The event brought together families, friends, faculty, staff, and peers in a shared celebration of achievement and community. Gracing the occasion as Chief Guest was Ms. P V Sindhu, two-time Olympic medalist and former Badminton World Champion, whose inspiring presence and words of encouragement resonated deeply with the graduating class. The ceremony was led by Vice Chancellor Prof. Dishan Kamdar and Pro Vice Chancellor Prof. M.A. Venkatramanan, alongside members of the Governing Body, whose presence underscored the significance of the moment. More than a ceremonial farewell, the event was a powerful testament to the values FLAME University upholds and the lifelong connections it fosters, reminding all in attendance of the extraordinary community they are part of.

Message from the
Chief Guest

Dreams are free, but the rent is due every single day. And no one else can pay it for you. You’re not always going to feel inspired. You’re not always going to feel strong. But if you just show up, especially on the days you don’t feel like it, you’re already ahead of most. Remember, winning is beautiful, but becoming someone you respect? That’s the real gold medal. So chase dreams that scare you, work till it hurts, fail with pride, and show up every single day. Because in the end, it’s not just about reaching the top. It’s about becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be.

Ms. P V SINDHU

Two-time Olympic Medalist and
Former Badminton World Champion

Message from the
Pro Vice Chancellor

Success is rarely a straightforward journey. Instead, it resembles a winding road, intricately shaped by the resilience that allows us to rise after every fall, the curiosity that drives us to explore new horizons, and the courage to embrace the lessons hidden within unexpected detours. Rather than viewing uncertainty as a stumbling block, consider it a blank canvas filled with diverse possibilities for growth and transformation. Continue to evolve, be curious in your quest, and above all, nurture the strength that resides deep within you, ready to take you forward.

Prof. M.A. Venkataramanan

Message from the
Valedictorian

To retrospect and look back at the time we have spent here, we are a group of very fortunate students to have had such exceptional facilities—be it housing, the sports complex, or the classrooms. We were also fortunate to have chosen the subjects of our choice, received numerous research opportunities and publications, brought our businesses onto campus, attended multiple alumni interaction sessions, workshops, and events, and had the freedom to pursue our small dreams like starting our own clubs. These, along with many other things, have helped us become more focused and enabled us to grow as better decision-makers, communicators, and leaders.
