I am so proud to be a part of the first ever batch of Exec PHD at Indian Institute of Management at Visakhapatnam. The idea was to have a greater exposure apart from the run of the mill work experience of close to 2 decades I have. The most fun part was complex econometrics that always used to be fascinating for me. Also the institution made a flurry of valuable resources available to us which we can dream of even in our corporate like like Prowess, Capitaline etc. to just name a few.”
