17th Convocation Ceremony of IGTC, Mumbai – 24th April, 2010

In existence since 1991, IGTC Mumbai has assiduously been working towards nurturing future managerial talent for the Indo-German member companies through its flagship program based on the famed German Dual System of Training. Today, at the 17th Convocation Ceremony of our Batch 2008 – 2010, we are proud to celebrate two decades of success.

The Chief Guests for the Convocation Ceremony were H.E. Mr. Thomas Matussek, Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany and Mr. Deepak Parekh, Chairman, HDFC Limited. Mr. Mr. A. Krishna, Vice President (Human Resources), Bosch Ltd. was a specially invited guest. Also gracing the occasion were Ms. Leena Deshpande, Senior Manager – H.R – Bharat Forge, Mr. Raju Janakiram, Chief Executive- BASF, Mr. Pradeep Phatak, General Manager-Evonik Industries, Ms. IIka Yvonee Vogel – Director KfW IPEX-Bank GmbH Representative Office, Dr. Bernd Forster, Deputy Consul General – Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany, Mumbai among many others.

The evening commenced with the welcome address by Mr. Bernhard Steinruecke, Director General, IGCC. He greeted the dignitaries on the dias, proud parents, faculties and company representatives in the audience. The IGTC topper, Mr. Ashwin Tirthakar was next to address the audience. He spoke about his experiences at the IGTC during his tenure of 18 months. According to him the institute has inculcated a value system among its students to take initiative and be self-starters. It has helped his batch mates and him in developing a competitive instinct but with a collaborative, sportsman spirit. Dr. Anil Naik, academic faculty at the IGTC spoke subsequently, and offered some last minute tips and advice to the graduating students.

Mr. A. Krishna, Vice President (Human Resources), Bosch Ltd., gave a complete run-down on Bosch’s experiences with IGTC students as well as the roles and value addition of these students at Bosch. In the words of Mr. Krishna “Students of IGTC, who have stayed with us, are approaching senior management levels in Controlling, Human Resources etc. at Bosch in India. The close association by way of projects and internships helps the students to gradually adjust to and imbibe the culture at Bosch. The hallmark Dual Training System gives the students a very clear practical edge at work, the students come out with their “heads clearly on the shoulders”, not in the clouds. The theoretical learning that they get quickly gets reinforced by correlation to actual practice that they get in their project phases, and therefore for us, as employers, the learning curve has speeded up”.

Ambassador Matussek shared his experiences with the audience where he emphasized the value of good training and stated that Germany had a lot to offer to India with respect to Dual System of education. Referring the demographic trends in the world, Mr. Matussek said that while the population is dwindling the western world and China with its one-child policy too has achieved its peak, India which is still growing in terms of population, would have half a billion workforce in ten year’s time. This could prove a very valuable asset for the entire world provided they all have access to good education.

Mr. Deepak Parekh, Chairman, HDFC Limited in his very motivational speech enlightened the students on the Mantra for Life and Success. As stated by him the age old maxim of integrity, honesty and transparency will stand the test of time. Mr. Parekh firmly believes that unless you overcome fear, success will always dodge you. According to him no experience is more enriching than learning by doing. He encouraged students to retain their individuality, not emulate others, follow their heart and trust their instincts.

Following the distinctive speeches, certificates were then awarded to all the students. This year at IGTC, Mumbai the “The Outstanding Student Award” was presented to not one but two students who have exceeding performed both academically and at their practical training stint. The honor was bestowed on Mr. Ashwin Tirthakar and Mr. Mahesh Rege.

The Vote of Thanks was proposed by Ms. Radhieka Mehta, Director – Indo German Training Centre. She expressed her deep and heart-felt gratitude to H.E., Ambassador Matussek and Mr. Deepak Parekh for their unwavering support to the German Dual System, replicated in India through the work of the IGTC. She promised to continue IGTC’s tireless efforts to be a strong service provider in the field of business management training for the member companies. And last but not the least; she congratulated the graduating class as they are ready to spread their wings to soar through the skies and scale new heights of success in life.

IGTC, Mumbai Re-Inaugurated by H.E. Ambassador Matussek
The Indo-German Training Centre, Mumbai underwent a comprehensive overhaul of its premises with state-of-the art lecture halls with wi-fi connectivity and a well equipped library.

Also present were Mr. Bernhard Steinruecke, IGCC Director General, Ms. Radhieka Mehta, IGTC Director, Mr. Mickey Dayal, former IGTC Director and Ms. Sabina Pandey, IGTC Director, Kolkata and current IGTC students. This inauguration was followed by a German welcome address by our current students – Mr. Swatchhanda Kher and Ms. Prachi Mokal. They emphasized on the German phrase ” das Können gibt es nür einen Beweiß, das tun”, which broadly implies that the ‘the proof of ability lies in doing and in doing alone.’ Now that the current IGTC had bid farewell to their seniors on the Convocation Ceremony, they promised to take on the onus of performance. The breed has to soon transform into a pedigree.
