Convocation Ceremony

“Today is not just a gathering for celebration of individual successes, but a monumental chapter in the history of our institution. 2024 has been a year of achievements and several learnings. We experimented and built every element of the “excellence with impact” model. At the core is the excellence driven by our 4 innovation schools – School of Manufacturing Technologies, School of Manufacturing Design and AI, School of Sustainability and School of Robotics. Each School is supported/mentored by a leading global academic institution and a host of industry partners.”

“As the first graduating class, you dared to dream with us, to venture into the unknown and to help build this institution from its very foundation. Today is a day of gratitude.”

“Graduates, you hold the tools to build a future that is smarter, safer, and more just than what it is today. So be bold, be curious, break barriers and serve humanity.”

“NAMTECH has a visionary approach. The Convocation & MET Expo today are the culmination of a noble vision, unwavering perseverance, and steadfast dedication. NAMTECH’s focus on skilling at high scales for manufacturing and engineering sectors is pertinent and praiseworthy. Posterity will acknowledge this impactful initiative and its institutional model that would bring up future-ready high-tech workforce for India and the world.”

“I am filled with immense pride and gratitude. It is indeed a great honor to address the first-ever convocation of NAMTECH, a landmark occasion that will be etched in our memories forever. I commend the founders and faculty of NAMTECH for creating a unique institution that is not just a center of academic excellence but also a beacon of hope for the future of engineering in India.”

“I must acknowledge the parents, for sacrifices that have made this day possible; and the students, that your hard work has brought you to this proud moment. I wish all of you all the very best in life. I am sure that the learning, that you have achieved so far, has widened your horizon and you are ready to put in your best possible efforts to make India a great and developed nation.”

“We must harness the transformative power of new technologies to rethink and reimagine every aspect of our society and economy. The goal is to build a Viksit Bharat, where every Indian has access to quality education, healthcare, clean air, clean water, and meaningful livelihood opportunities.”

“India has the potential to not only be an integral part of global value chains – from manufacturing to agriculture – As a developed nation, we should aim to reach a share of 10% in global trade (merchandise) by 2047 (currently at 2% in 2022). We must raise our ambition to lead the world in developing a human-centric approach that drives economic growth alongside societal development. This vision is within our reach, and our ability to leverage frontier technologies are the key to unlocking it.”

“I am impressed by NAMTECH’s vision of creating a cadre of ‘Conscious Technologists’ which would play a key role in country’s ambition of being the hub of smart manufacturing globally.”
