Dear fellow IIM Alumni,
As almost half a calendar year has passed, we would like to acknowledge several IIM Alumni who continue to make a mark and make us all proud. Starting with the big news of IIM Raipur admitting 20% more women in their current PG batch, women are sure to take a lead in the industry. Ms. Vandita Pant (IIML alumna – PGP’92) is listed in The Forbes World’s Most Influential CMOs List: 2022. A very well deserved achievement. Ms. Richa Singh (IIMB – PGP’01) is named the CFO of Pernod Ricard.
IIM ALumni SG administers equal rights and opportunities for women and thus will also be actively participating in the 11th Edition of AWLS Singapore which talks about women in leadership, gender parity, pay gap, and other issues.
Another proud moment for the IIM Alumni SG community was when we were called to dinner with High Commissioner, HE Kumaran. It was a splendid evening and many issues related to India and Singapore bonds were discussed and how the IIM Alumni SG community can accelerate and facilitate this.
Mr. LV Vaidyanath (IIMA – PGP’95) having served P&G for more than 26 years is named the next CEO of P&G India w.e.f 1 July 2022. This is not all, keep hooked for more updates and follow us on Linkedin.
We will keep on sharing such amazing news and updates. If you’d like to share your own achievements or someone else’s, please email me personally at suresh.shankar@iimalumni.sg. Do spend a minute to encourage these pioneers in the #iimentrepreneurs series – fledgling and old in their endeavours.
Importantly, notwithstanding the multiple crises unfolding, the world is getting back to a semblance of normality. Travel, physical encounters, f2f events… are all coming back. And India turns 75 soon.
We have some great ideas lined up. Expect more news in the coming weeks.
Regards
Suresh Shankar
President, Pan IIM Alumni Association Singapore
