In association with the Centre for Innovation, Incubation & Enterprise (CIIE), Savitribai Phule Pune University, Pune, DIMR successfully organized a motivating session titled:
🎯 “Breaking Barriers: From ‘Can I?’ to ‘I Can’”
The session was delivered by Mr. Milind Ambatkar, Founder of Candent Technologies, who shared his inspiring professional and entrepreneurial journey with students.
Having worked with reputed organizations like TATA, WIPRO, Infosys, and KPIT, Mr. Ambatkar began his career as a Programmer and SAP Consultant and progressed to leadership roles including Service Delivery Manager and SAP Basis Global Competency Head. Prior to his IT journey, he served in diverse roles such as IT Executive at TATA Press, Production Engineer in the electronics industry, Visiting Lecturer, Trainee Engineer at MSEB, and Director of a Computer Institute.
One of the most inspiring highlights of the session was how he started his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 45 and successfully navigated the ups and downs of business.
🔹 Key Takeaways:

✅ Networking isn’t just talking; it’s building your future.
✅ Capital & Sustainability: The nuts and bolts of staying in the game.
The room was buzzing as students traded the hesitation of ‘Can I?’ for the conviction of ‘I Can.’ We owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Ambatkar for proving that innovation has no expiration date—age is merely a number, but ‘I Can’ is a lifelong mindset.
