MESSAGE FROM VICE CHAIRMAN
Message from the Vice Chairman
Dear Students and Parents,
It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to Valia School of Management (VSM), where our focus is to develop confident, competent, and industry-ready professionals and future business leaders.
At VSM, we believe that management education must go beyond classrooms. The corporate world today seeks professionals with strong knowledge, practical skills, digital competence, communication, adaptability, problem-solving abilities, and the confidence to contribute from day one.
Our endeavour is to build a strong bridge between academia and industry through:
Corporate interactions
Live projects
Internships
Mentorship
Guest sessions
Industrial visits
Experiential learning
We believe that employability begins from the first day of the PGDM. Our corporate and placement initiatives aim to connect students with diverse industries and career opportunities across:
Marketing & Sales
Finance & BFSI
Human Resources
Business Analytics
Operations & Supply Chain
Consulting
Digital Business
Entrepreneurship
We will continuously focus on corporate connect, internships, live projects, career readiness, professional skills, interview preparation, and industry exposure, enabling our students to understand workplace expectations and become valuable contributors to their organisations.
To our students, remember that the institution can create opportunities, but you must convert them into a career. Your attitude, discipline, communication skills, internships, networking, and willingness to learn will shape your professional journey.
To our parents, your trust in VSM is a responsibility we deeply value. Together, we aim not only to help students earn a PGDM and secure their first career opportunity, but also to prepare them for long-term professional growth and leadership.
I encourage every student to learn beyond the syllabus, engage with industry, build networks, take up internships and live projects, participate actively, and embrace challenges. Your PGDM is not merely a qualification; it is the foundation of your professional journey.
I warmly welcome you and your family to the VSM community and wish you every success in becoming future-ready professionals, responsible leaders, and valuable contributors to the corporate world and society.
With my very best wishes,
Bryan Dsouza
Vice Chairman
Valia School of Management
