Speaking on the occasion, Nrupendar Rao exhorted the youth by saying that this country belongs to you. “India is young as 50 per cent of the population is below 25 years and no other country is in this advantageous position and there are tremendous opportunities for the youth to capitalise on.

According to Citibank and Goldman Sachs report, India which is the fourth largest economy today will be in third position by 2020 and the number one economy and economic super power by 2050,” he said.

“Entrepreneurs initiating start ups are job creators and not job seekers, therefore you are the masters of your destiny. This journey of entrepreneurship is arduous, there will be several obstacles in your path don't give up and continue with perseverance to achieve your goal.

You should nurture loads of competitive spirit, face challenges boldly and think out of the box to be successful in your endeavour,” he encouraged the students.
