Niche Profiles

Infrastructure, being one sector which is expected to boom in the near future, resulted in companies such as IDFC and Feedback Ventures offering niche profiles like Project Finance and Infrastructure Consulting. Profiles in Private Equity were offered by IDFC
and HDFC Property Ventures.

Telecom too, was a buzzword with 4 major telecom players including Bharti Group (Telecom & Retail) Vodafone, Virgin Mobile and Idea Cellular recruiting heavily this year. "Getting to work with an established global player still in its inception stage in India, gives me the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds. It will be a great prospect to be part of a group which has the flamboyance of Mr. Branson and legacy of the Tatas," says Pravin Chordia who accepted an offer by Virgin Mobile.

Leading real estate companies like Lodha Group, Keppel Land (Singapore), DLF and Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj represented the Real Estate sector on campus.

"The outsourcing story has changed the real estate equation in the last few years. With a backlog of at least 20 million housing units, this is one of the most exciting and challenging sectors to be in. Being associated with a conglomerate that knows the local markets inside out will be a great learning experience for me," says Jigar Shah who secured a lateral position as a Strategy Consultant with the Lodha Group.

Major organizations from other domains included Pfizer, Bennett Coleman and Co. Ltd., Essar Group, JSW Steel and HT Media.

International Offers

An emerging trend in the institute that grew stronger this year was the increased number of students preferring to be a part of the Indian growth story instead of taking up profiles abroad. International organisations such as AES Corporation, Bloomberg Singapore, First Gulf Bank, Sharaf Group and Keppel Land participated in the process.

Lateral Offers

Giving due respect to the prior work experience of a majority of the students, the institute had a separate laterals process. Companies such as Barclays Bank, Ocwen Financial and Sun Microsystems participated for the first time. IT majors including Capgemini, Cognizant Technology Services, Genpact, IBM Consulting, Infosys Technologies, TCS, and Wipro were amongst the few who recruited in the Lateral Process.
