Stories
A Proud Milestone - I’m delighted to share that I have completed the Executive Post Graduate Programme in Rail Management (Cohort Batch-2) from IIM Kashipur. My sincere thanks to everyone who supported me throughout this 14-month journey. The programme reignited the same curiosity and passion I felt after completing my engineering. The on-campus bootcamp at IIM Kashipur was truly enriching, and earning IIM alumni status is a matter of immense pride. I look forward to staying connected with the alumni community and applying these learnings to contribute meaningfully to the rail industry. A milestone achieved, a journey that continues.
