IIM Shillong is one of the top B-schools in India. The proudest moment of my life is when I received the offer letter from IIM Shillong. Initially, I was worried about the location but then I decided to let go of my inhibitions, apprehensions and joined IIM Shillong to explore the place myself and found that its rightly named ‘Campus in Clouds’. The institute also completed 10 years in 2018. I come from Delhi and the air quality is deteriorating to lowest level there so the pleasant weather and pure air are added benefit for me.
Apart from this, institute’s premium flagship course, top ranking, placement records, makes it a perfect destination for MBA aspirants. I will be guided by renowned faculty members which would help me to achieve my career goals. The vast network of alumni will provide me unmatched access to information, mentors and careers. This institute would help me to explore new opportunities by encouraging intellectual curiosity and open my mind to the adventure of new ideas thereby allowing the multidimensional development of my personality.

Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
I would want to work for Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. It is India’s premier fashion house. It partnered with Forever 21, one of the best global fast fashion retail brand. Also women’s fast fashion is the fastest growing segment globally and in India. With rising disposable income & shift in consumer preference towards branded apparels, it is projected that the modern apparel retail is expected to reach USD 37 billion in the next five years from about USD 16 billion currently. So, this company will be a perfect launchpad for my career and will provide me with multiple opportunities and challenges along with immense learning that I have always strived for.
