Believe in your dreams and HAL will back it for you,” Mr Sahi said.

     Emphasizing that HAL stood for the development of its workforce, Mr Sahi wanted the fresh recruits to feel at home. “Once everybody starts treating their workplace as their own, focus and oneness will follow suit. There could be areas of concern, but together we shall take this Company forward,” he said.

    Asking the youngsters to keep their minds alive, Mr Sahi reminded the greatness of HAL, which stood the test of times and marched ahead conquering new milestones. ”This is a value-driven Company and hence everyone would be under watchful eyes. The success will depend upon the hard work each one of you will put in. You are about to begin an exciting journey and my best wishes to you all,” Mr Sahi concluded.
