										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Mumbai, 9th September 2026: </b>Management education is evolving beyond preparing students for their first corporate role. With AI reshaping workplaces, financial markets changing rapidly and businesses becoming increasingly global, tomorrow’s managers need to develop adaptability, independent thinking and a wider understanding of the world.</p>
<p>This was reflected at the MMS program Batch 2026-28 Induction program at <i>Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research (</i>WeSchool), themed ‘SAMVAAD – Connecting Minds, Creating Leaders’, which brought together perspectives from international diplomacy, financial markets, industry and education.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-85062 size-full aligncenter" src="https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-scaled.jpg" alt="WeSchool MMS Batch 2026-28 Induction Programme" width="2560" height="1707" srcset="https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-480x320.jpg 480w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-280x186.jpg 280w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64702-1-960x640.jpg 960w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></p>
<p><i>Addressing the students, <b>Ms. Sato Hitomi, Consul-General, Consulate General of Japan in Mumbai</b>, highlighted the growing India-Japan relationship and the opportunities it presents for young professionals.</i> <i>“Now you may be wondering what all of this means for you. It means opportunities. Opportunity to study abroad, especially in Japan. Opportunity to participate in research collaborations. Opportunity to work with global companies. Opportunity to contribute in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, mobility, sustainability, and innovation.”</i></p>
<p><b><i>Dr. Tirthankar Patnaik, Chief Economist, National Stock Exchange of India Limited</i></b><i>, encouraged students to look beyond their starting salary and focus on the long-term value of their careers.</i></p>
<p><i>“The first part that you will do when you get out, in two years, would be ‘,0020What&#8217;s my starting salary?’ That&#8217;s what I will also think when I join the corporate world. But we forget that somebody could do much better over a five-year or a ten-year period. Think about your NPV, guys, and you realise that careers change a lot.”</i></p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-85064 size-full aligncenter" src="https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64716-scaled.jpg" alt="WeSchool MMS Batch 2026-28 Induction Programme" width="2560" height="1707" srcset="https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64716-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64716-300x200.jpg 300w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64716-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64716-768x512.jpg 768w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64716-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64716-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64716-480x320.jpg 480w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/VR64716-280x186.jpg 280w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></p>
<p><b><i>For Mr. Vivek Nayak, Member, CDC, WeSchool</i></b><i>, the two years should be about building knowledge and preparing for a rapidly changing professional world.</i><br />
<i>“Make the best out of these two years. Read as much as you can, learn as much as you can, prepare yourselves for the future that will take you into the corporate world.”</i></p>
<p><i>On AI, he stressed the importance of balancing technology with independent thinking: “AI is coming to us in a big way, and I think it&#8217;s going to disrupt a lot of things. And it&#8217;s probably going to disrupt education also. So as you&#8217;re studying, embrace AI. Learn as many tools as you can. But make sure you understand the depth. If you depend completely on AI, then you stop thinking.”</i></p>
<p><i> <b>Sr.Prof. Dr. Pankaj Ramesh Natu, Director, WeSchool</b>, highlighted the significance of the institute&#8217;s 42nd MMS batch and the learning experience ahead.</i><br />
<i>“It is a wonderful feeling today to welcome the batch of 2026–28. I am delighted that this is the 42nd batch of MMS. It is a great feeling with such a rich legacy and today we have such honourable people here, great dignitaries who have come. I think this is actually a very auspicious moment for all of us.”</i></p>
<p>The induction set the tone for an MMS experience that goes beyond conventional classroom learning, encouraging students to understand emerging technologies, economic shifts and global opportunities while developing the curiosity, adaptability and independent thinking needed to become future leaders.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the business world places increasing emphasis on sustainability, management education is evolving to prepare students not just for corporate success, but for responsible leadership. Recognising this shift, Prin. L. N. Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research (WeSchool) has introduced Mitti to Management, an experiential initiative that takes learning beyond classrooms and into nature, reinforcing that leadership begins with responsibility towards the planet.</p>
<p>Bringing together students to plant saplings, the initiative transforms a simple environmental activity into a powerful lesson in collaboration, accountability, and long-term thinking. Working together to nurture green spaces, participants experience how collective action can create meaningful and lasting impact, an approach that reflects the values of future-ready, purpose-driven organisations.</p>
