Ensemble Valhalla: Successful human over successful professional changes life’s perspective: R Madhavan to XLRI Jamshedpur students

Jamshedpur, March 4: Jamshedpur-born Bollywood actor R Madhavan inspired the budding managers of XLRI to become successful human rather than a professional person. Madhavan virtually addressed the XLRI fraternity along with the presence of college authorities and the students.

He fondly remembered his days in his hometown Jamshedpur and spoke about how the rapidly changing times have exposed people from all walks of life to the global culture and tradition. Emphasizing on the spirit of ‘do good; do well’, Madhavan stressed on the importance of maneuvering life by upholding the values of compassion and respect and being a successful person rather than a successful professional.

The inauguration ceremony of the annual college fest of Xavier’s School of Management, Jamshedpur- Ensemble Valhalla 2022 was held last evening in virtual mode. Continuing the tradition, the theme of the fest this year is ‘Realm of Dreams’- Build your own reality that instigates people to plunge into everything beyond ordinary.

The inaugural speech was followed by the release of the Ensemble Valhalla 2022 schedule, detailing the 30+ events and live performances by artists like Rahul Dua, Ash King, Javed Ali and Bhuwin Khursija for the three-day fest from March 4 to 6.
