Indian industry was present in full force with Mahindra & Mahindra, Godrej, Essar, RPG, Bharti Group among others making their presence felt on campus. This reinforces the transition of home grown Indian firms into dynamic and challenging workplaces to intern in.

XLRI saw its PMIR batch strength double this year to 120 given the need felt by the administration to fill the void in the industry for quality HR professionals. Their decision was more than vindicated with the Indian diaspora lapping up the 120 students in under 5 days of the start of the process. This goes to show the superiority that XLRI dictates in the area and the faith instilled by the recruiting partners in the talent pool at XLRI. Novartis again offered its prestigious leadership role to two interns at XLRI. They would be interning at their global headquarters in Basel, Switzerland. Internships were also offered for position in Novartis USA. Procter & Gamble and Hindustan Unilever also offered roles in their Singapore and other international locations.

Banks and FMCGs offered challenging roles in their HR divisions. TAS and Aditya Birla Group offered roles to PMIR students in large numbers. This only goes to show the immense quality of talent at XLRI.

"The increase in the batch size this year has proved to be a good decision for XLRI as an institute imparting quality education as we always felt that there was a need for XLRI to take up a strong leadership space in business today. The fact that we have achieved 100 % placements only reposes the faith our recruiting partners have had in the quality of management graduates that are a hallmark of XLRI's quality standards."
