Selected to the Best 50 of India's Most Promising Incoming MBA Students 2024, Kalpit Jain is a finance-first operator with a clear arc: IB or PE in the short term, senior leadership in the medium term, and ultimately CFO or financial advisory founder. He has done the reps with EY and Deloitte USI internships in Corporate Finance and PE across deals, valuations, and structuring, built a valuation model from scratch for IIMA's finance club application, and as General Secretary of Hindu College's Internship Cell, co-led 45 members and partnerships with 70+ companies. He held the line on ethics by rejecting a paid positive-reviews ask and securing an alumni-backed sponsor instead. At the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, he continues to invest in technical and leadership growth.
Why He's Most Promising
Promising is turning pressure into process and process into outcomes. Kalpit shows it by learning new technical terrain, steering teams at scale, and choosing integrity when it is costly. With analytical depth, composure, and people-first leadership, he has the potential to grow from a high-output finance contributor to a trusted, values-led leader in complex transactions.
Congratulations, Kalpit! Well deserved!
