The talent pool emerging out of world class institutions such as NMIMS is making this possible. In an era of job cuts, I am delighted to see a 25% avg salary hike and 100% Placements. ANZ too is bullish about its India operations and growth.

Women empowerment and diversity at the workplace is at the heart of our culture. Shakti, our flagship program for empowering women by providing a space to nurture, sharpen and grow their inner potential has helped us with almost 35% women in  management roles and a 22% women participation in leadership roles. It is heartening that NMIMS too has a 60:40 ratio which will translate to more women in leadership roles in times to come. I thoroughly enjoyed interacting with students today and we will look at ways to support the institution including mentoring by our leadership. At ANZ, our purpose is to shape a world where people and communities thrive and we connect with and invest significantly in the communities in which we operate and this is a small gesture from us.”

Dr. Ramesh Bhat, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor – NMIMS,  congratulated the students and said, “As you embark on your journey, I extend my best wishes, hoping that each of you finds a feeling of contentment and pride in everything you do. I am sure your great efforts and achievements will help you achieve great things in life. Your credentials will take you to much higher places, and you will prove yourself and contribute to making the world a better place.”

Dr. Narayani Ramchandran, Deputy Director, NMIMS Bengaluru joined Dr. Bhat in congratulating the graduating students and said “The boardroom of tomorrow needs to be equipped with a new gen skill set which is aware about ESG and its impact on Business. We plan to put a special emphasis on making students aware about ESG and UN SDG norms via guest lectures during the new academic year.  Currently in the Finance Sector, Bloomberg terminals are used extensively and at NMIMS, students are trained to use Bloomberg terminals and graduating students are certified by Bloomberg. This helps prepare an industry ready workforce and bridges the gap between academia and industry.”
