Selected to the Best 50 of India's Most Promising Incoming MBA Students 2024, Pavani Saxena blends front-line People Advisory consulting with values-led execution. From leading assessment and development centre operations at EY to building firm-wide SOPs and driving 300+ paid registrations for her college fest, she shows the same rhythm of clarify, codify, align, and deliver. Choosing Gurugram over Mumbai to care for her father underlines a core ethic of care. At IIM Kashipur, she plans to sharpen analytics and organisation design to scale impact.
Why She's Most Promising
Promising is repeatable excellence under pressure. Pavani demonstrates it across EY deliveries, campus leadership, and civic work (UN Millennium Fellow; rural-education content reaching 20,000+ learners): systems thinking, process discipline, precise communication, and resilient follow-through—even while navigating personal health headwinds. With a long-term arc toward Partner/CXO roles to build humane, high-performance workplaces—and the platform of IIM Kashipur—expect a measured, empathetic operator who raises the bar where it matters.
Congratulations, Pavani! Well deserved!
