Chirangi Singh Rajawat

PGPM Class of 2024

Pursuing an MBA at SPJIMR has been a transformative experience that has significantly enriched my career journey. The program offered not just academic excellence, but also invaluable opportunities for networking—with peers from diverse industries, accomplished professionals, and industry veterans studying alongside. The exposure to real-world challenges through live projects enabled me to apply classroom concepts in dynamic business contexts. One of the most meaningful takeaways was learning through peer interactions—every discussion brought unique perspectives shaped by different functions and sectors, broadening my strategic thinking. SPJIMR truly fostered a collaborative and industry-relevant environment that helped me evolve both personally and professionally.

Neelam Shah

PGPM Class of 2024

My goal post-PGPM was to move into a role where I could combine my finance and analytical skills with broader business strategy and technology advisory. Accenture Strategy was a perfect fit. I was the first in my batch to be placed, with one of the highest packages on campus. The case study interviews were a turning point — the frameworks and structured thinking I developed during PGPM, along with my project experience, helped me crack them with confidence. Today, as a Tech Advisory Consultant in Accenture’s Strategy team, I work at the intersection of business, finance, and technology — exactly the direction I envisioned when I joined SPJIMR. The PGPM gave me the skills, confidence, and network to make that transition successfully.
