Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL) Celebrates Silver Jubilee with Insightful Career Seminar by Dr. Arjun Vaidya in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, 30 June 2025: As part of the silver jubilee celebrations of Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL), a special career growth seminar by Dr. Arjun Vaidya was organized in Bengaluru. Conducted under the guidance of Dr. Swati Mujumdar, Dr. Arjun Vaidya addressed the audience on the topic “Reinventing Yourself for India’s Ever-Changing Job Market.”
Speaking on the occasion, he emphasized, “In the age of social media, it is important to have a digital presence and to keep it updated with relevant information. This creates a digital identity. By staying active on social media, one can open many doors to opportunities. Passion is essential in any work you do—it is this passion that makes the journey smoother. Instead of complaining, one should turn challenges into golden opportunities and build new ventures. Consistency in skills, competence, creativity, persistence, and self-belief can help achieve your goals.”
The event received an overwhelming response in Bengaluru. It saw participation from SCDL alumni, working professionals, graduates, and employees from various sectors who were interested in redefining their careers. Nikhil Vaidya, Ashish Pandita, and Jay Kolhe were also present.
Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL) is one of the largest private distance education institutions in India. Established in 2001, SCDL is a pioneer in providing flexible, high-quality education to thousands of students in India and abroad. As it celebrates its Silver Jubilee (25 years of excellence in online education), the journey has been one of empowering learners and shaping careers through innovative distance education programs. SCDL offers cutting-edge infrastructure, dedicated faculty, and advanced digital learning. It has built a strong reputation for offering industry-relevant postgraduate diploma programs across various domains. In addition to its individual learning programs, SCDL also collaborates with leading local, national, and international organizations to offer specialized corporate programs—this seminar being a part of that initiative.
Speaking about opportunities in rural areas, Dr. Vaidya said, “There are tremendous business opportunities in rural India. Even while working globally, one can start a venture by identifying key issues and make progress. By continuously meeting people, your network grows—and this is how you discover the hidden secrets of the market. Out-of-classroom experiences enrich a person. While working in large companies, employees often don’t have the visionary perspective of the company’s owner. So, instead of seeing yourself as just an employee, see the company as your own venture and make decisions accordingly. If you want to start a business, act now. Don’t waste time. In any product or service, the customer is the end user—only through customer feedback can you identify business shortcomings.”
On artificial intelligence (AI), he said, “If you fear AI, you won’t be able to use it. AI can help create strategies, but it cannot implement them—that still requires human involvement. Keep yourself updated with new things. There’s a wealth of learning available. Work in India—there are countless opportunities here. When no one else believes in you, believe in yourself and keep moving forward.”
