In a bid to prepare its postgraduate students for placement and interview, the Placement Office of St. Xavier’s University, Kolkata (SXUK) in collaboration with Department of Commerce organised a special lecture by an eminent professional on ‘Placement talk and work culture’ on August 16, 2023.

The guest speaker was Mr. Anirup Sen, Chief Operating Officer of Jardine Henderson Limited, Kolkata.
