Students urged to think out of the box

Think out of the box “as every problem has solutions, said Vineet Rai, CEO of Kesoram Rayon, West Bengal, while speaking at a special session held at Sri Kaliswari Institute of Management and Technology, Sivakasi on March 22.

Mr. Rai shared his experience from being a student of BITS-Pilani to his present day position as the CEO. He pointed out how his experience at BITS-Pilani changed his perspective, quoting the zero attendance policy still in practice there. He said there was no purifier in this world like knowledge and encouraged the students to not restrict themselves to bookish knowledge but read books beyond the academics.

He quoted the examples of ‘food king’ Sharad Babu and political strategist Prashant Kishore on how to think out of the box. He answered questions posed by the students and motivated them to market themselves like how the corporates judged the candidates by their responses, IQ, personality and ability to present themselves.
