Suri Kasbon
“The real learning came from practice. I had to learn to unlearn: how I communicate, how messages land, how leadership looks in different contexts. Over time, I became more adaptable and self-aware. I learned when to step forward, when to step back, and how to create space for others to contribute.”
Itishri Singh
“The MBA gave me space to reflect. Through modules across finance, operations, marketing and strategy, I began to understand where my strengths really were. Confidence doesn’t come from a qualification alone. It comes from immersion, from speaking up and from asking questions.”
