The ceremony, which began at 10 a.m., marked a major milestone for the Bearys Academy of Learning, with BIT hosting its 13th graduation, BEADS its 6th, and BIES celebrating its very first.

The event brought together distinguished guests, academicians, parents, and students in a grand celebration of achievement and perseverance.

Architect Kirtee Shah, President of INHAF, Founder Director of ASAG, and Chairman of BBK Collaborative, Ahmedabad, delivered a thought-provoking address on the theme ‘Cities without Slums.’ He said that “slums are signs of inequality” and called for an inclusive approach to urban development. Commending the vision of Bearys Group, he remarked, “Syed Mohamed Beary is a visionary. Humans have become destroyers of environment and wildlife; we need to introspect and change ourselves from destroyers to creators. The Bearys Group has a campus that can create such creators and creativity among young graduates.”

Prof. Uday Kumar R. Yaragatti from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, NITK Surathkal, and former Director of MNIT Jaipur, delivered the Graduation Day Address. Congratulating the graduates, he reminded them that their degree symbolises responsibility. “You should solve real-world problems and lift communities,” he said, urging them to lead sustainable change in society.

He emphasized that ethical grounding defines true success and that constant learning is essential in a world shaped by AI and data analytics. “With AI and data analytics, continuous learning has become a must for fresh graduates to stay relevant,” he noted.

Rohith Bhat, Founder of WrkWrk, 99Games, and Robosoft, shared his personal journey and offered words of patience and encouragement to the graduating class. He reminded students that success takes time, saying, “Be patient. This is just a beginning. If nothing happens in your career for six months or a year, don’t get restless or paranoid. Success comes to those who wait.”

In his presidential address, Syed Mohamed Beary, Chairman of Bearys Academy of Learning, shared life lessons on values, gratitude, and faith. He said, “We are ready for the exams of the board, but we should be ready for the exams of life. In life’s exams, the questions are different at every step.”

He urged students to uphold honesty and integrity in every aspect of life. “Whatever we are, we should always be truthful. Be trustworthy when someone trusts you. Be just and fair always,” he said, adding that generosity, empathy, and gratitude are essential virtues. “God likes generosity. It is our duty to respect nature. Have empathy and sympathy. Be grateful to God. Success will never come without sacrifice,” he reminded the audience.

He concluded by highlighting the importance of spirituality, saying, “Prayer is the greatest power on earth. While being religious, it’s important to be spiritual also.”
