In his opening address, Anish Srikrishna, President, Times Professional Learning, stressed upon the need to stay relevant in a professional career. He said, "To stay relevant in this constantly changing world, you have to constantly upgrade your skills and be prepared to take risks. A career today is no longer about how much you earn or what role you get into, but about what learning it offers you while you work."
He further added, "Learn from each experience, take out the positive, constructive and emblazon it in your memory. Look to acquire skills throughout your life and never be afraid to try new things."
Stressing on the need for cross-functional expertise, Nitin Kapadia said, "The thin line between a finance job, a sales job or an operations job is no longer there. What I have seen in my last 15-20 years is that every person is actually a sales person now, be it operations or be it support. Gone are the days when you can't be a jack of all and master of none. I think you need to be jack of all and master of one. You need to think like the CEO."
Some of the dignitaries brought out the true potential of India to the fore. Arpita Vinay began by talking about the opportunities in the financial sector. She said, "You must be aware that India's macros have never looked better. There's a significant inflow that's going to happen in financial savings." She was looking forward to exciting times in the adjacent space of banking such as wealth management, robot advisory, payment banks and alternative asset management.
Vikash Choubey advised the students to enjoy work in the right perspective, "When someone says hard work is the mantra to success, we must understand the origin of that work, the relevance of that work, understand the ultimate objective of that work, the overall purpose of the work and why it has been given to you. Then only you will be able to enjoy that work, and your engagement with that work will be much more higher."
Preeti Singh stressed upon the importance of learning by saying, "A workplace is not an extension of your college. Knowledge is something to be gained constantly. Every day is an opportunity for me to learn more." She stressed on the Three A's that define her success: right Attitude, Awareness and Authenticity.
It was a memorable experience for student Erica James, who won Zonal Spartan, as she and her mother competed for top slot together in the same batch. She also shared her learning experience with TimesPro and its exhaustive curriculum.
Congratulating the students Tejas Sanghavi talked about ACT- Attitude, Curiosity and Time Management in the information age. On time management he said, "Successful people always start their day early. Almost every successful person will start the day early. Get up and create a plan for the day and try and achieve that plan."
Besides a great learning experience and state-of-the-art infrastructure, students also benefit from TimesPro's 95% placement record. TASC 2017 saw 13 dynamic students who were awarded with Gold Medals.
