Do Come Back to India after Studying Abroad, Advises L&T MD

The MD of engineering and construction giant Larsen & Toubro Limited guided students to come back to the country post the completion of their studies abroad as there are abundant professional opportunities available for them here.

“There are many opportunities in this country. Go and study abroad but do come back. You will have careers and dreams to pursue here and you must remember your alma mater and also that you have a debt to pay to this nation,” advised Krishnamurthy Venkataramanan, L&T Chief Executive and MD.
