What Makes IIM Raipur Unique - Maurya Banda

One unique thing I can say about my campus is our badminton court, the liveliest of all the places is nestled in the heart of the building. It engages many students in some sort of indulgence all through the evening up until early mornings. It is where all the chit-chat happens, it is where all the brainstorming happens. It is privy to all the secrets of students who talk on phone strolling over it for the lack of signals in their rooms. It is integral to the IIM Raipur culture. It will be hard the part ways with it once our new campus is ready to welcome us.

Finally, my only wish now is to meet the auto-walla that I spoke about. I want to know the reason behind his smug. I want to help him understand why he was wrong, I know he wouldn’t understand but I really want to give it a try.

Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?

I have always been interested in numbers and the logic they convey. Perhaps, that is why I could crack and get into IIT Madras for my Bachelors and IIM Raipur for my Masters. Going forward with this yearning, I would like to take up my specialization in Finance. Hence, I would like to be part of Aditya Birla Capital Limited. ABCL is a company with wide-ranging service areas and one of those companies that have put India on the global level in the financial services sector. I am particularly interested in areas like asset management, private equity, corporate finance or financial advisory services.
