GLIM 11^th Convocation Ceremony: Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon conducted its 11th Annual Convocation recently. 284 students from its two programs, Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) 2020-22 and Post Graduate Program in Management (PGPM) 2021-22, successfully graduated. The ceremony was graced by Chief Guest, Dhruv Agarwala, Founder, and CEO, REA India, the owner of digital real estate platforms Housing.com, Makaan.com, and PropTiger.com.

Delivering an inspiring convocation address, Agarwala, stated “Through discipline and measured steps, your biggest failure can be your biggest success. Never give up on yourself because you can change everything”.

Sharing some life hacks, Agarwala said, “The first hack is making decisions with the right mental model. Whenever you are faced with two choices in life, always pick the one that is more arduous and seems riskier. At the end of it, you will be rewarded much more for that than the path that seemed easier and obvious. The second hack is being persistent. Even if you fail, you must go out in a blaze of glory. Age is only a number; ultimately it’s all about your health. This is another big hack. Manage your health on daily basis and never fall off the wagon.”
