Over the years, XLRI has developed a distinct identity. The hallmark of this identity is not to walk on the beatenpath,but to strike new routes; not to benchmark, but to be benchmarked; to be second tonone,but to be the first to respond to the needs of the people and the nation; taking up bold tasks, but necessary, that which nobody has hitherto taken up.This enterprising and pioneering spirit can be witnessedthroughout the history of XLRI.
