Addressing the gathering, K Ullas Kamath said, “Student life is the best period. Life teaches us bigger lessons than what teachers teach. People who are first in class are never first in life. Do not worry about the numbers you get in exams. We need to do something extraordinary in life, it does not give us a re-examination. You need to grow to develop your country. Earn money for the future generation. Every job has its own dignity. Small companies have emotions more than the bigger organisations. Change the way of thinking.”
