Today marks not just an end but a beautiful beginning. During my time at NMIMS, I faced my share of ups and downs, including failing econometrics. But I returned after five years and passed!

So my message to you is this: chase purpose, not just paychecks. Money will follow. Keep your values intact - integrity and empathy never go out of style! Lastly, remember, happiness moves in circles. What you give will always find its way back to you. Go out there, make a difference, and live a life full of purpose and pride. Wishing you all success, joy and a meaningful life ahead.'
