What makes IIM Trichy unique?
Among the complete gamut of new IIMs, baby IIMs and close-to-home older IIMs, I would like to share my opinion as to why IIM Trichy is unique. Situated in the fourth largest city of the formidable South Indian state of Tamil Nadu,
Indian Institute of Management, Tiruchirappalli is creating waves in the business world and re-defining the way knowledge is imparted and shared. Let me take you through some of the palpable aspects of what gives IIM Trichy the stature of uniqueness.
Firstly, this abode of learning that found its roots in 2011 is now touted to be the home of around 400 students who are reaping the benefits of the
State-of-the-Art campus. It is a manifestation of the institute’s belief in providing the best in-house facilities to the aspiring managers – both infrastructural as well as academic. To enhance overall development, students have access to the central repository of knowledge, the Learning Resource Centre, well-equipped, comfortable and fully air-conditioned single occupancy rooms and the Sports Complex – where all the calories are burnt and where the spirit of sportsmanship thrives. To top it all, apart from the excellent faculty who are more than supportive at all times, IIM Trichy has partnered with
Your Dost, an organization dedicated to help students deal with their stress and anxiety problems, thus endeavouring to ensure that the students here are in good mental health and high spirits.

IIM Trichy firmly believes in harnessing the immense potential of the ideas and solutions that the Genext hold. Adequate support and guidance in matters of academics is delivered by the well qualified 35 full-time faculties, who are rich with knowledge from extensive research and hold a minimum of PhD/Fellow qualification from either an IIM or IIT. To keep these young minds invested and engaged in the latest happenings, IIM Trichy conducts
Guest Lecture series regularly as part of its academic curriculum. Industry experts with in-depth domain knowledge and diverse experience deliver these insightful lectures. Some of the big names that feature here are Shri. Shailesh Pathak – CEO, L&T Infrastructure Development Projects Limited; Mr Ramesh Mangaleswaran, Director, McKinsey & Company and Mr Milan Kumar, Founder Director, Volkswagen ITS.
Another significant initiative that sets apart this institute from the rest of its peers is the
Distinguished Speaker Series. This magnificent undertaking has exposed the students of IIM Trichy to the innumerable experiences and the epoch-making strategies and decisions that led our country to stride down the path of development. Eminent personalities who graced this discussion series are Lieutenant General PR Kumar, PVSM, AVSM, VSM; Padma Bhushan Dr A. Sivathanu Pillai, Founder CEO & MD, BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited and Mr R.S. Sharma, Chairman, TRAI.

We walk the talk and rightly so. IIM Trichy is committed to fulfilling its objective of giving back to the society. Hence, the
Make A Difference projects feature in the core curriculum of IIM Trichy’s Post Graduate Programme offerings. Students work in groups to identify crises and formulate solutions that will alleviate the problems faced by various segments of the community. To reinforce the value of social responsibility, IIM Trichy is also all set to transform the Tiruchi hub into a hub of innovation and medical tourism by drafting the Tiruchi District Development Plan.
Proud winner of the CFA research Challenge at National level for multiple times, IIM Trichy has many more accolades to its name to boast of its mettle.
Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
I would want to work for the Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd. Fashion is something which is always on the path of re-invention, and that particularly excites me. I have been a marketing enthusiast for a long time now and aspire to be a brand manager in the near future. ABFRL will provide me with the avenues where I can explore and assess the challenges and understand the scope of implementation of the strategies that I have been learning through the postgraduate program. The positive employee satisfaction it is garnering is a boost to my willingness to associate with the organization.
