The event witnessed the participation of several distinguished guests including Puneet Agarwal (Vice Chairman, MIET), Dr. Madhu Bala Sharma, Rohit Agarwal, Dr. K.K. Sharma, Rehan Ahmed, and Rocky Sachan, who lauded the initiative and reiterated the need for more such engagements between industry and academia.
