As an alumni I just wanted to share a quick note and let you all know that IIPM is really doing a good job. It is the institute which gives you keen insights about the agribusiness sector. It also identifies and provides its skills required to become the best manager or entrepreneur. It has been a tremendous journey till date and I feel obliged to have my name and my personality connected to IIPM. IIPM gave me the opportunity to groom myself and to understand the details of F & V industry. I would like to share that if someone is really passionate to work towards building our nation and our farmers, IIPM is the right place

Mr. Rahul Nath,Business Head (Fruits & Vegetables) Country DelightPGDM-ABPM 2006-07

I can certainly say that joining IIPMB was the most important milestone in shaping my career. IIPMB provided me hands on experience through CTS (corporate training segment) and helped me to discover capabilities that I never knew I had. The best take away was the friendship I made on the IIPMB campus and the mentoring I received from the faculty.

Hemanth NagarajState Head (Category F&V), Reliance Industries Limited, Bengaluru, PGD-ABPM 2005-06

My enrolling for the PGDM-ABPM program at IIPMB was one of the most important decisions of life. It’s truly a national institute with amazing campus, renowned faculties & bright students from all across India. The design of courses & activities encourages an individual to think out of the box which enhances ability to manage various situations. Apart from academics there are other opportunities inside & outside the campus to exhibit your skills in terms of sports & other competitions. The institute surely broadened my horizon & it put me in right direction in terms of my career road map.

Patil Vikas AjitNational Product Manager- Rural Banking, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank Ltd, PGDM-ABPM 2010-12

IIPM has given me a beautiful, challenging and refreshing experience and propelled me to a successful start in the agribusiness world! The classroom atmosphere was one which aided healthy discussions & sessions which were not totally bookish but also spoke about real time industry experience. During our internship interviews & the final placements also, our entire faculty & staff were equally concerned about our success. I always carry very fond memories in my heart & still find it difficult to believe that I jo ined 12 years ago & passed out 10 years back. It all seems like yesterday.... Thank you is a very small word to say to our institute & our gurus Smruthi Shrinivasan Assistant Manager – Coffee Procurement, Hindustan Unilever LimitedPGDM-ABPM 2009-11
