A creative mind can be developed only through spiritual roots : Mr Ravindra Prabhudesai (Managing Director, Pitambari Group of Industries)

Pune – “If industry and academics work together, we can progress better. Marketing gives a boost to industry. Spiritual quotient is as important as IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and EQ (Emotional Quotient). I received guidance from Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Athavale (Founder of Sanatan Sanstha) in this regard. As per His guidance, a person’s intellect becomes pure and more creative through spiritual practice, which gives him the power to come up with innovative ideas to work for society and implement them. It is with His grace that I have guided entrepreneurs in many places like Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg. I express my gratitude at His feet. I promise that I will use this honour for the welfare of society”, said Mr Ravindra Prabhudesai while speaking at the Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth, Pune, where he was honoured with the degree of ‘Vidyanidhi’ (D.Litt.). The Award was presented by Chancellor Dr Deepak Tilak at their 42^nd Convocation.

Renowned psychiatrist and actor Dr Mohan Agashe and Sulajja Firodia-Motwani, Executive Director of Kinetic Green Energy and Power Solutions Ltd. were also honoured with the degree of D.Litt.

Dr Mohan Agashe said, “Not only are intellect and academic quality important, but mental balance and sensitivity too are important”. Sulajja Firodia-Motwani said, “We are working to promote ‘electric mobility’ while doing business based on the principles of patriotism and self-reliance. Our resolve is to provide eco-friendly, green and economical vehicles”.
