Public talks have been the most popular way of imparting precious knowledge. IZee Business School adopted the same ideology and launched an equivalent conference named “iTalk Unplugged.” The first session was consequently held on 11th December 2024, titled “From Dreams to Achievements.” Mr. Raghu Murthy, the Senior Vice President and Zonal Head at Edelweiss, and Mr. Mohamed Rehan, a partner at O2 Financials, were the speakers for the first session. The session was structured with the guests sharing their incredible journeys and leadership experiences, conclusively inspiring students to embrace challenges and struggles as opportunities.
Mr Raghu Murthy reflected on the journey from modest beginnings to being one of the leaders at Edelweiss. He attributed his success to discipline, resilience, and mentorship from leaders like Deepak Jain and Radhika Gupta. He started his big journey with JP Morgan and then transitioned to Edelweiss, building a team of 40 from scratch—all with his persistent determination and strategic vision.
Mr Mohamed Rehan’s story followed that of Mr Murthy’s. He distilled invaluable insights from his financial expertise, motivating students to think innovatively and lead purposefully.
A Q&A discussion between the experts Raghu and Rehan and the students and, surprisingly, the faculties at the best MBA college in Bangalore succeeded, where the experts answered their questions regarding investment decisions, careers, etc. Prof. Nancy Thiara, the Director of Corporate Relations at IZee, and Mrs. Rani Srinivas, the Director of Career Development Cell, dignified the event with their presence. The faculty and students were extended a message of gratitude for making the event a huge success.
Overall, the event can be concluded in three words: perseverance, collaboration, and leadership. It was a great experience hosting Mr Raghu Murthy and Mr Mohamed Rehan as guest speakers for the first-ever iTalk Unplugged. Such sessions are great for the students to provide them with industry-specific insights, a core offering of the top B schools in Bangalore. The students and faculty are highly anticipating the upcoming iTalk expert sessions.
