Reflection

‘Reflection’ – a panel discussion with USA based Alumni of IBA Bangalore

Date: 24 July 2021

Reflection by name signifies the change in direction and hence this alumni connect series explores the journey of our alumnus. This version covers alumnus currently based out of India. They are the best examples we believe for the fresh batch to explore and exploit the resources available to them. Pandemic has paved new paths and we must look at the positives amidst all the negatives that happen in life and one such positive during this time is the use of technology to the extent that we have been thinking of but never experimented.

This is the 1^st one of this year that happened on 24^th July, 2021 at 7:30 PM IST which will be 7:00 AM Pacific time and 10:00 AM Eastern time for the 5 of the senior alumnus based in USA.

The discussion hinged upon the experiences of alumnus at IBA, how these shaped them for professional life, the ups & downs of their careers, the future of their respective industries, and what advice do they have for students of the 21st batch of IBA Bangalore.

Along with Prof Chandra Kant and Ms Richa Sarna as moderators, the panel included:

1. Vinay Bhave (5^th Batch) – Transfer Pricing, BDO USA
2. Rohit Jain (6^th Batch) – Tax Manager, Deloitte
3. Aparnaa Rajasekaran (7^th Batch) – Marketing Manager (Brand Strategy & Content), Georgia-Pacific
