While encouraging the graduates, he remarked that today’s business house operates in an environment that is deeply influenced by the change. Flexibility is essential to demonstrate agility in response to external market stimuli. The change can be planned to address the predictable business scenario through business process re-engineering. The changes can also be unplanned due to unpredictable external stimuli in a business environment. Organizations need to develop agility into their DNA to manage unplanned change, and that can only be possible by imbibing flexibility in its strategy, process, and enablement initiatives.
Shri N. Bala Baskar, in his felicitation address, spoke on what success and happiness mean to everyone. He persuaded the students to follow their path of success parallel to happiness.

About Bharathidasan Institute of Management (BIM Trichy):
Established in 1984, Bharathidasan Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli, an ISO 21001:2018 certified institution, is an autonomous school of excellence of Bharathidasan University, run by an independent society. BIM offers two years residential MBA program approved by AICTE with specialization in Marketing Management; Finance and Economics; Operations and Supply Chain Management; Human Resources Management; Digital Business, and Analytics.

More than 4500 BIM Alumni spread around the globe are significantly contributing to corporates, academics, and society today. Former Union Minister Bharat Ratna Late Shri C Subramaniam was instrumental in setting up this B School. He was motivated by the idea of starting a School of Excellence in Management that would be organically linked with an industrial complex. He believed that just as a medical school needed to be attached to a hospital to be effective as a teaching institution, a Management School had to be linked with industry. Accordingly, the institute was set up in collaboration with BHEL within its sprawling Tiruchirappalli campus. In addition to its graduate program, BIM has a strong research profile and established multiple centers of excellence, including the Operations Excellence Centre, Financial Trading and Analytics Center (FINTRAC), Real-Time Contextual Marketing Labs, and Center for Sustainable Development to advance contemporary management practices (www.bim.edu).
