The guests were from diverse sectors such as consulting, BFSI, electronics, oil and gas, and aviation. Participants of IIM Shillong's PGP and PGP-ex got a unique opportunity to tag along with the corporates and learn both business and golf.
‘My shoes and socks are completely drenched from the dew on the course this morning. But it's worth it,' said Abhishek Rana, PGP17 of IIM Shillong's Golf Club, who was managing the play from the 7th tee-box. IIM Shillong's Golf Club, the first club of its kind in an Indian Bschool was marshaling the Cup.

While the golfers and their families enjoyed the evening dinner with some live music, IIM Shillong's Golf Club got a chance to catch-up with Mrs. Jyoti Agarwal again. ‘It was great playing the Golf Cup. I am already looking forward to the next year,' she said, beaming and flashing the Winner's trophy in Women's category.
