Vimal Kakwani: Best 50 | India's Most Promising Incoming MBA Students 2024 | Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow
Selected to the Best 50 of India's Most Promising Incoming MBA Students 2024, Vimal Kakwani pairs procurement discipline with a values-first stance. In purchasing roles, he refused kickbacks and blacklisted vendors—protecting process integrity—while still delivering savings and faster turnarounds (Fluxteel Insulations). As T&P Coordinator, he spotted an aptitude gap and built training so more classmates cleared placements. At Heliflex, he led a 10–12 member team and tightened supplier performance. At IIM Lucknow, he’ll deepen sustainable supply-chain strategy to scale ethical, efficient procurement.
