Dear Mr. Nagaraja Prakasam,
Greetings!
I would like to thank you for taking part in our Freshers’ Induction Programme 2019. Your gracious presence and though provoking speech on “Learn to be an Entrepreneur” added great value to the programme and made a huge difference and distinction for our freshers.
You have enlightened the young minds by stressing on the importance of hard work and by advising them to ‘look at everything with curiosity’ and face every problem bravely as it will become strength of their lives’.
Dedicated and successful entrepreneurs such as yourself are a great source of inspiration and leave an indelible mark in the young minds.
Thank you so much for your valuable presence and highly motivating speech.
With Best Regards,
V. Selvam
