IIM Kozhikode’s 4th Edition of International Conclave on ‘Globalising Indian Thought’ concludes with a commitment to Indian Knowledge Systems, Culture & Management

– Vineet Jain, MD, Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd. reflected on the pivotal role played by the media in shaping the global landscape and to usher India’s position as a leader in Innovation in Technology and Entrepreneurship, Education and Skill Development, Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship.

BENGALURU, India, Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The prestigious Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode (IIM Kozhikode) successfully hosted the fourth edition of the International Conclave on ‘Globalising Indian Thought (GIT 2023)’ from December 14 to 16 at Mysore. The three-day conclave explored the profound impact of Indian knowledge systems, culture, and management practices on the global stage. The event brought together eminent personalities, thought leaders and industry experts to deliberate on the convergence of Indian knowledge systems, culture, and management on the global stage.

Mr. Vineet Jain, Managing Director of Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd. (The Times of India), graced the event and delivered a conclave valediction that resonated with the theme of the conclave. He outlined what in his view should be done to globalise Indian talent on a bigger scale. In this regard, he said that Indians should take a leading role in, and drive today’s Big Ideas in 3 major areas which are: Innovation in Technology and Entrepreneurship, Education and Skill Development, and Sustainability and Environmental Stewardship, which is crucial in the age of Climate change. He reiterates that we must recognize that our uniquely Indian characteristics are both our foundation and our compass that has paved the way for Indian talent to excel in the past, and they will continue to be instrumental in shaping the future. 

In his address, Mr. Jain stated, “The Times Group completed 186 years of a remarkable journey as a diversified group, with leading companies in media, entertainment, and education. As I reflect on the meaning of this achievement and its journey that is so deeply connected with the building of the modern Indian nation-state, I sense a spirit of co-creation, an embrace of India’s diversity’ and most importantly, a partnership celebrating the journeys and achievements of Indians everywhere. Hence, when I was thinking about an appropriate theme for this speech, I could not look further than the idea of “Globalizing Indian Talent”. This is because India’s greatest strength is our human resources. As per estimates, our current workforce is 495 million. By 2050, this is expected to grow to 1.1 billion which means India will contribute 40% of the global workforce 27 years from now. India’s outstanding macro-economic, demographic, and social indicators quite clearly underline that this is our moment to respond, to arrive on the global stage. Furthermore, this conclave is also a great tribute to the triumphs and tribulations of Indians vying for their rightful place in the world. The Group’s recent investments in education and Edtech are a further testament to our commitment towards nurturing India’s talent to make them career-ready in any part of the globe. TimesPro was the Group’s first foray into the emerging world of education technology and has grown rapidly by staying true to its promise of learner focus by training over 2 million learners. TimesPro has attained a reputation for quality and outcome orientation, which is second to none. We are proud to partner with IIM Kozhikode in its vision of highly innovative and accessible executive education.”

Mr Jain spoke about the path of globalization of Indian talent and outlined in detail what makes it truly global; second, how Times Group has propelled and showcased this on the world stage and his perspectives on taking the next big leap for the globalisation of Indian talent.

The conclave witnessed engaging discussions, insightful panels, and thought-provoking sessions over three days. Dignitaries and members at the event acknowledged the Institute’s commitment to promoting Indian thought leadership globally and delved into the diverse contributions made by India that have left an indelible imprint across various fields. The Conclave provided a platform to explore the richness of India’s knowledge systems, encompassing ancient sciences, philosophy, and the arts. Eminent scholars and experts delved into how these traditional systems continue to be relevant and offer insights into contemporary challenges.

Eminent dignitaries including Kinji Saito – Director & Senior Managing Officer, Suzuki Motor Corporation, Vineet Jain – Managing Director, Bennett Coleman & Co. Ltd. (The Times of India), Sanjeev Sanyal, Member – Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, Government of India, Chandra Shekhar Ghosh – Founder, MD & CEO of Bandhan Bank, Dr. Tessy Thomas – Indian Scientist, Former Director General, Aeronautical Systems, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and others highlighted achievements of India in their respective fields and shared a vision for India’s growth and their outreach to Global South.

