Kapil is one of the gem who has been carved out to dazzle through the IPM program. He is currently in the 4th year of IPM course at IIM Indore. During his stay at IIM Indore, he started to traverse the journey of being a CA as well as CS Finalist, winner of some of the awards like Amul Vidya Bhushan, National Moot Court and Elocution Competitions, TATA Crucible (Finalist). He also enjoyed the stint of being a freelance writer with the Times of India, a Cub Reporter with Dainik Bhaskar and a Radio Jockey with MY FM and Akashvani. He also presented a project on malnutrition to a jury consisting of PM Modi (then CM of Gujarat) and FM Jaitely (then Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha) during the Manthan event. Here is an interesting chat that we had with him.
