For the Alma Mater

The institute has a history of cultivating change agents who go on to shine in the industry. A very

important facet of the development of MDI is what these change agents give back to the institute.

It is heartening to see that after passing out of the institute and moving into their high-flying careers,

these change masters return to their alma mater. A large number of alumni came as a part of the

recruitment teams of their firms, proving their strategic importance in their organizations.

Moving ahead – looking to the horizon

As the Indian and global economy take firm strides on the path to recovery, the need for thought

leaders reverberates throughout the business world. As was seen in this placement season, MDI is a

huge talent pool of young managers inculcated with sharp analytical and problem-solving abilities,

impeccable attitude, and a well developed capability to manage and lead change.

It is on a path of constant growth that MDI finds itself in, and as we move through this phase of

consolidation and growth, it is surely going to find itself amongst the preferred destinations for

recruiters.
