Our Scholars: Conversations
Meet the Aditya Birla Scholars
The Aditya Birla Scholarship is awarded to students who show not just academic grit but also extra-curricular excellence and have a passion to lead and change the world. We are proud to dedicate this space to all our past Scholars and invite them to share their fascinating journeys in both their academic and professional lives.
After graduating from BITS Pilani in 2016, I went on to complete an MBA from IIM Kozhikode and obtain the CFA designation. Currently, as a Senior Manager at a fintech company, I utilise my analytical skills, strategic mindset, and leadership abilities to shape decisions. My career trajectory reflects my commitment to professional growth in the fast-paced financial industry.

I've been an Aditya Birla Scholar since 2018 and it has been an inspiring journey. I've tried to push my boundaries and excel in various fields. I'm happy to share that I've been offered admission to the University of Oxford in its BCL programme. I look forward to continuing my association with the esteemed Aditya Birla Group and to carry its flag high in my future endeavours.
