GMPe Batch 14 (GCC) saw 24 participants, while Batch 15 had 47, with both groups comprising senior professionals from various sectors. In his valedictory address, Rai shared profound insights on leadership, emphasising that the journey of learning truly begins now.
He urged the graduates to embrace bravery by developing fearlessness, not just against external challenges but also internal fears. “Things are rarely as bad as they seem,” he noted, reminding them that on days when it feels like things aren’t going their way, they should remember this moment of achievement and draw strength from it.
Rai also spoke about the importance of introspective reflection, encouraging the graduates to remember that the journey is as important as the destination. “Understand who you are and what you truly want. Live and enjoy every moment,” he advised.
He further emphasised the significance of equanimity, acknowledging that things may not always turn out as expected and that nothing in life is permanent.
