PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Members, My greetings to all of you! It has been my privilege to lead the Madras Management Association (MMA) as its 53rd President over the past year (2020-21). The year 2020 was a roller coaster ride for each one of us. Let me say that, personally, I had to unlearn planning ahead of time and to embrace the fact that certain aspects are out of control.
