| Kunal Dutta:
IIM
Calcutta
|
| A perfectionist by nature, Kunal believes that no matter how well the job is done, there is always room for improvement and there are always ways and means to achieve the same. Much to everyone's disapproval, during his days at IIT Kanpur, he played the role of counsel to JEE candidates, educating them about the various academic choices thereby making a significant contribution in bringing down the rate of branch change. Resolving to accept 'best' rather than 'good' as his mantra has been the secret behind his excellent academic and extra curricular record. He dreams of heading a world class organization someday and aspires to motivate his team to achieve the highest standards of excellence and create an organization that not only creates wealth and value for its shareholders but also generates ideas and knowledge that challenge old paradigms. |
