Selected as one of the Best 50 of India's Most Promising Incoming MBA Students 2024, Abhishek Agrawal blends hands-on operating experience with a thoughtful leadership ethic. From coordinating high-stakes work at ExxonMobil to running complex student fests and mentoring peers, he shows a steady, systems-driven approach to getting important things done, without losing sight of people and context. At the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, he is compounding this foundation with structured learning and community contribution.
Why He's Most Promising
Promising is consistency under load. Abhishek shows it across ExxonMobil projects, IIM Calcutta fest operations, and peer mentoring with the same playbook: understand the system, visualise the work, communicate crisply, and deliver. Add his long-term ambition in strategic management, plus the IIM Calcutta platform, and you get a leader in the making who is measured, humane, and reliable when it counts.
Congratulations, Abhishek! Well deserved!
