• This is the best period for India to showcase its potential in the world. Today’s Start-ups are the multi-nationals of tomorrow. And in which cities these Start-ups are mostly coming up?
• The influence of these Start-ups can be seen in the cities which we usually call Tier-2 or Tier-3 cities.
• Best managers are needed to take forward these Start-ups, the new companies formed by the Indian youth.
• The management experts who are emerging from the new regions of the country and with new experiences will play a big role in giving new heights to Indian companies.
• Friends, I was reading somewhere that India has created more Unicorns this year than in previous years despite the COVID crisis.

• Not only do you have to encourage new set-ups, but to emphasize inclusiveness; you have to take along with all who have been left behind in the race of development.
• The place where IIM’s permanent campus is being built already has a medical university, an engineering university, three more universities, Sainik School and training institutes for CRPF and police.
• Those who do not know much about Sambalpur can now imagine how big an education hub the region is going to become after the establishment of a prestigious institution like IIM.
• The most important thing for IIM Sambalpur and students and professionals studying here would be that the entire area is like a practical lab for you in a way.
• Nature wise, this place is so majestic, Odisha’s glory – the Hirakud Dam – is not far away from you.
