“Innovate Locally, Impact Globally: Empowering India’s Future” – said Mahesh Mane, Director, Purchase and Supply Continuity (India ABO), Cummins India, at Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) College of Engineering (BV(DU)COE)
He said, “despite global challenges like COVID-19, geopolitical conflicts, and supply chain disruptions, there are huge opportunities emerging in India. The country is becoming a major player in the startup ecosystem, and initiatives like “Make in India” are driving local manufacturing and entrepreneurship. Companies like Cummins are contributing to social transformation by promoting diversity and inclusion, sponsoring educational institutions, and providing on-job training. Supporting local growth is how the Indian government’s quality control measures do it. Encouraging the student to apply his skills practically could drive innovation and economic growth.
Speaking on the occasion, guest of honour Gaur Sunder said “We live in an exciting time to be students, engineers, scientists, innovators, and thinkers, led by a Prime Minister with a vision for India to become a global leader. This era presents great opportunities and challenges. The role of an engineer or innovator is to use knowledge to create meaningful changes, starting with simple solutions that impact one’s family and scaling up to address national and global challenges. Innovation requires collaboration and leveraging community strengths. Success in India, with its unique challenges and resource constraints, can lead to global success. Perseverance, passion, and a continuous quest to solve problems that improve lives are essential. Embrace the philosophy of karma from the Bhagavad Gita, aiming for contributions that benefit humanity. Find your spark of innovation, domain of interest, and the satisfaction of making a positive impact.”
