values to IIFM. Even today, in routine office discussions or high-level strategic meetings, I often find myself offering perspectives that are unique and grounded thanks to the transdisciplinary training I received at IIFM. In many ways, IIFM didn’t just prepare me for a job it prepared me to find meaning in my work and bring clarity where others might see chaos. For young graduates of IIFM, especially those at a crossroads, I’d offer this: IIFM is not a terminal course, nor is it job-oriented in the conventional sense. It is a course that builds thought leaders people equipped with values, systems thinking, and long-term perspective. Naturally, such qualities may not always be immediately recognized or rewarded in the job market. But as one moves forward in their career, these become the most essential traits.</description><pubDate>Sun, 07 Sep 2025 03:05:16 GMT</pubDate><category>IIFMight in Focus</category><category>2012-14</category></item><item><title>Rohit Singh (PFM 2010-12): Public Policy Manager at Amazon</title><link>https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/rohit-singh-pfm-2010-12-amazon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/rohit-singh-pfm-2010-12-amazon/</guid><description>&quot;Dream big, experiment, and don’t fear changing paths to find work you truly enjoy.&quot;</description><pubDate>Sun, 31 Aug 2025 01:22:13 GMT</pubDate><category>IIFMight in Focus</category><category>2010-12</category></item><item><title>Ranjan Mathur (PFM 2000-2002), Partner – Ernst &amp; Young</title><link>https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/ranjan-mathur-pfm-2000-2002-ernst-young/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/ranjan-mathur-pfm-2000-2002-ernst-young/</guid><description>My career began with a PSU, Hindustan Latex Limited (HLL),From there, I moved to EKLAVYA/Samavesh, Aide et Action, and a few gigs with research organisations. Those years gave me exposure to grassroots development issues, lessons that continue to shape my work even today. My advice to IIFMights would be simple, treat your two years at IIFM as much more than just a classroom experience. The institute is unique because learning happens everywhere: in lectures, during field visits and in the hostel corridors.</description><pubDate>Sat, 23 Aug 2025 08:51:00 GMT</pubDate><category>IIFMight in Focus</category><category>2000-02</category></item><item><title>Sarthak Kumar Pal PFM (1988-90): Chief of Party- GPE, Save the Children</title><link>https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/sarthak-kumar-pal-pfm-1988-90/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/sarthak-kumar-pal-pfm-1988-90/</guid><description>&quot;Act like a sponge to absorb the knowledge/information available.

I do have a fond memory of several faculty members who taught me at IIFM.  My advice for recent graduates looking to transition into a new sector after a couple of years would be to take a twin-tack approach – one that is both strategic and adaptive. Strategic means think ahead of time and look deep into yourself to find out what motivates you. Adaptive means – don’t get stuck by being too idealistic when the real world is imperfect and chaotic. You’ve got to go with the flow and at the same time wait for moments to do strategic leapfrogging. Sometimes a leap of faith is necessary, but make sure it&apos;s an informed decision.</description><pubDate>Sun, 03 Aug 2025 03:15:52 GMT</pubDate><category>IIFMight in Focus</category><category>1999-2000</category></item><item><title>Pushkar Dubey(PFM 2014-16),Senior Consultant, Deloitte</title><link>https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/pushkar-dubeypfm-2014-16-deloitte/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/pushkar-dubeypfm-2014-16-deloitte/</guid><description>Looking back, the biggest contributions for me at IIFM were the unwavering support of faculty who constantly encouraged us to think critically and view issues from diverse angles; the strong bonds of friendship with my batchmates that brought both encouragement and joy; and the courses that built a solid foundation in research and analysis. Together, these experiences shaped not just my professional journey, but also nurtured values like teamwork, continuous learning, and perseverance. My advice to current students would be to make the most of these two years—not just by focusing on academics, but by actively exploring your interests and passions. Don’t hesitate to try new things, engage deeply with faculty and alumni, and discover what truly motivates you</description><pubDate>Sun, 27 Jul 2025 02:10:08 GMT</pubDate><category>IIFMight in Focus</category><category>2014-16</category></item><item><title>Shashank Deora (PFM 2012-14): PhD Student, IIT Bombay</title><link>https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/shashank-deora-pfm-2012-14-phd-student-iit-bombay/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/shashank-deora-pfm-2012-14-phd-student-iit-bombay/</guid><description>The diversity of geographical and educational backgrounds of my batchmates helped me appreciate the diversity of viewpoints. Through the courses and field visits during the two years at IIFM, I could imagine the co-existence of ecological conservation with the mainstream development discourse. These experiences that I gained while at IIFM have played critical role in shaping my world-view. My advice to current students is to live in the moment and get the most out of these two years both inside and outside the classrooms. On the academic front, one specific advice I have for students is to think of IIFM courses and internships as falling into two different buckets: perspective courses and skill courses. In my opinion, a bit of understanding of both kinds of courses can give one a reasonable grounding, irrespective of the sector one chooses to be in.</description><pubDate>Sat, 19 Jul 2025 18:09:16 GMT</pubDate><category>IIFMight in Focus</category><category>2012-14</category></item><item><title>Alok Kashyap (PFM 2004-2006): Executive Director, DBS Bank, India</title><link>https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/alok-kashyap-pfm-2004-2006-executive-director-dbs-bank-india/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/alok-kashyap-pfm-2004-2006-executive-director-dbs-bank-india/</guid><description>&quot;Today when i look back after almost 2 decades of IIFM, I feel privileged to be part of such a gifted cohort –Class of 2004 -2006 .

Just remembering them all, makes me full of gratitude that they were my batchmates at the boot camp before we chose our respective Everests! Its okay to explore. I think wherever we go and whatever we chose, the grit and openness to learning is what matters. What path you will finally take is dependent on too many variables. Don’t stress over it!

For freshers, I’d say: be open to learning, don’t shy away from transitions, and invest in building both domain expertise and people skills. The ability to adapt and continuously learn is key in today’s evolving job landscape more so with technology gaining an upper hand. Can we leave aside AI today? The answer is a big NO. So, upskill should be the buzz word in everybody’s mind.</description><pubDate>Sun, 06 Jul 2025 02:20:57 GMT</pubDate><category>IIFMight in Focus</category><category>2000-01</category></item><item><title>Divy Ninad Koul (MRM 2006-07), Co-Founder &amp; Executive Partner, Elevance Coaching &amp; Advisory | Former Commercial Excellence Lead APAC &amp; META, Cargill | Certified Executive &amp; Leadership Coach</title><link>https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/divy-ninad-koul-mrm-2006-07-co-founder-executive-partner-elevance-coaching-advisory-former-commercial-excellence-lead-apac-meta-cargill-certified-executive-leadership/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.iifmight.com/iifmight_in_focus/divy-ninad-koul-mrm-2006-07-co-founder-executive-partner-elevance-coaching-advisory-former-commercial-excellence-lead-apac-meta-cargill-certified-executive-leadership/</guid><description>I have been fortunate to have studied full time in 4 universities.
