As I got used to calling this place, this beautiful and cosy place, home, I slowly discovered something else. The sense of family and integrity at IIM Shillong is unparalleled. Our senior batch is an exemplary example of this and during the short time we have been here, they have already instilled this sense of pride and family in us. I, in fact we, already belong to this place. All the quirky traditions, the various rituals, pranks played on you will make you feel right at home. IIM Shillong deeply values ethics and closely follows Dr. Kalam’s vision of giving back to the society and I consider myself fortunate that I will be a part of this legacy and take it forward with my sundry batch.
Which ABG company would you want to work for?
I would like to work for Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited. I have always been inclined towards understanding fashion and why it influences people the way it does, since a young age. Due to my defence background, I have travelled across the country and seen retail stores all across. This always made me curious about the reach of such retail stores and how do they work. Also, having spent considerable time in Shillong, I have seen a different side of fashion, which has grown over the years with considerably less number of prominent retail stores in the past. This again made me curious about the procedure of determining and segmenting the market by retail brands. And there can be no better opportunity than working with ABFRL, which is the parent company of the Madura Fashion and Lifestyle, who were the first national player working on the core business of fashion retail.
