MISB Bocconi (Mumbai International School of Business) has recently organised the graduation ceremony of its second batch.

The ceremony was presided by Ratan Tata, Chairman of Tata Trusts, Andrea Sironi, Rector of Universita Bocconi, and Stefano Caselli, Vice-Rector for International Affairs of Universita Bocconi, Milan, Italy.

After 22 months of grueling schedules and international academic rigour, the Class of 2015 was awarded certificates for the Post Graduate Programme in Business, and a Diploma in International Business from SDA Bocconi School of Management.

“We are at an important time in India’s history. When you step out of the academic world into the real world, the opportunities before you hopefully are going to be quite enormous," said Tata in his address.

"Being an entrepreneur or starting your own enterprise, as against joining the traditional company, has become the style of the day. If you have a good idea, and good funding, then the opportunities for you are considerable, if you are willing to take the risk."

Andrea Sironi, who is leading the Academia at Università Bocconi, spoke about international exposure shaping young global minds, and emphasised the importance of behaviour as a citizen.

“Independence of mind not only notions ability to critically reason and own independent opinion, but always challenge, which is very important as future citizens and managers,” said Sironi.

Students have to attend a 4-month specialisation semester at Bocconi, Milan and also have the option to attend a campus abroad programme either in the North American or Asian partner universities, during their second year.

The event was held in the presence of Lorenzo Angeloni, Ambassador of Italy to India and Nepal; Ugo Ciarlatani, Consul General of Italy; Indu Shahani, Former Sheriff of Mumbai and Principal of HR College; and Deepak Sood, MD, Avantha Ergo Life Insurance.
