Dear Mr. Sangeet Paul Choudhary,
I am writing to sincerely thank you for selecting me as a recipient of the Sangeet Paul Choudhary Award. My time at IIM Bangalore has been a period of profound growth, allowing me to build on my background in economics and consulting to truly master the mechanics of strategic leadership. This recognition is incredibly meaningful to me and serves as a tremendous source of encouragement as I step into the next phase of my career in management consulting. Your generosity and commitment to the student community at IIMB are deeply inspiring. It reinforces my own belief that professional success is most impactful when it is used to foster growth and support the communities around us. Thank you once again for this immense honour and for your investment in our futures.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for awarding me the G.H. Raisoni Merit Award. Your generous support is truly meaningful to me. This recognition is both an honor and a strong source of motivation as I continue to pursue excellence in my academic and professional endeavors. I aspire to build a career that combines strategic thinking with meaningful impact, and your support has brought me one step closer to that goal. Thank you for your encouragement and belief in students like me. I will strive to make the most of this opportunity and hope to support future students in the same spirit.
I am deeply grateful to receive the prestigious Mangipudi award from a distinguished alumnus in recognition of the All-rounder Gold Medal.
This gesture holds a special place for me, not just for the honour, but for what it represents. I come from a family where every paisa matters; I still remember my pocket money in high school being 50 paise a day and my entire tuition fee during BTech days being less than 50K rupees. Those early experiences shaped my values around effort, resilience, and making the most of every opportunity.
In that context, this award feels profoundly meaningful. More than the monetary value, it is the thought, encouragement, and sense of continuity it carries, from one generation to another, that truly inspires me.
It is a reminder that success is not an individual journey, but one that is enabled and uplifted by others who choose to support and believe in you.
Inspired by this, I would like to pay it forward in a small way by contributing a part of this award towards instituting a similar scholarship program in my primary and high school so that it can encourage and support many more journeys like mine.
Heartfelt thanks to Prof Haragopal Mangipudi for this generous and thoughtful gesture, it will stay with me for a long time.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for being selected as a recipient of the Mangipudi Award.
It is a privilege to receive recognition so deeply connected to IIMB's legacy. I must also share that it holds a special personal significance for me: Prof. Haragopal Mangipudi has been my professor at IIMB, and to now receive an award instituted in his honour is truly a full-circle moment that I will always cherish.
The award reflects the wonderful spirit of giving back, and it serves as a powerful motivation to uphold the values of excellence and continuous learning that define IIMB. Thank you for your kindness and for inspiring the next generation of leaders.
There is something deeply moving about seeing accomplished individuals choose to give back to the very institution that shaped them. It is a reminder that success is not just measured by how far we go, but by how many we bring along with us. Your gesture inspires me to carry that same spirit forward, to one day contribute to the community that has given me so much, just as you have done.
This recognition also comes at a meaningful point in my career. The PGPEM program has already broadened my perspective and strengthened my ability to lead with purpose. An award of this nature adds to that confidence and encourages me to pursue my professional journey with even greater commitment and clarity.
Once again, thank you for this honour, it means more than words can fully convey.
I am deeply grateful to receive the P. G. Apte Research Award for 2026. This recognition is truly motivating.
I sincerely thank the donor for supporting and encouraging meaningful academic research. Rigorous scholarly work demands sustained effort and resources, making contributions like these crucial to its advancement. This award not only acknowledges my work but also inspires me to continue pursuing impactful research with diligence and commitment.
I am also grateful to the doctoral program committee for recognizing my research efforts and for believing in me. I feel privileged to be part of such an accomplished and inspiring academic community.
Thank you once again for this honour.
I’m extremely grateful to have received the Siddharth Padam scholarship. Like many others, I’m funding my education through a loan, so this support really helps ease that burden. But beyond the financial relief, it’s the recognition that means the most- knowing that someone believes in my effort and potential is incredibly motivating. Thank you for your generosity and for making a difference in our journeys.
Thank you so much for this generous scholarship — it truly means a lot to me. For students like me in the differently abled community, navigating spaces like business school can sometimes feel like we’re constantly having to prove we belong. Support like this doesn’t just help with the practical stuff — it sends a powerful message that we do belong, and that there are people rooting for us to thrive. This scholarship feels like a step forward — a sign that inclusion isn’t just talked about, but actively enabled. I’m incredibly grateful, and I hope to pay it forward in whatever way I can.
I am deeply honored and grateful to have been selected as a recipient of the Runwal Education Trust Scholarship. Thank you for your generosity. This award not only eases my financial burden but also inspires me to continue striving for excellence in my academic and professional journey. This will also serve as reminder for me to give back to the community in future.
