INSPIRING MINDS

Dr. Abdul Kalam calls for ignited minds

and ethical leadership
Honourable Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India and the Chief
Guest at TAPMIs 28th Annual Convocation held on April 2, 2014, stressed on
the importance of being good leaders besides being professional managers.
Observing that ignited minds were the most powerful resource of the country,
he noted the emergence of a new world where education is not marked by
boundaries. Congratulating the graduating batch, he elicited the promise
that they would work for Indias betterment by being ethical and responsible
managers.

Ratan Tata urges future managers

to make a difference
Mr. Ratan N. Tata, Chairman Emeritus, TATA Group of Companies, interacted
with TAPMI students on diverse topics as part of the TAPMI Leadership Lecture
Series. He emphasised the need for strong leadership and the importance of
serving society with responsibility. The key to becoming a successful manager,
in his opinion, was to aspire towards making a difference in the world rather
than for personal advancement.

DIRECTORS
MESSAGE
R. C. Natarajan, PhD
Director

Management is a practitioners art. It is not inborn; it is learnt and

nurtured. Management training is what you do to a persons work
skills, whereas management education is what you do to his/her
mind. Management education at TAPMI is no different. It focuses
on students minds, their thinking process, attitudes, values,
aspirations, self-awareness, risk-bearing, tolerance to diversity,
ability to get on with the mission under tremendous adversity, and
so forth. It is this that distinguishes TAPMI from other business
schools.
TAPMI believes that education that is devoid of values and of focus
on culture is mechanistic and has no relevance to society. The
students of TAPMI inculcate values through their day-to-day life, not
through forceful compliance but by exposure to the consequences
of their actions for themselves and for society.

Structures and systems can go only a small way in this direction.

Respect for cultural diversity and inculcation of values happens in
the students over a period of two years at the campus, wherein they
encounter the challenges of scarce resources, such as time and
energy, of pressing and conflicting needs, such as project works
and pre-class preparations, of fiercely competitive scenarios, such
as academic performance, simulations, BrandScan and Atharva,
of managing their budgets, both personal and that of the Institute,
and of adjusting with those from diverse backgrounds, states,
religions, castes and academics. They learn to manage themselves
by practicing the art of management. This explains the actual theme
of TAPMIs learning culture: Management in Practice.

MESSAGE
FROM THE
PLACEMENT
CHAIR

George K. J.
Placement Chair

We, at TAPMI, are initiating the placement process for the batch
of 2013-2015. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you
for the invaluable support you have extended to us over the
years, with a special mention of the overwhelming response in
2013-14. With our mission statement To excel in post-graduate
management education, research and practice in mind, we strive
to incorporate the relevant academic inputs so that our students
who join you are not just managers but those who have imbibed
our mission: Management in Practice. We foster the belief of
continuous learning and reflection since it makes our students
achievement-oriented and creative. Our students are trained to
work with cross-cultural communities and teams, given that they
come from across 22 states of India and form a diverse spectrum
of educational backgrounds, work experiences and areas of
interest.
We are aware and mindful of the industry/organisation-specific
training that the new team members are given during the induction
programmes. Bearing this in mind we consider attitude as the
most important attribute, which not just makes them efficient
team players but also helps them evolve into effective leaders.
This is in sync with what Winston Churchill once said Attitude is a
little thing that makes a big difference.
We take great pride in our industry partnerships and constantly
strive to make this affiliation mutually beneficial. I present to you
the batch of 2013-2015.
Thank you once again.
