Santosh Bijur, Vice President (India) and Managing Director at Lumen Technologies, was the guest speaker. Highlighting the significance of ROI, he said, “We spend enormous amount of time, energy and money on upskilling ourselves. Hence let us be on the watch for ROI as well. No skilling programme ends with a certificate in hand. Real skilling starts when we implement what we have learnt for achieving something bigger than what we have seen thus far.”