<p>More than a plantation drive, <i>Mitti to Management</i> serves as a hands-on lesson in environmental stewardship. Every sapling planted encourages students to reflect on climate action, resource conservation, and the growing responsibility of businesses to embed sustainability into everyday decision-making. It reinforces the idea that sustainability is not merely a corporate commitment but a leadership mindset that shapes lasting success.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-83581 size-full aligncenter" src="https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-scaled.jpg" alt="Mitti to Management sustainability initiative" width="2560" height="1707" srcset="https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-300x200.jpg 300w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-768x512.jpg 768w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-480x320.jpg 480w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-280x186.jpg 280w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/VR61426-960x640.jpg 960w" sizes="(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></p>
<p>Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those focused on climate action, sustainable communities, and responsible consumption, the initiative helps students connect global challenges with local action. It demonstrates how small, consistent efforts can contribute to broader environmental and social progress while inspiring future managers to think beyond profits and towards purpose.</p>
<p>The initiative reflects an educational philosophy that extends beyond academic excellence to nurturing socially conscious leaders. By encouraging empathy, collaboration, resilience, and accountability, it equips students with qualities that are increasingly essential for leading organisations in a sustainability-focused world.</p>
<p>By bringing together the principles of management and environmental responsibility, <i>Mitti to Management</i> reminds students that the journey to becoming an effective leader does not begin in a boardroom; it begins with understanding the value of giving back to the world. Through every sapling planted today, the initiative is cultivating a generation of leaders who will build businesses that grow with purpose, responsibility, and lasting impact.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where innovation meets healthcare and ideas transform into impact, ‘Prin. L.N. Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research (WeSchool) marked its presence at the prestigious DHN City Meetup Mumbai 2026 as an educational partner. The event brought together healthcare professionals, startups, innovators, researchers, and academic contributors from across the ecosystem for a day dedicated to collaboration, learning, and future-focused conversations.</p>
<p>The meetup was thoughtfully curated to encourage meaningful interactions and practical industry exposure. Faculty members from Welingkar Institute of Management actively represented the institution throughout the day by participating in discussions, workshops, and networking sessions centered around healthcare innovation and emerging trends shaping the industry.</p>
<p>Further strengthening the institution’s participation, five students from the PGDM Healthcare Management programme attended the evening sessions: Anviti Kulshrestha, Yash Singh, Varunraj Gharge, Varun Bothe, and Swastik Khade.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-81294 size-full aligncenter" src="https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/PHOTO-2026-04-29-10-07-28-scaled.jpg" alt="Welingkar Institute participates in DHN City Meetup Mumbai 2026" width="2560" height="1920" srcset="https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/PHOTO-2026-04-29-10-07-28-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/PHOTO-2026-04-29-10-07-28-300x225.jpg 300w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/PHOTO-2026-04-29-10-07-28-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/PHOTO-2026-04-29-10-07-28-768x576.jpg 768w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/PHOTO-2026-04-29-10-07-28-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/PHOTO-2026-04-29-10-07-28-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/PHOTO-2026-04-29-10-07-28-760x570.jpg 760w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/PHOTO-2026-04-29-10-07-28-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://newsmantra.in/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/PHOTO-2026-04-29-10-07-28-960x720.jpg 960w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px" /></p>
<p>One of the key highlights of the event was the opportunity to directly interact with healthcare startups and industry experts who are redefining the future of healthcare delivery and technology. The collaborative workshops and knowledge-sharing sessions enabled participants to gain practical insights and understand how innovative ideas are translated into real-world healthcare solutions.</p>
<p>The students and faculty members also engaged in meaningful conversations with professionals from diverse sectors, exchanged perspectives, and explored possibilities for future collaboration. These interactions not only broadened their understanding of the healthcare ecosystem but also strengthened professional networking opportunities.</p>
<p><i>Sharing thoughts on the experience, a program Dr. Anjali Kumar, head of healthcare, said, “The DHN City Meetup provided an excellent platform for our students and faculty to connect with healthcare leaders and innovators. Such industry interactions are essential in helping students bridge academic concepts with practical applications while encouraging collaborative and forward-thinking approaches toward healthcare management.”</i></p>
