Celebrating resilience and diversity: SP Jain Singapore hosts the inaugural ‘Man of Substance 2018’

In celebration of International Men’s Day, SP Jain School of Global Management (SP Jain) welcomed 120 guests to its Singapore Campus on 24th November 2018 as the Knowledge and Venue Partner of the inaugural ‘Man of Substance 2018’ event.

In partnership with Style Etiquette and Shinz Productions, the ‘Man of Substance 2018’ aimed to recognise, appreciate and celebrate the inner strength of men from all walks of lives. Hailing from diverse backgrounds, each participant had his own story to share. Whether it was overcoming a struggle in life or contributing greatly to the community, all participants embodied true courage and resilience.

The afternoon saw nominees showcasing their talent and passion, a catwalk with participants dressed in formal wear, and the announcement of two important awards – the Exemplary Achiever Award 2018 was given to Mr Wesley Wee, who recently published a book by typing with his toes due to having cerebral palsy since the age of five, and Mr Vijay Singh Minocha was honoured with the Lifetime Achiever Award 2018 for his selfless contributions to the community.

As one of the judges at the event, Dr John Fong, CEO & Head of Campus (Singapore), said, “SP Jain is proud to be the knowledge and venue partner for the inaugural ‘Man of Substance 2018’ which recognises the achievements (of men) that are not defined by status, money, and career but in their inner selves. Similarly, SP Jain celebrates this diversity in strengths – which is why we find it essential to not only develop the IQ and EQ of our students but also nurture their CQ (cultural quotient).”
