The IDFC FIRST Bank MBA Conclave 4.0 brought together scholars for a day of conversations, mentorship, and meaningful connections.
The most anticipated and central moment of the event was the interaction with our MD and CEO, Mr. V. Vaidyanathan, with the scholars, where he engaged with scholars’ questions on areas for personal development, dealing with AI, skill development, and such subjects of immense interest to the Scholars. To his pointed questions, they even candidly shared the number of hours they spent on Social Media! He spoke about the importance of time and how meaningless scrolling takes it away.
Mr. Adrian Andrade, Chief Human Resources Officer, offered perspectives on navigating professional journeys, while Rachana Iyer, Head – Corporate Social Responsibility, reflected on the scholarship programme’s journey and growing community impact.
Scholars also heard from leaders Mr. Anirban Dutta- Head, Personalisation and Digital Acquisition; Mr. Sourav Sarkar, Head- Design; Ms. Swati Bhalla, Head, Digital Transformation – Customer Experience; Ms. Paridhi Jain, Analyst - Business Excellence, during the panel discussion Beyond the MBA: Real Leadership in Marketing, Tech & Risk in a Digital-First Era. Ms. Radhika Shenoy, Head - CRES, shared reflections on the value of mentorship in the scholarship journey.
The day also included a career-focused Q&A with Alfred Mendes, Lead – Talent Acquisition and concluded with an engaging city-wise team activity that strengthened connections across the scholar community.
