All India Podio begins with a super interesting (and glamorous) interview with Manishi Sanwal, MD of DFS India (LinkedIn Profile) and one of the most important men in the Indian luxury industry. He has previously been the head of Tag Heuer for China, India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan and is an alumnus of IIM-Ahmedabad. Amazingly, Manishi is the son of a teacher in the small town of Kotdwar in Uttaranchal (then Uttar Pradesh) for whom sneakers were a luxury in his school days. To go from there to being one of India’s leading luxury marketeers is a story we could all learn something from. Here it is in his own words.

The monthly takeaway at the end of the month for a MBA graduate is an important factor to be considered before making the MBA decision or while applying to companies during placements. No wonder that companies that pay more generally attract more applications and a lot of theory around work-life balance and job satisfaction goes for a toss in the heat of final placements. In this part, we look at the minimum salary expectations of the graduating batch and the cities all our 3 sets of respondents want to work in.
