He noted that India's electronics exports have grown from $12 billion to $48 billion over five years, and emphasized the need for global technology partnerships while maintaining financial discipline. Chandrasekaran also delivered remarks at the Sri Mahaganapati Vakyartha Vidwat Sabha at Sringeri Sharada Peetham on September 28, expressing respect for India's ancient knowledge systems and shastras.

He quoted marathon runner Juma Ikangaa, saying "the will to win means nothing without the will to prepare," and advised graduates to aim high and build resilience through both successes and setbacks.
