In his inaugural address, Prof. Rai emphasized the vital role that education plays in uniting diverse cultures and empowering individuals. He remarked, “At IIM Indore, we believe that education is not just a tool but a responsibility to build bridges, spark innovation, and create leaders. The Northeast is a region brimming with talent and untapped potential, and we are privileged to play a part in nurturing its academic future. This programme is not just about teaching; it’s about sharing, learning, and growing together as a nation.” He mentioned that the FDP reflects IIM Indore’s commitment to empowering educators and scholars to create meaningful change.

He also highlighted IIM Indore’s initiatives that aim to contribute to solving problems like inequality, gap between urban and rural India, environmental issues and lack of entrepreneurial spirit in the country. Prof. Rai called on educators to inspire youth to take risks, embrace experimentation, and pursue ventures they dream of. “If we don’t celebrate failures, we won’t be able to create a culture of innovation or see the rise of big startups from India. It starts with us as mentors,” he remarked. He concluded by affirming that this programme is a two-way journey of learning. “It’s not just about teaching but about exchanging ideas and working together to create solutions for a better India”, he said. As the programme unfolds, it serves as a reminder of the power of education to connect hearts and minds across India, turning diversity into strength and challenges into opportunities.
