The Instagram photos show that both Kamath and Ambani gave speeches during the ceremony. Kamath was also presented with a bouquet of flowers upon his arrival.

Notably, Nikhil Kamath, the guest of honour for the prestigious school, is a high school dropout. He left school at 15 or 16 and later became one of India's youngest billionaires through Zerodha, the brokerage firm he co-founded with his brother Nithin Kamath.

At a conversation with the CEO of LinkedIn last year, Nikhil Kamath mentioned that he never enjoyed school. He actually said he “hated” it.

However, he also recognised that dropping out had its disadvantages. “Dropping out of school and not pursuing formal higher education had its drawbacks. I was a fairly insecure young boy because my classmates of the time were in college… to overcompensate for that insecurity, I would read whatever I could get my hands on.”
