Hailing from the PGDM Batch of 2001-2003, he attributes TAPMI as the single biggest positive differentiator in his life, acting as a catalyst and making his journey filled with immense learning and true sense of achievement. He also thinks that the opportunities received after TAPMI helped him make positive difference in people’s lives and enabled him hitting milestones, which otherwise looked distant dreams at the beginning of his career.“TAPMI shattered my pre-set notion of how one goes about learning and up-skilling oneself. All through the PGP program on campus, we were subconsciously getting prepared for the real corporate world. In less than a month of joining, we realized that we were operating in a large university and were learning not only from the school but also from almost every other fellow batchmate. It is here I realized that managers are not entirely sculpted in the classroom, but a significant portion of it happens outside of it.
