The release ceremony was graced by the presence of esteemed guests Dr. P.S. Aithal, Director of Poornaprajna Institute of Management, and Mr. Shree Harsha Upadhya, CEO of Les Saveurs, who officially launched the book. This momentous occasion was a proud moment for the entire PIM community, highlighting their commitment to academic excellence and knowledge dissemination.
