Magis, February 2018

Dear Readers,

It is a pleasure to share the February 2018 issue of Magis. In December 17’ we

hosted the Alumni Homecoming wherein we felicitated nine alumni who have

distinguished themselves in various professional roles across sectors in India and

abroad. It is truly heartening to note that XLRI has over 14,000 alumni serving

reputed organisations across six continents.

Encouraging Whole-Person Growth

At XLRI we strive towards

integral formation

whereby students are encouraged

to nurture their intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social persona to evolve as

well-rounded human beings furthering greater common good. Student societies

are encouraged to foster

whole-person

growth. Annual events like

Ensemble-

Valhalla

Gnosis

Synergy

, are classic examples of stupendous efforts put in by

student societies beyond their curriculum framework.

Promoting Solidarity

The students and staff in XLRI are always encouraged to contribute their mite for

the underserved sections of our society. This issue of Magis features

SIGMA

and

Samarthya’s

initiatives in this direction.

Fostering Thought Leadership

XLRI hosts numerous conferences, seminars and orations on a regular basis to

foster thought leadership among internal and external stakeholders. This issue

features the

International Conference on Assessment Centres

organised by the

Centre for HRD. We are also covering

Dr. J J Irani’s

eloquent address for the

JRD Tata Oration

as a part of our significant annual orations organised to foster

and advance thought leadership.

Shaping Responsible Leaders

We hope that the articles covered in this issue give you a glimpse of our modest,

yet consistent efforts to help shape responsible business leaders of tomorrow.
