On the 17th of August 2018, the UPES AAPG Student Chapter organized two guest lectures under the series 'Vaktavya’. Two notable speakers graced the event, one of whom was Mr. Arun Kumar, an alumnus of UPES, a pass out of the first batch in 2004. Currently, Mr. Kumar works for British Petroleum after working for various firms globally, over the years. Speaking about 'Industry opportunities and roles around digital data’, he delivered something extremely impressive equally relevant. The second speaker was Mr. Manish Verma, also a pass-out of the 2010 batch, working for Halliburton currently. He spoke about how to make your mark and how to start and grow, in what you want to venture. A wonderful way for UPES graduates to give back.
