2021-03-26 12:51:52 UTC

Thank you!

2021-03-26 13:22:40 UTC

Watching you speak in the acad block was by far the best experience for me at SPJIMR. Hope you keep visiting us and share your great stories, because we are going to miss you A LOT. We are indeed very lucky to have had you as our dean, be it for just one year! :)

2021-03-26 13:22:46 UTC

Thank you sir!!

We'll miss you!

2021-03-26 13:23:44 UTC

Keep visiting, sir! <3

I have an excel of your quotes! You were one of the most eloquent speakers I ever came across. Thank you Ranjan sir!

2021-03-26 13:26:01 UTC

Thank you sir! :)

pgp20shashank — 2021-03-26 13:26:20 UTC

THANK YOU SIR <3

shubhamguptakkr — 2021-03-26 13:28:53 UTC

We hope you keep visiting us and keep making a difference in our MBA journey as you have always done till date !!

2021-03-26 13:32:02 UTC

It has been an absolute pleasure listening to your stories. Thank you sir!!

You motivate us to push ourselves and be better.

2021-03-26 13:32:06 UTC

Wish I become just as good an orator as you are, one day.

2021-03-26 13:33:44 UTC

Thank you for everything!

pgp20garimap — 2021-03-26 13:36:28 UTC

Sir, thank you for inspiring us, guiding us and motivating us. Wish to meet you soon! :')

All the best for your journey ahead! :)

Transfer of Conviction!!!!

2021-03-26 13:40:45 UTC

Thank you for Everything, Sir!

2021-03-26 13:46:31 UTC

You're one of the most amazing persons that I've come across, always loved listening to your speeches. Your words can soothe any person and transform him/her into one beaming with positive energy!

All the best for your next journey! :)

2021-03-26 13:58:18 UTC

Thank you for all the momories sir!!

Thank You Sir!

2021-03-26 14:23:08 UTC

I still remember how you sat with us and shared your thoughts on Independence Day, after the program. Though you've addressed us many times and have left an impact every single time, what we liked best was the encouragement and openness provided by you. Those sessions with you during the lockdown when you spoke to us in groups speaks volumes about how much you cared about our well being and the future. Would've been great to visit the campus as an alumni with you still as the Dean, but here's wishing you the best on your new journey. We will always be your students.
PS - I think half the batch read Ikigai after you recommended it :)

Three things

2021-03-26 15:06:36 UTC

1. You're an inspiration
2. Transfer of conviction
3. We'll miss you, sir

Thank you sir!!

2021-03-26 15:19:15 UTC

Thank you sir

pgp20navya — 2021-03-26 15:51:06 UTC

I can listen to you speaking anytime and that is how interesting, fresh and amazing you share your thoughts through your experience. I still have it live in my memory, my first interaction with you. Thank you for everything and will definitely miss interacting with you!

Thank you so much for everything, Sir!

2021-03-26 15:59:10 UTC

I had loved your classes, be it YTT or Strategic Marketing!
You have a great aura and always bring positivity into any class/zoom link that you walk into.
The small session before our Autumns on how to prepare and present ourselves in the interviews surely had a great impact on my preparation and confidence.

A memory that would stick with me would be how you had thumped and encouraged me as I gave a pitch in the faculty meeting for a committee event.

It surely would have been great to visit campus for convocation and be awed by your speech again! However, I am sure you would always remember us as your students and you will surely be missed!

Thank you for all the amazing lessons you have taught, none better than "Focus on the product, positioning will take care of itself"

2021-03-26 16:38:53 UTC

Dear Ranjan Sir

2021-03-26 17:39:05 UTC

It was an honor getting to know you Sir. SPJIMR was always a dream for me. But,
Getting into SPJIMR + Being mentored by you = Truly blessed & fulfilled.

We love you, We respect you Sir.
Thank you for being part of our journeys.
You will always be remembered by SPJIMR.

2021-03-26 17:43:09 UTC

WE LOVE YOU SIR. YOUR LEAVING HAS LEFT A PERMANENT VOID IN OUR HEARTS. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SIR..

The larger point

pgp19varun — 2021-03-26 17:44:03 UTC

In your typical style, I have 3 things to say:

1. Your articulation is unparalleled.
2. You have a tremendous ability to convert complex problems into simpler ones.
3. Your leadership is awe-inspiring!

