Ankur Agnihotri (Manager - Procurement)Jindal Saw Limited

Entered IIFT as professional of 10+ years of work experience, but after going through executive program I feel more like a complete professional. With the best faculty, wide experience & practical knowledge based course structure, makes the over all experience more valuable. Number of assignments / projects during the course provides a live environment & ensures that we apply the learning in parallel with the course. Credit of making new subjects & topics sounding easy goes to dedicated & experienced faculty. Variance in batch in term of experience, designations, sectors, educational backgrounds & geographical diversity gives as exposure many more aspects than one expects. VSAT is just a term used, but its more like a live class experience with un-limited integrations & learning. I am a proud IIFTean.
