Chairman

“Friends, every day is a new challenge or a bright opportunity to grow. The choice is yours! This choice is to be made today! For me, everyday is a day of enthusiastic undertakings and I really hope that the youth and teenagers of this nation too work with such freedom.

Your talent and innovation speaks for you. I am more than sure that the right guidance and a little push will make you brilliant in everything you do. You have potentials that can scale great heights. I extend my heartiest welcome to everyone who aspires to live a dream of #CareerforLife and achieve Name, Fame and Money. The time is now! “

Secretary

        Everyone dreams of achieving great things when they are young but conventional career choices bars their choices. Understanding this side of dilemma of young minds, I make sure that youth and teenagers work for their dreams to achieve a career for life.

When I was your age, I understood this too and chose the path of entrepreneurship; very unconventional and off beat.

Today, I am enjoying it to my heart’s content and I wish for all of you to have careers that are not just materially viable but emotionally healthy. It is my immense pleasure to have seen so many students pass out and work for their dream careers. They surely chose an off beat option but they are happy and learning everyday something new that is contribution to their growth. I welcome you all to this academy.
