ( for social skills and building trust) and more importantly, AQ ( to be able to deal with adversity).

Commenting further, she said, Universal Business School s emphasis on sustainability is a gift to its students- because being conscious and frugal is not about living in deprivation. They are making their students realise that the earth has finite resources and they must not be taken for granted. This understanding will go a long way in their professional lives.
