Guest Lecture-Global Macros and how they impact us

On 9th November 2024, K.C. College of Engineering and Management Studies and Research had the privilege of hosting a highly engaging and intellectually stimulating Guest Lecture as part of its ongoing efforts to expose students to real-world economic perspectives and global business dynamics.

The lecture, titled “Global Macros and Their Impact on Us,” was delivered by Ms. Ushma Zunzavadiya, Senior Manager – Corporate Strategy at Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL). With her vast industry experience and strategic insight, Ms. Zunzavadiya provided a comprehensive overview of the major macroeconomic factors influencing today’s interconnected global economy.

During the session, she discussed critical topics such as political stability, geopolitical conflicts, interest rate trends, inflationary pressures, and the role of demographic dividends in shaping economic growth. Her ability to connect these abstract macro-level elements to their real-world implications helped students grasp the broader significance of these factors, not just globally but also in the context of emerging economies like India.

What truly elevated the session was its interactive nature. Ms. Zunzavadiya actively encouraged students to ask questions and engage in meaningful discussion, transforming the lecture into a dynamic exchange of ideas. She addressed queries with thoughtfulness and clarity, fostering a deeper understanding of complex economic concepts and encouraging students to think critically about the world around them.

The event not only broadened the participants’ academic horizons but also provided them with valuable exposure to how global events and economic indicators can influence national and corporate decision-making. It was a truly enriching experience that left the students inspired and better equipped to navigate the evolving global economic landscape.
