Highlighting the current market situation and consumer behaviour, Professor Dheeraj Sharma said: “Today, we are in an era where individuals are expending resources and investing in experiences. Due to changing consumer behavior globally. Together, we are going to see a seismic shift in the mindset of the people. Today people are more idealistic, socially aware and more experience-oriented than their previous generations.”

“Meaningful innovations are more important than simple innovations. While we manage these disruptions and innovations and become resilient, we need to vary at the same time and continue to acquire the basic skills. In our endeavour to acquire high-end skills and technical advancements, we are forgetting our elementary abilities.
