One of the most valuable lessons I gained from Profsummits I took part during the years of 2013-2018 is 'Suhbath', the value of good companionship. Many of the acquaintances I made through Profsummit are now working across different countries, giving me opportunities to gain global exposure and perspectives through them. With this strong network, I’ve also been able to guide and connect many junior aspirant to build on their careers. Profsummit has been a foundation of growth, values, and lifelong friendships that continue to enrich both my personal and professional journey.
The first thing that comes to my mind is the positive and spiritual vibe I felt at every Profsummit I attended between 2013 and 2017. Meeting students from different colleges/courses and having the chance to connect with them was really inspiring. One of the biggest takeaways for me was being reminded of our ethical responsibilities as professionals. I still remember a session that strongly emphasised the scope of our profession and how, as Muslims, it's our duty to carry out this work with integrity. As a Fire Safety Engineer, Profsummit honestly changed the way I look at my profession. It gave me a new sense of purpose. And beyond all that, one of the best things I gained was real friendships. I'm so grateful for the people I met, and I still value those connections today. I'd highly recommend attending Profsummit. It's much more than just a professional event, it's an experience that can shape both your career and your character.
I had the privilege of attending Profsummit editions in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2024. Each year, the program has been a unique and enriching experience that helped me grow both academically and spiritually. What makes Profsummit special is the opportunity to learn directly from eminent achievers and inspiring faculties, whose sessions leave a lasting impact. Another strength of the program is that it evolves every year, with updates and modifications tailored to meet the changing needs of students. I would strongly recommend my juniors to be part of this wonderful journey - it’s an experience that goes far beyond academics.
I had the privilege of attending several Profsummits during my B.Tech years at GEC Thrissur (2012–2016), held in Malappuram, Kozhikode, and Thrissur. The spiritually uplifting talks by Sheikh Shiria Usthad, insightful Fiqh sessions by Cherusshola Usthad, and interactive Q&A discussions remain some of my most cherished memories. These events also helped me build lasting friendships that continue to this day. Since graduation, I’ve been actively involved with the alumni committee. It’s heartening to see this event continue each year, offering new set of students a chance to grow spiritually and personally.
Profsummit gave me a lot of moral and ethical values in my college life as well as my professional life, and this event has been the driving motive for me to serve in a field that I have mastered. I have participated in Profsummits such as Madar Campus Vadanappilly, Madin Academy Malappuram, and Mansha'u Campus Kannur in 2016, 2017, and 2018 respectively. Not only the spiritual values, but I also gained a lot of career guidance through these events. For example, a career session for engineering professionals was arranged at Mansha'u Campus Mattool, where opportunities to serve in public sector utilities were introduced. This played a vital role in placing me in my current position, and my journey will continue toward achieving my professional goals. Everyone should experience Profsummit at least once in their college life as a professional student, it will truly be worthwhile.
I've been a part of this flagship event well before its official inception as 'Profsummit'. I fondly recollect attending the 2005 version of profsummit, then conducted under a different title. Since then, I have taken effort to take part in every profsummits around Kerala, which made me attend almost all Profsummits as an MBBS student, as a PG student and DM neonatology resident. I remember being in a team with more than 20 professional students that boarded train all the way from Government TD Medical College, Alappuzha to the Profsummit at Kannur back in 2008. I can proudly proclaim, that more than these dozen profsummits which I attended have shaped in me an ethical professional, caring clinician, and more over a better human being. I hope Profsummit will resume its legacy in moulding more responsible, virtuos & vibrant professionals.
I had been a part of three Profsummit editions, as a delegate from NIT Calicut through the years of 2013-2016. I also attended the 2017 and 2023 profsummit as an alumnus. Profsummit has cultured in me a balanced life with values and a sense of living a selflessly selfish life. It gave me spiritual and career motivation, guidelines, interaction with experts, skill setting and leadership trainings, network of like minds and a vast canvas for actions and executions. The richest Profsummit memory was being in a team named 'SHELTER' created after the Profsummit at Kozhikode for societal action and rural service done following it at Beypore and Pathanamthitta. I am really proud of my past at Profsummit to deliver the fullest for me and society. I hope more young brains become a part of this flagship event.
I was part of Profsummit 2008, held in Kollam during my engineering years at CUSAT from 2005 to 2009, and it remains one of the most impactful events of my student life. Profsummit helped shape my thinking, core values, and sense of professionalism at an early stage. It provided a platform to connect with like-minded peers, explore meaningful ideas, and grow into a more responsible individual. It’s heartening to see Profsummit 2025 carrying forward that same vision, empowering the next generation of professionals. I wish the organizers and participants every success in continuing this inspiring legacy.
I felt truly fortunate to have been a part of 2023 edition of Profsummit at Kasargod. As a budding professional being in the early stages of my career, the thoughtful sessions on critical thinking, discipline, spirituality, and professional development left a lasting impact on me. The talk on Tasawwuf by Ustad Basheer Faizy, in particular, still continues to shape my daily routine and helps me remain grounded while navigating the demands of a fast-paced corporate world. Equally memorable was Ram Puniani’s insightful session on Indian history, which broadened my perspective. Looking back, attending Profsummit’23 was an invaluable experience I would not have wished to miss.
I remember Profsummit as one the most colorful days in my academic career. Here I got a golden chance to talk with beloved Shaikh Aboobacker Ahmed during the discussion about engineers in the Profsummit held at Hidaya, Palazhi. I was so excited as to answer his question and elated by his words of wisdom. Also, Profsummit is one of the game changers in my career as it taught me a lot about professional besides real-life and how to balance the two. Profsummit has also helped me build a strong friend circle with professionals across whole of Kerala.
