Forever a Student: Embracing Lifelong Learning as an IIM Kozhikode Alumnus

On March 3rd, 2024, I reached a significant milestone in my career by completing the Senior Management Program at the esteemed Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode . This journey has been a remarkable experience of growth and self-discovery, and I'm excited to share it with you all. Despite spending over two decades in the tech industry, this course provided me with valuable insights into strategic leadership, finance, marketing, HR, and more.

The sacrifices made along the way, like spending weekends studying and attending classes, have proven to be worthwhile. Each subject, from Strategic Thinking to Digital Transformation, has broadened my perspective and honed my skills.

Walking across the stage at the valedictory function in Indian Kurta to receive my certificate was a moment filled with pride and joy. It symbolized months of hard work, dedication, and determination—a testament to the power of persistence and self-investment.

Mahatma Gandhi's words, "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever," deeply resonates with me. They remind me that regardless of experience, there's always room for growth. As an alumnus of IIM Kozhikode, I'm committed to embracing continuous learning as a pathway to personal and professional fulfillment.

I'm immensely grateful to everyone who has supported me on this journey. To name a few - my wife Sunanda Singh , my company Adobe , Professors Debashis (Deb Ashis) Chatterjee Venkataraman S Lionel Aranha Rudra Sensarma Shailesh Shah Rachappa Shette Arqum Mateen and others and my fellow mates like Rejin Chandran Ajeet Singh Pramod Ananth Rakesh Kumar Karthikeyan Kondal Ramakrishnan Karthikeyan Thangavel Kiran Sathyan and so many others. Your support and belief in me have been my greatest motivation, and I'm eager to continue striving for excellence alongside you.

Looking ahead, I'm filled with excitement and optimism. Equipped with the knowledge and skills gained from this program, I'm ready to tackle new challenges and make a meaningful impact in the world.

Forever a student, I embrace the journey of lifelong learning, grateful for the foundation laid by IIM Kozhikode as its alumnus. Here's to new beginnings, endless possibilities, and a future filled with success and fulfillment. Thank you, IIM Kozhikode, for an unforgettable experience!