But my larger point is that we'll miss you. Thank you for everything!

Thank you so much Sir..

2021-03-26 17:45:07 UTC

We love you Sir. 💓 💓 💓 💓

2021-03-26 17:46:15 UTC

Thank you for transferring conviction to our lives Sir..

2021-03-26 17:47:37 UTC

As you move on from SPJIMR to take on new challenges, I wish to express my gratitude to you for all the learnings and inspiring talks throughout the PGDM journey.

Thank you for guiding us, the students and the institution SPJIMR all these years. I consider myself lucky to be part of your journey.

Best wishes to you for the exciting times ahead.

Thank you, Sir!

2021-03-26 18:22:52 UTC

It was indeed an honor to attend your classes, interact with you and listen to your inspiring stories. I must say your kind words have always motivated us, encouraged us to always do better and transformed our personalities with numerous lessons for life.

I feel incredibly lucky to have had you as our dean at SPJIMR. All the best for your journey ahead and best wishes, Sir! :D

Thank you for your amazing sessions Sir. We learnt a lot from you.

2021-03-26 19:42:32 UTC

Thank you Sir!!

2021-03-26 19:51:56 UTC

It has always been a pleasure to hear you speak Sir. Every class you took had a value addition for us. I will always remember your stories on happy accidents, the IIM C reunion, and the Asian Paints days. 'Transfer of Conviction' and JOMO(Joy of Missing Out) has a share of my mind. Your candid conversation in the Acad block will be an experience to cherish - the experience of having shared a classroom with The Dr. Ranjan Banerjee. Wishing you the very best for your next adventure. It has been an absolute honor to have known you and I hope our paths cross sometime in the future.

2021-03-26 20:07:36 UTC

Thank you sir!

2021-03-26 20:09:12 UTC

Thank you so much for being an absolutely amazing mentor and teacher. I feel extremely fortunate because I had the opportunity to learn from you and get guided by you. I learnt the true meaning of leadership and oratorship from you. I wish you all the best for your future endeavours, sir.

P.S.- No one’s sung the ‘Jab Koi Baat x 500 Miles’ mashup better than you :)

Thank you sir!

pgp20agrima — 2021-03-26 21:13:42 UTC

Learning from the best - "It is more difficult to handle extreme success because we attribute success to ourselves and failures to others."

Among other things, you taught me the importance of being grounded and to do the right things to do things right. I have your words etched in my mind and they've helped me every step of the way. Thank you Ranjan sir, hope to meet you some day! :')

Thank you

2021-03-27 02:50:40 UTC

Thank you sir for really showing us what a journey mindset is and how not to be fixated with anything good or bad

Thank you Ranjan Sir

2021-03-27 04:13:17 UTC

We'll miss you sir!

pgp20mahak — 2021-03-27 05:06:32 UTC

Sir, you have truly been an inspiration. Though our batch couldn't interact a lot with you but through whichever sessions we got a chance, it has been our privilege to hear you out. One thing I'll never forget from your session and also firmly believe in, is that "Never use your designation for your introduction". Your humility and wittiness are something which I truly adore.

Though we all are happy for you but at the same time, sad as well that we would missing out on your enriching lectures. Wishing you great health and success, and hope to meet you again in future:)

2021-03-27 05:21:44 UTC

Thank you for being an inspiration ! Keep visiting :)

Thank you and good luck

2021-03-27 05:23:46 UTC

Thank you sir, wish I could learn more from you. Wish you the best

CONVICTION TRANSFERRED.

2021-03-27 05:24:46 UTC

I thoroughly enjoyed YTT course taken by you and Snehal Shah ma’am. Your classes were enriching and full of knowledge along with unique perspective to view situations. Thank you for all your contributions in my learning

2021-03-27 05:25:04 UTC

Heartfelt thanks and best wishes!

2021-03-27 05:28:10 UTC

An entrepreneur, academician and a great leader ‐ you have positively influenced me every time you've interacted with us, whether it was in-person, virtual batch meets or on other occasions. I have seen great leaders express their views, handle difficult situations ‐ but your methodology has always been the most effective. Right from Day 1, you have guided us and mentored us when we needed it the most. It was an honour to learn under your guidance. Marketing 3.0 is one of my personal favourites.

Wish you all the success and hope you continue to positively impact lives.

