Alumni Speak

VGSOM not only provided me with a great academic foundation but introduced me to a world of fun,
camaraderie, and group dynamics. The unique curriculum design coupled with world class faculty,
infrastructure, and access to the resources of the oldest and one of the largest IITs, allows for unparalleled
academic rigor, an opportunity to explore new areas and skill development. Add to this a laid back yet
competitive environment, opportunities to lead multiple initiatives and focused development of soft skills,
you have the perfect ingredients for a successful future. For me, it was not only the two years I spent there,
but a lifetime of memories and shared experiences that has helped me navigate difficult situations in my
career.
A student who joins VGSOM is signing up for one of the best academic institutions and can look forward to
a strong all-round experience that continues to shape industry leaders and next-generation innovators. Get

My journey with VGSOM
When I entered VGSOM, I was an Electronics Engineer with an aspiration to pursue a career in the Marketing
function. I left VGSOM with so much more! A foundation and stepping stone for a banking career (15+ years
in Retail Banking across 4 leading banks and going strong), unforgettable memories and most importantly,
friends for life!

VGSOM has given me the playground with all the amenities, all I needed to do was optimise the resources to
maximise my potential as per my aspirations. I am grateful to my alma mater and will always remain a proud
VGSOMite!

Vice President at HDFC Bank, Batch 2004-2006

VGSoM accelerated my growth, both professionally and intellectually. I realised that I could expand my span
of knowledge and expertise. I studied Supply Chain, which I really felt was my calling. That was very liberating
as now I did not feel constrained to IT, owing to my software background. The case studies & discussions with
brilliant professors as well as multi-disciplinary classmates and the dissertation program opened my mind
to how things could be done and not be limited by textbooks or set procedures. I learnt how to initiate and
manage change. This has helped me tremendously in my consulting days and in my current role.

Cycling through the lush green campus helped me connect with myself and explore various facets of my
personality. So many times, mind boggling problems got solved walking or cycling with friends and classmates
under the tree canopy. Case study assignments in Teams helped develop Leadership qualities critical to
navigate the business world successfully. Passionate discussions with people from diverse backgrounds
during class and group activities made learning interesting, intensive, and well rounded.
