The students of PGDM and PGDM ( PM) had the privilege of visiting the Camlin Kokuyo Factory and the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM) at Patalganga on an industry visit on 17 and 18 October,2024. It was an enriching experience that provided valuable insights into two distinct industries. At the Camlin Kokuyo Factory, they observed the meticulous process behind the production of everyday stationery, including markers, glues, adhesives, and art supplies. The production unit was equipped with high-end, automated machines that ensured precision and efficiency in every process. Behind these advanced technologies were dedicated and skilled employees whose hard work maintained the consistent quality of Camlin’s iconic products. Watching the transformation of raw materials into familiar products from their childhood was both nostalgic and educational. The company's emphasis on innovation and sustainability left a lasting impression.
Their visit to NISM was equally engaging, offering a deeper understanding of financial markets and regulatory frameworks. The interactive session covered key aspects of securities market operations, investment strategies, and the critical role SEBI plays in maintaining market integrity. As future business leaders, these insights were incredibly valuable. They expressed sincere appreciation to Camlin and NISM for welcoming them and providing such an insightful experience. They were truly grateful to their college for organizing the visit and extended thanks to the faculty and administration for making it possible.
