Testimonials

Ashish

Earning a PhD from IIM Bangalore has been one of the most defining and rewarding experiences of my academic and professional life. The programme provided a rigorous foundation in research, while nurturing a culture of intellectual independence and critical inquiry. While pursuing the programme, I had the opportunity to delve into advanced topics taught by world-class faculty. The mentorship I received played a crucial role in shaping my research and helping me navigate the challenges of doctoral work. Completing my PhD opened doors to exciting research and career opportunities. Most importantly, IIMB has given me a network of lifelong collaborators, colleagues and friends.
