Mr. Vivek Pandyarajan
VIT has always remained very close to my heart for various reasons. VIT was very successful in bringing out our talents and potentials much before we stepped into the real world. Its unbelievable that right after we left VIT, most of us clearly knew what our strengths and weaknesses were. To this date, I am perplexed in how true our projections and learnings were. The vision set by our loving GV sir stands firm and sets a great example on how vision needs to be set and executed. VIT has and will always remain a place that provides a rich platform for students to groom themselves. The management, unlike many other regional institutions, never intruded into the privacy of the students and has let the students decide their lives, careers and futures. That is a great example of leadership.
Our learnings and experiences from VIT days reflect greatly in our daily lives. A few days ago I was congratulated for having pulled off a major event management activity. The company was very surprised how I was able to pull off such an event in India, considering I had never worked in India before. The reason is, I had pulled off such events at VIT 20 years ago!
It is remarkable that VIT reaches out to Alumni so often. Even in the US, VIT leadership was very active in socializing with students and alumni. During my days as the Secretary of the VIT alumni association, we were constantly challenged to bring out our best. GV sir's personal interest to learn about every student's life is astonishing. Few weeks ago, we met GV sir at an airport. He spent lot of time patiently listening our professional and personal lives.
It gives great pleasure in seeing VIT students succeed in professional and academic areas globally. VIT students in my organization are performing exceptionally well!
Best wishes to VIT and its management for the years to come.
