Leading the signing ceremony was Prof. Christopher Abraham, Professor and Head of Campus (Dubai) – SP Jain, and Mr. Sandeep Thapa, Co-Founder – MESHRM. The signing was done in the presence of Mr. Hani Hirzalla, Chairperson of MESHRM, and Mr. Aknath Mishra, SP Jain alumnus (EMBA Batch 21).
Prof. Christopher Abraham, Professor and Head of Campus (Dubai) – SP Jain, said, "At SP Jain, we believe, the growing use of technology and automation may spark the much-feared job losses. While automation would take all the jobs it could, machines are very far from emulating core human attributes — a capacity for love, empathy, creativity and critical thinking. These will become the critical skills of the 21st century. Here at SP Jain we strongly believe in innovation and empowerment, and this collaboration will allow us to create greater change together.”
