Chief Guest Ms. Anushka Seth congratulated the students and said: “The communication profession is evolving rapidly, but one thing remains constant – every organisation, every leader and every community depends on trust. Our profession is a force for building understanding, strengthening connections and earning trust through telling stories that connect people, businesses and change, to create a real difference. For more than three decades, the Delhi School of Communication has built a remarkable legacy nurturing communication professionals who combine strategic thinking with creativity and purpose. I hope the students imbibe technical skills to develop curiosity, integrity and empathy to become communicators that people genuinely trust. That’s a career worth investing in”.
Mr. Seshadri Mitra, the Guest of Honour added “A whole world of discovery is waiting for you. You are going to uncover skills you didn't know you possessed, and you are going to find your true voice. Don't hold back. Share your ideas freely, laugh generously, support your peers wholeheartedly, and soak in every single moment. Ten years from now, some of you will stand on this exact stage, look out at a new batch, and realize that today was the day everything changed for the better.”
