On July 10, 2025, Object Automation had the privilege of contributing to the First-Year Orientation Programme organized by the Department of Computer Science and Applications (MCA) at SRM Ramapuram Campus, Chennai. Our Technical Leader, Madan Kartheessan, addressed a vibrant audience of around 240 first-year MCA (General) and MCA (GenAI) students with a powerful session titled “MCA Launchpad: Ignite Your TechFuture.” During his talk, he introduced students to the potential of Microsoft certifications such as AZ-104 (Azure Administrator Associate) and PL-300 (Power BI – Data Analyst Associate), encouraging them to dedicate just one hour a day for six months to gain industry-relevant expertise. Madan also stressed the growing importance of SQL, specifically PostgreSQL, for those aspiring to enter the data engineering field in today’s Big Data-driven world. Beyond technical skills, he inspired students to adopt a growth mindset, pursue continuous learning, and step out of their comfort zones—reminding them that every great journey begins with a single step. Object Automation is proud to support and empower the next generation of tech leaders.
