India, 30th April 2025: The Indian Institute of Management Kashipur (IIM Kashipur), one of India's leading/ premier management institutions, hosted its 12th Convocation Ceremony, marking a major milestone with its largest-ever graduating cohort.
This year, 598 students were awarded degrees across five prestigious programs at IIM Kashipur, marking a 36.5% increase in batch size over the previous year. The program-wise distribution of graduating students is as follows: 319 students from the MBA program, 161 students from the MBA (Analytics) program, 34 students from the Executive MBA (E-MBA) program, 72 students from the Executive MBA in Analytics (EMBAA) program, and 12 students from the Doctoral (Ph.D.) program.
The convocation was graced by Shri Alok Agarwal, Senior Advisor at Reliance Industries, who delivered the convocation address as the Chief Guest, alongside the institute's senior leadership and faculty members. Shri Agarwal lauded the graduates for their resilience and readiness to lead in a fast-changing world.
Recounting his days at IIM as he addressed the graduating students, their guardians and the faculty, Shri Alok Agrawal said, "Coming back to an IIM convocation brings back memories - telex machines at Bank of America, the early days of computer science and the signature Vadilal icecreams. In just one generation, we've moved from punch cards to AI, from waiting days for a reply to being surrounded by satellites. Most things remain the same, except for the advancements in technology and its rapid growth."
"This incredible pace of innovation is both humbling and empowering. But as graduates of an IIM, part of the most privileged 0.01%, the real measure of success lies not just in what you achieve, but in the impact you make. Use your education not only to build careers, but to shape a more inclusive and equitable society.", he urged on.
