Mr. Rohit Chaudhary, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida alum Batch 2012 was the first management graduate from his B School to bag placement with a reputed international bank like Barclays. In the last five years he has had a prolific career in finance, with the bank and in his new role with Moody’s Analytics. In the same span his bank has recruited almost 25 fresh graduates from his institute. It speaks volumes about the impression he has made with the company, and as he says, also of the growing stature of his alma mater.

Mr. Chaudhary made his presence felt at the recently held alumni meet for the first time. He was thrilled to be a part of the growth of his institute and touched by the respect shown by his juniors. According to him, the alumni-B School bond remains as strong as ever. “I have been closely associated with the Noida campus and so are some of my batch mates and seniors. I know they are closely involved with the placement decisions too. Being in NCR, job opportunities are tremendous, and if you have people in the industry, it works to your advantage,” he says.

He believes, the B School is harnessing this advantage and growing not only in rankings but in industry perception as well. Mr. Chaudhary also credits the contribution of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida in his own career. “I was always interested in Finance and my B School helped me on in the right direction. I used to have discussions with my Finance faculty and that helped me upgrade my skills. It also taught me the best way to express my knowledge of the subject. The faculty members understand your needs and have conversations accordingly,” he says thoughtfully.

Mr. Chaudhary admits that it’s these interactions that keep bringing him back to the campus. And he would like to stay involved with activities at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida as alum. “I think one of the biggest favors the B School did for our careers, is to make us independent. Even during placements while everyone who was interested got placed, you had the option of fending for yourself. I did that through RBS Bank because my B School had instilled the confidence in me,” he explains. And it suffices to say that Mr. Chaudhary has never looked back in his career since.
