2015 Message by the FOUNDER PRESIDENT It is my obsession, junoon and one of the missions of my life that the potential of each one of my students and alumni develops to the fullest. It is always my continuous endeavour to look for new findings, gather experiences and do research to fulfill my above dream. My dear alumni, I wish to share with you, that if I have achieved any success in my professional career, entrepreneurial career and personal life, it is all because of my uncompromising urge to attain the highest success in whatever I pursue. You, my dear alumni, have been my students for many years, have taken breath in an environment, in the air, which has given you the utmost urge to have distinguished identity in your professional/ entrepreneurial and personal career. It is very easy to reach the pinnacle of success – for that, you have to dream big, dream with open eyes and make a roadmap to reach such great heights. That is all. But one thing, while pursuing your mission and goal, you should not deter from your path, no matter, whatever challenges, adversities and difficulties come in your way. I am confident that having the genes of your worthy grand-parents and parents and other noble senior blood relations and having inherited their values and sanskars and this coupled with education at Amity, where the power of Brahmastra “Behavioural Science” has been instilled in you, I am sure each one of my alumni would make a success story and thus, would become pride for their family, for Amity and for the whole nation and would contribute tremendously in making India a Superpower.
