It’s been over a year now since I had last stepped into the hallowed portal of Corporate. Leaving behind the legacy of NSN, JSPL was a different ball game altogether.

With barely a month away from Placement season, Vijay Ahir is exactly where he wants to be… top of his PGP class of 2015 at AIIM! A Civil Engineer by education, Vijay joined Adani Institute of Infrastructure Management after 7 years with Larsen and Toubro. Starting out as a Trainee Engineer in the Technology Services Division of L&T, Vijay ended up handling a number engineering services provided to ‘Fortune 500’ clients of L&T in the US; projects with a CAPEX of 45 million USD to 75 million USD. For 4 years he did this, and life would’ve been pretty much about shuttling between India and California – had it not been for L&T’s in-house training establishment. Vijay was detailed for a 1-year Executive education programme in Finance at IIM, Kozhikode. Their programme involved faculties teaching the participant over video conferencing and visit to IIM-Kozhikode campus for on campus study.. Here for the first time, Ahir was exposed to Finance.
