Selected to the Best 50 of India's Most Promising Incoming MBA Students 2024, Gunai Tarde says yes to stretch assignments and new arenas, then delivers. She served as General Secretary for 3,000+ students at VJTI, steered 10 committees and a sizable events budget, and earned a PPO at a Google-backed ed-tech. A creator at heart, she launched a YouTube channel on careers and MBA life, monetised in 6 months, crossing 2.3K+ subscribers and 9K+ watch hours. She was National Winner (Insane Pitchers) for a creative pitch to PharmEasy’s Dharmil Sheth, and balances intensity with adventure—marathons, treks, scuba, surf lessons. Grounded and people-first, she volunteers with Robin Hood Army, tailoring classroom formats so shy learners (and their siblings) feel safe to participate. At the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, she is extending this communication clarity and operator's discipline.
Why She's Most Promising
Promising is converting discomfort into velocity, from startup to enterprise, stage to C-suite, and creator to community mentor, while keeping a bias to execute and a bias for people. That blend is what modern brands and teams scale on.
Congratulations, Gunai! Well deserved!
