Mr Harsh Pati Singhania, Managing Director, JK Paper Ltd., was the chief guest for the event. In an inspiring message to the graduating students, he said, "The ability to unlearn is as important as the ability to learn. As you become successful, as you grow, do remember, there are others who did have the privilege to be in your shoes and it's our responsibility to give back to society. Think, whatever we do how can we do in a more sustainable and efficient way."
Mr Pankaj Patel, Chairman, IIM Udaipur Board, shared the last year's achievements of the Institute. He emphasized IIM Udaipur's recent accomplishment of becoming the youngest B-School in India to gain AACSB accreditation. He said, "From day one, IIMU has been focussed on building a globally recognized management institution. As we look towards the future, we want to continue to break new ground by focusing on world-class research, forging strong bonds with our corporate partners and providing a transformational experience for our students."

Conferring the degrees to the graduates, Prof. Janat Shah, Director, IIM Udaipur, motivated students to be exemplary leaders by pursuing the management profession in a noble manner. He said, "Always take with you the strong moral compass that IIMU has tried to instil in you. This is especially important given the leadership failure which the world is currently witnessing in instances like IL&FS case, Boeing 737 max failure, or the banking crisis. So it is very important that you have a long-term orientation and don't take shortcuts. Remember that management is the noblest of professions if it is practised well. No other occupation offers as many ways to help others learn and grow, to take responsibility and be recognized for achievement, and to contribute to society."