Let me tell you a story

2021-03-27 05:30:23 UTC

Well, that's how you began speaking sir and each story had it's own flavour.
To listen to your lectures, we all woke up from the bed no matter what time it was.
Online lectures were difficult to focus to, not when you took.
Whether videos were on or off, we all had our ears open.
Be it any lecture or workshop, you made interesting with your examples.

I would end with a sentence-
"If speaking was an art then you are the picasso of it"

Thank you sir and All the best

pgp20alice — 2021-03-27 05:31:12 UTC

I remember all the inspiring words said by you..it keeps us all motivates through this journey...Thank you Sir😃

Quite Jealous of BITS SOM

2021-03-27 05:31:20 UTC

Thank you sir! You are one of the coolest Dean any campus could ever get. Your practicality tethered with your humility, and approachable nature has made everyone admire you. Quite jealous of BITS SOM to be honest. Coming back to campus, sometime as an Alumni now, wouldn’t be same. However, we would wish to celebrate our batch’s Reunion and Spandan with you. After all, we all graduated (you and us) from SP together.

2021-03-27 05:31:21 UTC

You define SPJIMR. Whenever we look back at SP, we'll be looking back at the mentorship, leadership and three taps on the mic of Prof Dr. Ranjan Banerjee!

Thank you for being there

You will be missed!

2021-03-27 05:37:11 UTC

pgp20sharmishtha — 2021-03-27 05:37:57 UTC

Dear Sir, You have always been an inspiration and helped us to stand tall in every situation. The values and your teachings will be ingrained in us always, thank you for your support and mentorship. All the best for future endeavors! 😊

Thank you sir!

2021-03-27 05:38:04 UTC

The warmth we felt at SP was because you resonated our beliefs and what SP stood for, making it feel like home. Your stage presence and authenticity would always win our hearts! I hope you always shine your light our way and guide us when we need it! Hoping our paths cross soon!

Dear sir,

2021-03-27 05:40:28 UTC

Your charisma is infectious. Every time you have appeared on our screens for delivering a lecture or for a talk, there has never been a boring moment. You have kept us glued to the screens to an extent that we even forgot to check our phones for straight 2 hours! Each word that has come out from you has been an inspiration! Please keep coming to the institute and please try not to make those who have known you miss your presence! With lots of respect and love :)

pgp20shreelakshmi — 2021-03-27 05:41:14 UTC

Recently I had the opportunity to witness the same question asked to you thrice and the way you answered them so (for the lack of a better term) naturally and differently while retaining the essence had me MIND = BLOWN!

Three things I have learnt from you :
1. Be honest and be open to ideas.
2. Talk to people and understand them.
3. Be grounded and true to yourself.

We have said this a hundred times already and this thought will stay with us for a long time - We'll miss you. We'll always cherish your classes and really hope there are more to come! Thank you for everything, sir! :)

pgp20prachid — 2021-03-27 06:13:56 UTC

One of the best things that I shall cherish at SPJIMR, was listening to you. The FOMO session has been my favourite till date. A lot of times when I was losing direction, listening to you has gotten me back on path. Thank you sir for inspiring us along the journey. With love and respect, we will miss you sir :)

Thank you Sir!

2021-03-27 06:20:49 UTC

Sir, You are one of the coolest Dean as well as a great mentor. I, like many of us, am a fan of your oratory skills and story telling skills. SPJIMR will surely miss you. 🥺

To the best Dean ever!

2021-03-27 06:26:30 UTC

Sir, it was an honour to listen to you and also sit in your classes. If we could be even 1% as good as you, our MBA's would be worth it. Thank you for your time and guidance. You will remain a big part of my SP experience.

Farewell Sir!

2021-03-27 06:34:30 UTC

To one of the most eloquent speakers that I've heard live, your ability to articulate your thoughts into words is something I truly admire. Your leadership style and ability to bond with students is something all of us love. I feel lucky to have had an opportunity to interact with you and you will be a big part of SP's legacy.
Thank you and All the best sir! :)

2 years, and I am still in complete awe of you sir

2021-03-27 06:36:23 UTC

Having said that, I would also like to say that I have found you extremely approachable over these 2 years. Your nuggets of gyaan, take on difficult topics and the warmth that you spread are a few of the many things about you that I'll always remember. Your words somehow gave the assurance that everything is going to turn out just fine! It won't be a stretch if I said you are the best thing about SPJIMR. I was sad, maybe a little angry also, when I received the news that you'll be leaving SPJIMR. But then, one should always do what is best for him. BITSoM is surely in good hands. I hope to stay in touch with you in the future. All the best for your next challenge! We all love you for the brilliant experience that you have provided us at SPJIMR 💜

LOVED YOUR CONCEPT OF 30 MIN FAVOURS!!!

