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.
My disciplined lifestyle and hard work have helped me achieve extraordinary results in both my academics (Gold Medals from IIM Shillong and NIT Rourkela) and professional life. On top of that, the Aditya Birla Scholarship gave me a platform to showcase my leadership skills and an opportunity to contribute to Aditya Birla Group during the internship programme. That experience helped me to achieve greater heights in my professional career, where I am now helping leaders of different organisations solve complex business problems. And finally, I am also enjoying a happy family life with my wife Nikita and son Naitwik.
