The Business Management students were privileged to host Mr. Dhruv Lakra, Founder of Mirakle Couriers, a national award-winning social enterprise that provides meaningful employment to deaf adults. A recipient of the President’s National Award and the Helen Keller Award, Mr. Lakra inspired students with his remarkable journey of building a purpose-driven business rooted in inclusion and impact.
The session was an eye-opening experience that brought the real world into the classroom, giving students a firsthand understanding of how businesses can create genuine social change. Mr. Lakra shared powerful real-life instances and dilemmas faced while building a business that balances profit with purpose. Through his candid reflections, students gained insight into the fine line between business decisions and ethical choices, and how leadership is often about empathy as much as strategy.
The interaction was deeply engaging — from a fascinating glimpse into sign language communication to discussions on inclusive employment models and sustainability. Students left the session inspired, thoughtful, and reflective, connecting their classroom learning from Paper3 on Social Enterprises to the complex realities of running one.
It was not just a talk — it was an invitation to think, question, and imagine how they, too, could be agents of change through business.