I would like to sincerely thank the donor for their generous support through the Runwal Educational Trust Scholarship. Coming from a small village in Kerala and being the first in my family to pursue an MBA, this scholarship has been a huge relief financially and emotionally. It has allowed me to focus more on academics and make the most of my time at IIM Bangalore. After graduating, I aspire to work in strategy consulting and eventually contribute towards building scalable solutions for underserved communities. Your support has made a real difference — thank you once again for believing in me.
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Govind Pandey, and I am a second-year PGP student at IIM Bangalore. I am profoundly grateful and truly humbled to be chosen as the recipient of the Nitin Agarwal Scholarship. Your kindness and generosity have eased a significant financial concern for me and have touched my heart deeply. Before coming to IIM Bangalore, I had the privilege of managing an educational initiative for 6 years that reached over 1,500 children from underprivileged backgrounds—offering them high-quality learning at heavily subsidized rates, with many attending for a nominal fee. It was a rewarding experience, and your support now inspires me to continue extending such opportunities to others, paying forward the gift of education in any way I can. Thank you, Mr. Agarwal, for believing in students like me and for making our dreams more attainable. Your thoughtful gesture reinforces my belief in the power of generosity, and I will carry this gift forward throughout my journey.
I’m truly honoured to be awarded the PGP Class of 1989 Scholarship. Your generous support has made a meaningful difference in my journey at IIM Bangalore, and I feel fortunate to receive it. Beyond easing the financial load, this scholarship has given me the confidence to pursue every opportunity here with focus and enthusiasm. It serves as a reminder that there are people who believe in my potential, and that encouragement keeps me grounded and motivated. At IIMB, I’m deepening my interest in retail, consumer brands, and analytics. After graduation, I aspire to work in the intersection of marketing and analytics, ideally in retail and luxury space. In the long term, I hope to contribute towards creating sustainable business models that uplift small business owners. Thank you once again for your kindness and belief in students like me. Your support has inspired me to work harder and someday pay it forward in my own way.
I am truly honored to receive the Florintree Scholarship Award 2025. Your generous support is a meaningful encouragement in my academic and professional journey, allowing me to focus more deeply on areas I’m passionate about and the impact I hope to create. This scholarship reinforces my belief that hard work and dedication are valued. It motivates me to pursue my goals with renewed purpose and reminds me of the importance of giving back. I aspire to support others in the same way you have supported me. Thank you for believing in my potential. I am committed to upholding the values this award represents and carrying forward the spirit of generosity it embodies.
Hi, I am Mridul Sureka, a 2nd year PGP Student at IIM Bangalore. I am an Economics Graduate from Shri Ram College of Commerce, University of Delhi. I feel honored to have been awarded the Mold-Tek Scholarship Award, and I am highly grateful to the donors for recognizing and rewarding the hard work that students like me put into their academics.

I would like to thank the organizers of Deepankar Khiwani scholarship which was awarded to me in the month of June during AY 2022. Receiving the Deepankar Khiwani scholarship from the IIM Bangalore has been the one of the most prestigious moments I have experienced on campus so far. While the award was extremely motivating, the prize money went into funding my expenses for my semester exchange program for ESCP Paris. This award money has truly empowered me to make a bolder choice in my life to explore an opportunity of studying abroad for a brief time. I would like to thank the scholarship trust/person/organization behind the award and prize money, the PGPO for their coordination and Director of IIM Bangalore Prof Rishikesha Krishnan for this prestigious opportunity.
Both my family and I are grateful for the scholarship. I used to always hear that the world is becoming more inclusive towards disabled students. However, this scholarship gives me a sense of comfort that the world is becoming more disabled-friendly. Since childhood it has always been my dream to pursue a degree in management. It has been a difficult journey for me to reach here and getting a job has been the biggest stress I've faced since I've entered campus. This stress has brought a toll on both me and my academics. The financial aid puts a lot of stress off my shoulders. Thank you so much for this scholarship. I have no words to explain how much it means to me.
My family and I extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Mirae Asset Foundation for endowing me with the scholarship to aid my education at IIM Bangalore. As a first-generation college graduate, I faced several obstacles where financial constraints played an extensive part. I thank you for recognizing me and lending your helping hand to empower me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Mirae Asset Foundation for stepping forward to help and accompany needy students in their academic journey, thus driving a positive change in society. Your generosity truly inspires me, and I wish to follow in your footsteps in giving back to the community.
I want to express my deep gratitude to Wipro Limited for supporting my research at IIM Bangalore with the award of the Wipro Sustainability Fellowship 2021-22. Much like Wipro's core values, my research is driven by concerns of diversity and fairness towards people and paradigms, and ideas of deep connectedness and holism. In line with this, under a larger personal research agenda of diversity, pluralism and inclusion, I am trying to understand the nature of medical pluralism in India, towards a larger goal of providing sustainable holistic healthcare that banks on the best of the many medical traditions available to us. I am fortunate to have the support and inspiration of a company with a deep sense of community and responsibility in this endeavour.