2021-03-27 07:05:50 UTC

All the Best Sir!!

2021-03-27 07:27:04 UTC

Thank you for your enlightening and enjoyable speeches, sir, we'll miss the spark and sincerity your words were full of. I sincerely hope we won't stop listening to you.

Farewell Ranjan sir <3

pgp20saurabhd — 2021-03-27 07:33:23 UTC

There is always something about you that just holds us and makes us speechless every time we hear you!
Life-long lessons for us:
1. Quotes and Quotes and Quotes
2. Ability to articulate everything in three points
3. 30 min favor concept

Quoting you again and again: "Sentiment will lead you in predictable directions", I hope our directions do match someday in the future <3

KEEP INSPIRING FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE.

2021-03-27 07:39:33 UTC

I have never attended any event at SP because of the event's importance but you made it important to me because of your 5-10 mins of inspiring speech. I will definitely miss short stories about your job, student life and your Dean's interview process at SP. Thank you and keep inspiring from wherever you will be working in future.

I used to share many GIFs with the batch to spread laughter. But this GIF makes me more emotional...

2021-03-27 07:43:08 UTC

Thank you sir for motivating and inspiring us to push our limits always :)

SPJIMR will miss you

2021-03-27 08:25:18 UTC

I still remember the first time when I heard you speak. You were so relatable. Aapne kaha thaa ki MBA se agar 2-3 cheezen bhi seekhke jaa rahe ho toh then your work is done. It is not about the quantity but the quality of learning which is important. I loved your Interview guidance sessions and benefitted a lot from it. Thank you for everything, Sir!

Thank you for instilling a calm in us ❤️

2021-03-27 08:41:28 UTC

You have the ability to make an entire bunch of anxious kids feel secure in the most unpredictable times. I believe that's the highest in the hierarchy of leadership capabilities. You are loved and will be dearly missed.

Thank you so much, Ranjan Banerjee Sir! 😊

2021-03-27 09:13:46 UTC

Thank you for always supporting us. My personal interactions with you have been regarding the Quizzing Club. You're an awesome Quizzer and thanks for promoting the Quizzing Culture at SPJIMR.

Thank you for always inspiring us!

2021-03-27 09:20:05 UTC

Your words kept me going even in the toughest of times. Keep inspiring, sir!

Takeaways

2021-03-27 09:22:34 UTC

- Picking the battles that you want to fight
- Not seeing yourself as a victim, accepting what is happening, and finding a way forward
- Do good where you are today, it will increase the power that you have, then do some more good

I learned many more things from you, but I think these are the ones that changed my life for good.

Your sessions during the lockdown really helped me go through a difficult time and I will always cherish everything that you taught us.

Hasta La vista and good luck

2021-03-27 09:36:33 UTC

Thank you sir for your wonderful YTT sessions, your "convincing " talks. Not going to lie ... A little miffed at BITSOM. Hope that this new phase in life takes you to greater heights and may you keep enriching minds

The Opportunity of a lifetime

2021-03-27 09:39:17 UTC

What a bittersweet moment this is ! Thank you so much for always being charismatic, authentic and relentlessly inspiring us ! Hope our paths cross someday sir!

You've changed my perception of a leader!

2021-03-27 09:57:47 UTC

I remember the 'chicken sandwich story' from your first day at SPJIMR, and instantly I knew, you're my home away from home (literally too, since we share the same hometown). I am blessed that years from now I can tell people that I got my PGDM from SPJIMR during Dr. Ranjan Banerjee!

We love you sir!

2021-03-27 10:13:13 UTC

us on the product, positioning will take care of itself"

Thank You

2021-03-27 10:29:06 UTC

Thank You Ranjan Sir for everything. There are very few teachers who go beyond their courses to give life lessons. Deep down everyone of us needed those 2 cents from you about Life. We needed direction and you gave it to us. Thank You so much. Wish you all the best for future!
