JAMMU, Aug 8: As part of its 25th Silver Jubilee Year celebrations, Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL) today organized a special HR Round Table Conference in Delhi.
The event received an overwhelming response from various corporate HR professionals, career changers, and those looking to advance in their careers.
The event was graced by Dr Swati S Mujumdar, Principal Director, Symbiosis Open Education Society, Sonali Kadam, Deputy Director, SCDL and Ashish Pandita, Corporate Head.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Swati, Principal Director, Symbiosis Open Education Society, said, “It is heartening to see corporate trainers, HR leaders and alumni gathered here in such large numbers. SCDL emerged from Symbiosis Institute of Management Studies, established in 1995. It was started based on a suggestion from General AluValiya, who proposed offering courses for armed forces personnel who could not travel to Pune. This idea was presented to Chancellor Dr S B Mujumdar and led to the formation of SCDL.”
She said, “Symbiosis was started by a teacher. Dr S B Mujumdar who was an educator. There’s a big difference between a businessperson starting an educational institute and a teacher founding one. Today, Symbiosis alumni are making their mark not just in India but across the globe.”
To commemorate this historic milestone, SCDL is organizing a series of Career Growth Seminars across the country. This seminar in Delhi was part of that initiative, offering valuable and free learning opportunities for India’s youth and professionals.
The discussions covered wide-ranging topics such as industry transitions, new work methodologies, emerging technologies and machinery, cross-collaboration across functions, best practices within companies, demand and supply of skilled talent, expectations versus realities in the corporate world, use of information, identification of fraudulent candidates and the need for reskilling, upskilling and cross-skilling.
Prominent HR professionals from organizations, who attended the RTC include Flipkart, Zee Entertainment Enterprises, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Niva Bupa Health Insurance, Capgemini, Shell, Christ University, Wipro, TELUS Digital, EZ Railway Infrastructure Ltd., Auric Group, iValue Infra Solutions, Fuji Electric, ANSR Global, Mecoson, Mitsubishi, CMS IT Services and several others.
