I had often heard big quotes on diversity and how it is the spices of life. But I got the taste of it at IIM Indore. Often known as Planet-I, the campus is a habitat, an ecosystem, a planet, and a home in its own right! IIM Indore campus is home to over 1500 program participants and over 150 families of teaching, nonteaching staff. But this 200-acre campus is home to many more also – 50+ bird species, 7 snake-species, 100+ plants (ranging to medicinal, decorative, flowering, vegetables, fruits, wild, alien, and invasive), a family of foxes, hares, rabbits, mongoose, cats, bats, and many – many – many species of lizards, chameleons, crabs, butterflies, spiders, flies, moths, and other insects.
Apart from different species of flora and fauna, situated in central part of the country, the campus has participants from all over India. It’s the place where north meets south and east meets west. All the cultures and festivals of India are widely celebrated at IIM Indore. The students and families feel at home during any major festival of their community because of extravagant celebrations. The students from different states form groups and organize feasts for the rest of community during their festivals, for example, Bengali feast at Durga Puja and Tamil feast at Pongal. The interaction of different cultures in this mini India is what makes my campus unique.
ABG Company:
The ABG Company where I would want to work for is Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail Limited. I love the brands that come under this company and how each brand is uniquely positioned to serve different target groups. The company has also achieved huge international presence with its high quality and efforts.
Whenever I would go to a mall to shop for clothes, all I can see is different ABFRL brands offering all kinds of clothes suitable for different occasions.
