Speaking on the occasion, Jayesh said, “Few years back when I paid a visit to ICFAI University, I told students and management that many are in pursuit of engineering but there are very few jobs. Instead of seeking jobs, I told them to become job givers. Few years later now I see them with an invention,” he said congratulating Shashank and Aditya, the founders.
