On 26^th March 2018, BBA students at SP Jain’s Mumbai campus got an opportunity to have an interactive session with Emily Menon (Founder and Executive Director - Innovaid Advisory Services) and Nidhi Pathak (Communications Manager - Ambuja Cement Foundation). The session was organised by Prof Shrinivas for the students to learn and understand all about corporate reputation & purpose, corporate social responsibility, and stakeholder engagement.

During the session, students looked at the importance of maintaining a good reputation, different stakeholders that a firm has, and why firms should care for their reputation. To round up the corporate reputation topic, the class did an exercise of Identifying companies who have a bad reputation with investors, customers, suppliers, employees, regulators, politicians, nongovernmental organizations and communities. The second topic was corporate social responsibility, and after defining CSR (minimising negative impacts and maximising positive impacts), students measured the impact that CSR has on the planet, the people and on profit.

On 20^th March 2018, SP Jain’s Dubai campus launched the Centre of Excellence for Happiness. The SP Jain Centre of Excellence for Happiness is a re-imagining of how individuals can best work and live together using core principles from the latest research findings from the Science of Happiness. The key focus areas of the Centre are creating happy communities through strategic academic and corporate partnerships, regional as well as international research, happy events (Conferences, Research Seminars, Workshops, Trainings, as well as providing independent Coaching and Consulting services), and student happiness programs. We envisage that these initiatives will eventually translate into working closely with the Government of UAE & Dubai in as many initiatives as possible, since the Government is keen on promoting Happiness across different sectors and communities.
