Dr. Kamakodi stressed the importance of self-confidence and asked the students to set their goals and measure them on a daily and weekly basis. He insisted on the fact that there must be something new learned every day and it is to be learned out of the normal/regular activities, seen, and worked on. He also said that one should work on his/her individual strengths rather than the traditional myth of ‘Focus on your Weaknesses.’ He made every student think over their core areas and the precise role to be achieved in the same. He said this could be made possible by creating a strategy and working on it.
The session concluded with a long Q & A session where students asked various questions about his personal life, career, banking products, banking technology, and regulations.
