Justice Gopala Gowda, Senior Advocate Raghavan and Tata Elxsi’s Bhaskar Dutt Address NMIMS Bengaluru Convocation
Bengaluru, August 2025: SVKM’s NMIMS, Bengaluru, held its Convocation 2025, conferring degrees on 350 students from the School of Law, School of Commerce and the School of Economics. The event was marked by thought-provoking addresses from eminent personalities who urged graduates to pursue careers guided by integrity, resilience and innovation.
Hon’ble Justice V. Gopala Gowda, former Judge of the Supreme Court of India, who presided as Chief Guest for the School of Law, called upon graduates to uphold the Constitution and protect public faith in the justice system. “Every time a lawyer bends rules or misleads, trust in the system weakens. Stay loyal to constitutional principles, speak truth to power, and never tolerate corruption,” he said. He urged young lawyers to confront systemic challenges such as delayed trials and undertrial cases with courage and fairness.
Guest of Honour K.G. Raghavan, Senior Advocate at the Karnataka High Court, stressed the importance of discipline and ethics. “There is no big or small opportunity — what matters is how you pursue it. Avoid shortcuts, let devotion and hard work define your life, and ensure technology is used with responsibility,” he told the graduates.
Bhaskar Dutt, Global Head – Strategic Relations at Tata Elxsi, addressed the commerce and economics graduates, highlighting the transformative role of technology. “When people, industries and technology intersect, new opportunities emerge. Whether in healthcare, retail or space exploration, innovation depends on your skills and adaptability. Take risks, pursue multiple passions, and use digital platforms to reach the world,” he advised.
The convocation also featured the release of the Annual Report 2024–25 and school magazines, presented by Dr. Narayani Ramachandran, Campus Director. She emphasised that true leadership lies in applying knowledge responsibly to serve society. Dr. Meena Chintamaneni, Pro Vice Chancellor of NMIMS, added that success must be paired with empathy and service to the community.
The ceremony concluded with the Graduation Oath and Sustainability Oath, reaffirming NMIMS Bengaluru’s mission to nurture ethical and socially responsible professionals.
