A special message from the President of Dhirubhai Ambani University, Tina Anil Ambani, was shared with the graduating class. In her message, she emphasised that while you continue to push the envelope in terms of technology-driven innovation, let human-centred design be your differentiator. She further added that while chasing your goals, never lose sight of your greatest asset: your health. Physical and mental health underpin every endeavour you embark upon and shore you up in times of stress and struggle. So, be proactive; nurture your bodies and nourish your minds.

 

Marking its 25-year journey, the University has instituted the Distinguished Alumni Award to recognise alumni who have demonstrated exemplary professional excellence and meaningful societal contribution. The inaugural award has been conferred upon Mr. Pavitar Singh, a 2005 B.Tech (ICT) graduate, in recognition of his notable achievements and long-standing association with DAU. The formal presentation of the award will take place at a dedicated felicitation ceremony to be held separately.
