He assured that FKCCI would take three interns per year. Apart from internships, he also urged students to take up evening jobs, involve in projects to hone their skills.
Mr. Ramkumar Seshu brilliantly engaged the students by asking them to do some mental and physical exercises. His talk revolved around building confidence in the young minds about their future course of action.
