iCON-ic moments at Stella Maris!

From our Founder’s Desk : Satyanarayanan Visvanathan

The iCON 2026 – annual flagship event organized by Stella Maris College, Chennai to deepen the corporate engagement in industry connect, was a well-conceived program, benefiting students from all the departments. The program was a harmonious blend of talks by industry leaders, life stories from founders of startups and panel discussion from the alumni of the institution. It was a privilege and joy to address the gathering of 250+ students as part of the valedictory address. It is heartening to see the increased collaboration between industry and academia which bridges classroom learning with corporate skills

Briefly touched upon my entrepreneurial ventures Yashmia Consulting and Technologies (with its twin social initiatives of nation building and women empowerment) as well as CTO Bridge. I shared thoughts on the special position of India in the world map, the importance of Nation Building and how Inquisitiveness and Innovations play a critical role. Termed as 3Is viz. India, Inquisitiveness, Innovation, it had an enthusiastic participation from the students culminating with an energetic oath taking.

Appreciate the management of the institution, the staff and students for organizing an event of this scale, in a seamless and immaculate fashion. A very special mention about Dr. Sr. Stella Mary, FMM Regi Manimegala
Dr. Lydia Arockia Mary Vanitha K. – thank you!