Prof. Debashis Chatterjee, Director, IIM Kozhikode articulated that Globalizing Indian Thought is Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode’s signature convention which has also now become IIMK’s institutional mission, design principle and the basis of IIMK’s aspiration to be counted among the world’s best thought school.

He said that the human-centric perspective, which differs from the West’s systems-centric view, contributes significantly to India’s achievements in business. He further added that the value and vibrancy of India’s soft power is yet to manifest, and the time has finally come for us to rise to our fullest potential, our highest aspiration and make India count on the world stage again.

100 Research papers along with technical sessions, research paper workshops, and panel discussions were presented across the three-day event along with the display of India’s culture, arts, literature, and lifestyle. The Conclave fostered discussions on cultural exchanges and highlighted how Indian philosophies and management practices rooted in ethical principles gained international recognition. The event concluded with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to furthering the global discourse on Indian knowledge systems, culture, and management.

SPJIMR holds Annual Convocation 2025 with HUL’s Nitin Paranjpe as Chief Guest

802 graduates embark on a journey to lead with integrity, passion, and a growth mindset

MUMBAI, India, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan’s S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research, one of India’s leading business schools, hosted its Annual Convocation 2025 at its Mumbai campus on Saturday, 17 May. The event celebrated the achievements of over 800 graduating participants from across the Institute’s full-time and modular postgraduate programmes, including two (2) Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) scholars.

The Convocation was graced by Mr. Nitin Paranjpe, Non-Executive Chairman of Hindustan Unilever, as Chief Guest. Also, present were Mr. Deepak Parekh, Chair of SPJIMR’s Governing Council; Dr. Varun Nagaraj, Dean, SPJIMR; faculty and staff; and family members of the graduating participants.

Delivering the Convocation Address, Mr. Nitin Paranjpe drew upon his decades of global business experience to urge the graduating cohort to lead with purpose, resilience, and a commitment to continuous growth. Speaking of India’s bold aspiration to become a Viksit Bharat by 2047, he highlighted the need for a new kind of leadership—one that is ethical, compassionate, and driven by the common good.

Mr. Paranjpe shared three powerful life lessons drawn from his personal and professional journey: “There’s no such thing as a good job or a bad one — it’s the mindset you bring that shapes your experience. The real joy, and the foundation for excellence, lies in loving what you do. Don’t chase being the best in the world — strive to be the best version of yourself. Continuous self-improvement is your right, your responsibility, and your greatest opportunity. Purpose is that inner force that fuels your energy and passion. When you find what truly drives you, hold on to it — it’s the most precious gift you’ll ever have.”

In his address, Dean Dr. Varun Nagaraj shared a candid reflection on the challenges graduates face in an uncertain world—geopolitical tensions and the dual promise and peril of AI. He urged them to enter this complex landscape with confidence, guided by SPJIMR’s mission of value-based growth and wise innovation.

He reaffirmed SPJIMR’s commitment to nurturing leaders who combine knowledge with empathy and impact with purpose: “Tomorrow you will be a different and better person than today. Embrace a growth mindset—remember, you are a work in progress, not a finished product. The world offers no ready-made answers; solutions come only through hard work and wise innovation.”

Sixteen (16) top achievers across programmes were presented with Scholastic Medals by Chief Guest Mr. Nitin Paranjape, and 50 recipients from the Dean’s Honour List received their commendation certificates from the Dean. 

Diplomas were conferred across the Institute’s full-time and modular programmes, including the Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM), Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGPM), PGDM (Business Management), Post Graduate Executive Management Programme (PGEMP), Post Graduate Programme in Development Management (PGPDM), Post Graduate Programme in General Management (PGPGM), and Post Graduate Programme in Marketing & Business Management (PGPMBM).

The Convocation ceremony concluded with the traditional hat throw, celebrating the graduates’ journey and the beginning of their next chapter as responsible, value-based leaders.
