A physical convocation, at last. After 2019, a gap of three years. Last two were held online, and though well-attended, the excitement this time was palpable. The Chief Guest was from IBM Consulting, and heads DevOps and AI OPs practice. The emcees were Rakshita and Nikhiel from MBA batch 12. Exec PGDM students of Batch 25 also graduated along with MBA 11.
Had an informal meeting with the Convocation Chief Guest for the upcoming convocation at NMIMS Bangalore-Ms. Meenakshi Sreenivasan. She's an accomplished global head of one of IBM Consulting's important Practices. It was fascinating to learn about upcoming areas in which the company has a leading-edge practice for global clients. Also learnt about DevOps and AIOps, the new buzzwords in the I.T. Consulting domain. A lot of multinationals use India as their base now for many cutting edge products/services/businesses. IBM is also one of these.
Our 11th batch of MBA, and 25th batch of Executive MBA program are convocating tomorrow (April 21, 2022), physically after a long break in physical events, due to COVID.
