“Compassion is a necessary condition for happiness” – Prof. Dinesh Kumar at IIMB’s 51st Convocation

In his message to the Class of 2026, Prof. Dinesh Kumar, Director-in-charge, IIMB, reflected on how deliberate and consistent actions can lend a deeper sense of fulfilment to one’s journey to a happy life. With a touch of humour about his “zen stories”, he left students with the advice to begin their new journey with optimism and openness, even if they were not clear-sighted and sure-footed about the destination. Compassion and integrity, he said, are essential to making that journey meaningful.#IMB #51stConvocation #IIMBClassOf2026 #ManagementExcellence
