Hon’ble President & Patron-in-Chief of Ganpat University Shri Ganpat Bhai Patel;
Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat and Chief Patron of today’s ceremony Shri Vijay

Hon‘ble Deputy CM and Patron of 12th Convocation Shri Nitin Bhai Patel;
Distinguished Guests, teachers and students,

I am happy to be here among all of you. This is truly a great institution.

Maruti Suzuki is happy to have the opportunity to partner with Ganpat University.
I have personally interacted with Ganpat Bhai and his team. Their long term vision and
commitment towards social upliftment through education gives me lot of confidence.

My young friends, on this special occasion, I am tempted to share with you a couple of
insights from my life experience.
For my entire career of over 30 years, I have been a part of one company: Suzuki Motor
Corporation.

This Japanese Company pioneered the auto industry in India almost 35 years ago, in
very difficult circumstances.

The secret of this company’s success is that we have always valued our customers and
tried to do whatever it takes to fulfill their needs.

We always recognize that success in the present is never a guarantee for the future.
We have to be always flexible to change and constantly work towards improving ourselves.

We also ensure that those who do business with us, such as our suppliers and dealers,
are always our partners in growth.

In my experience, these values have contributed to our long term leadership and
success in this great country.

University Convocation is the start of a new phase and a new journey.
Onset of a professional career brings in a lot of responsibility and accountability.

I hope the points I mentioned above will be useful to you.

You are blessed to have the best exposure here. Now it is your responsibility to work
towards bringing change in lives of others.

Maruti Suzuki is happy to have Ganpat University as its partner here to set up Japan-
