Looking back to my journey at IIPM was truly a turning point in my life. It was where I began to understand how businesses think, how decisions are made and how leadership is built. The institute and faculty members played a huge role inspiring us to think critically, challenge norms and develop the business mindset every young professional needs. The institute laid a strong foundation that made my transition student to corporate life smooth and confident Every today, whether it was my time in SCM ops at country Delight or currently in supply-chain planning at P&G, the knowledge and mindset I developed at IIPM continue to guide me every day. IIPM didn't just prepare me for my first job it prepared me for the long journey ahead.
