The ceremony comprised a significant interfaith prayer service officiated by the Dean of Finance and Administartion Fr. Donald D'Silva, S.J. and Dr. Sanjay Patro who is the Dean of Academics. The service had readings from the Bhagavad Gita, Bible, Guru Granth Sahib and Quran as XLRI stands for inclusivity, ethical roots and spiritual wisdom.

To help students feel connected to the institution's values the ceremony also included a heritage video presentation outlining XLRI’s legacy and vision for the future. New students engaged in mentor-led interaction sessions to build early relationships reflect on shared goals and start their journey with a strong sense of belonging something XLRI prides itself on.