<p>The DHN Mumbai Meetup proved to be an enriching and insightful experience for both students and faculty members. Through participation in such industry-driven platforms, Welingkar Institute of Management continues to encourage experiential learning, innovation, and meaningful academic-industry engagement in the evolving field of healthcare management.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Mumbai, December 24, 2025:</strong> Prin. L. N. Welingkar Institute of Management Development &amp; Research (WeSchool), Mumbai brought together its illustrious alumni, faculty members, students, and leaders from across generations at the Annual Alumni Meet 2025, an evening that celebrated shared memories, leadership journeys, and the enduring bond between the institute and its alumni.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">One of the most evocative moments of the evening was the recreation of the iconic “<strong>Ambika Sheraton</strong>,” a small chai tapri located just outside the erstwhile Sion campus of Welingkar Institute, fondly remembered by former students and faculty alike. Known for its endless cups of chai and conversations that shaped friendships and ideas, the Ambika Sheraton was recreated in the WeSchool foyer, creating a wave of nostalgia and reaffirming the institution’s belief that some of the strongest institutional bonds are also reinforced outside classrooms, over conversations and connections.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The celebrations began with a special “<strong>Match of Legends</strong>” cricket match. The friendly match brought together alumni, faculty, and students, symbolising teamwork, sportsmanship, and the vibrant spirit that continues to define the WeSchool community.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">A key highlight of the evening was the Power Hour Fireside Chat with distinguished Alumni and an inspiring talk by Captain Raghu Raman, who addressed alumni and students on leadership, organisational culture, and the challenges of scaling institutions. Drawing from his experience across the armed forces and the corporate world, Captain Raman emphasised the role of people, behaviour, and example-driven leadership.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Captain Raghu Raman, leadership consultant, Adani Group, said</strong>, “<em>Institutions are not built by funds; they are built by people. You should never ever ask someone to do something that you cannot demonstrate physically. Troops will not do what you tell them to do. Troops will do what you do. Layer after layer of governance and bureaucracy slows organisations down, and very often 50% to 60% percent of our energy goes into battling internal issues rather than external challenges. If organisations want to scale, leaders must create a shared reality where people know each other as human beings and not just as designations, because leadership is about behaviour, example, and the stories people choose to follow</em>.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Addressing the gathering, <strong>Prof. Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group Director, Prin. L. N. Welingkar Institute of Management Development &amp; Research (WeSchool)</strong>, said, “ WeSchool’s growth did not happen by default but by design, driven by co-creation, co-production, and the belief that we may be constrained by land, but we are never constrained by mind.” He attributed WeSchool’s success in a big way to the WeSchool alumni who have stood like pillars of strength. He also fondly acknowledged a<strong>l</strong>umni associated with and working at WeSchool as well as the global alumni present for the alumni meet.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The evening also featured student performances, Alumni awards, alumni networking, and a rooftop celebration with music and dinner, bringing the formal celebrations to a warm and energetic close while reinforcing the institution’s commitment to lifelong alumni engagement.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Annual Alumni Meet 2025 culminated with the Pride of Welingkar Awards, recognising alumni who have demonstrated excellence, leadership, entrepreneurship, social impact, and sustained contribution across industries and geographies.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Corporate Excellence Award recipients included Nitin Nabar (MMS 1987–89), Shriram Balasubramaniam (MMM 1994–97), Amit Kapur (MMS 1997–99), Mayuresh Kore (MMS 2000–02), Avishek Purkayastha (PGDM e-Biz 2002–04), Kedar Rele (MMM 2003–06), Shreyas Dukle (MIM 2003–06), Shekhar Joshi (MFM 2004–07), Sharad Sadadekar (MIM 2004–07), Bhushan Soman (PGDBM Finance 2005–07), Abhijit Kulkarni (PGDM 2006–08), Siddhi Shah (MMS 2007–09), Rahul Dedhia (MMS 2007–09), and Nilesh Rathod (MMS 2009–11).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Women Leader Award was presented to Vaishali Srivastava (PGDM 1998–2000), Tina Kabra (PGDM 1999–2001), Shiksha Sethia (PGDM 2002–04), Sonali Puri (MMS 2005–07), Renuka Gowda (MHRDM 2007–10), Swapna Sundaram Iyer (PGDM e-Biz 2007–09), and Rohini Remje (MHRDM 2019–20).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Entrepreneurial Success Award winners included Gaurav Kumar (PGDM 1998–2000), Dr. Nishant S. Mehta (MFM 2005–08), Aasim Merchant (PGDM e-Biz 2005–07), Avanti Ubhayakar (PGDM 2005–07), Ninad Thakre (PGDM BD 2008–10), Rishabh Nagwekkar (MMS 2012–14), and Siddhant Khare (PGDM e-Biz 2017–19).</p>
