The Chairman of Reliance Industries and the richest person in India, Mukesh Ambani addressed students at Pandit Deendayal
Petroleum University (PDPU) on Sunday evening at Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
Ambani is one of the founders of PDPU. He spoke at the fourth convention.
Statements of Ambani
Ambani termed PDPU as one of the best private universities in the country. He told the students that he wished he were 30
years younger so that, he could enjoy the benefits of the numerous opportunities offered to students, these days.
He feels that the students of today are becoming graduates at the right time. They will have a major contribution in
creating the new face of India. According to him, a new India will manage all of its agrarian issues with the help of a
knowledgeable leadership and a digital economy.
He was impressed by the confidence of the students. He said that this confidence will help to transform India.
He said that India is an appropriate balance of the new and the old. It has traditional values and a modern outlook, which
welcomes innovative ideas from the young blood. As a result, a lot of remarkable opportunities are opened for the
youth.
Ambani’s Advice
Ambani gave some useful personal advice to the students. He tried to explain in the language of the new generation.
He told students to always keep their headphones on. He asked them to fill their ears, as well as heads with melodies of
optimism and to remove the criticism, selfish motives, and all kinds of negative thoughts. He said, treat pessimists as
noise cancellation and ignore their words. “
It is often the risk taker who changes the course of history, who
innovates, who creates something the world desperately needs and contributes to the well-being of millions of lives”,
he added.
In his second piece of advice to the students, Ambani asked them to put on their running shoes. He explained that success,
whether personal or professional is not like a sprint, which may be achieved quickly, but is more like a long and time-
consuming marathon. Long-term goals need to be planned. Being steady is more important than being quick.
He believes that today’s world is dynamic and anything is possible in this world. But, success cannot be achieved in a day
or two. Constant dedication and hard work without interruption will lead the students towards success.
He reminded the students that a marathon is not a rat race. Achieving the goals are important but not at any cost. He told
students to be compassionate along with being passionate. While moving towards their goal, they should help others and
assist the weak. He said that they should be remembered for not only doing some good deeds, but also for being good
themselves.
Ambani concluded his speech by saying that all these students will be India’s ambassadors in the world. Everyone in the
university has a lot of hopes on them. They will make a difference. He encouraged them to conquer the world and make their
families, PDPU, and the nation proud.
