Sonu Sharma, a financial advisor, told the students how his consistent performance made him the youngest manager at his financial firm. Babul avsti, a music composer, narrated the story of her struggle. She had to compose 115 tunes before finally getting selected to compose music for a Bollywood film. With the students being informed on the variety of career opportunities and the alumni achievers sharing their achievements, the event was a huge success.
