Mr. Venkatraman addressed us on the topic "Current Management Practices in Industry" in general adding with it the dimensions of his 33 years of Industrial expertise. Mr. Venkatraman also shared with us his industry experience while he turned back and flipped past his industry life as a Financial Controller.

He was able to capture the attention of the audience in an eminent way by sharing his learning from his real life incidents. He was able to bring a clear idea of how it would be different for a manager in real life to manage between routines and challenges than what the life looks like from the eyes of a student. "Professionally right and personally nice" - a mantra he taught us all in his couple of hours long talk.

He shared with us the lessons he had gathered over 3 decades of professional experience. In all ways, it was an opening to the student community about the real life scenario once they step into the corporate world. The participants took much value from his lecture not only in terms of business management but also from the aspect of human values and people management.

Concluded.
