There are several instances where you feel excited and scared, joining IIFT was one of them. After two weeks at this premier institute I still have this feeling. This brief period in my life has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. So let’s delve in to my experiences & understanding of IIFT.
The first thing that struck me when I entered IIFT is the architecture. The architecture is the perfect blend of historical days along with the touch of modernity. So you will find this huge pillars and structures along with the best furnishing and paint job. Another thing which fascinated me were the classrooms. Most of the classroom have different architecture which makes each classroom have its own identity. IIFT also has solar panels at the top which help utilize renewable energy. The view of Qutub Minar and Sanjay Van also makes the location of IIFT special. So enough of architecture and let’s look at some of the interesting experiences I have had at IIFT.
It was my first day at college . There are people from all over the world with different backgrounds. So it is highly unlikely to find people who look the same. But that is what happened. I found two guys who had the same height, weight, complexion & face. Both of them are from different areas of India and are not related in any sort of way. This just proves that world indeed is a small place.
The work you have to do at IIFT is tough and rigorous. But you also have fun as we had during a sports event that was organized in our college. It was organized during my fifth day at IIFT. We could play several sports and I chose to play football. I was reluctantly made the goalkeeper of the team. The match we played with great energy and enthusiasm but lost due to my silly mistake. I just passed the ball to the player of the opposite team thinking he was in my team and he took advantage of it.
There are great faculties at IIFT with each having their own teaching methods. But there is this one faculty who teaches us Managerial Architecture in International Business, fascinated me with his unique teaching style and energy. He uses famous movie scenes and dialogues in order to make his points and he does this with such enthusiasm and efficiency that you will understand the concept immediately. He enjoys to interact with the class and make the students more involved in the learning process.

Which ABG company would I want to work for?
I associate myself with the brand of Aditya Birla Capital. It is one of the largest financial services players in India. It is in the top 5 private diversified NBFCs in India and the 3rd largest assets management company in India. I have always fascinated by the world of financing and capital management as my father was a businessmen and taught me about the importance of investment and financing. It will be a great opportunity for me to manage in a large financial service company like Aditya Birla Capital.
