Mentors Profile
The leadership chair was set up as part of an initiative of the former Vice-Chancellor - Fr Thomas C Mathew and an alumnus of CHRIST (Deemed to be University) Mr. Adman Praveen Kenneth. Mr. Kenneth wanted to give something valuable back to the Institution that had positively influenced him through his journey of success. Being a staunch believer in the philosophy that everyone can be a leader, Mr Praveen Kenneth expressed his desire to set up a leadership chair to bring real leadership to the forefront of conversations and engagement and to create awareness among the students of the university of the importance of personal and social leadership, in their lives and thereby contributing to societal demands.
