Fundraiser Consulting Workshop with Aaditya Agarwal, IIM Ahmedabad' 2020: Covid-19 Relief
Updated: Jun 28, 2020
Are you interested in Management Consulting or planning to join the top Management Consulting Firms like McKinsey, BCG and Bain? If yes, you should not miss out on this opportunity to learn the consulting case prep tricks from Aaditya Agarwal, the Institute Rank 1 of IIM Ahmedabad (batch of 2020), set to join McKinsey & Co. Aaditya has come forward to share the details of the consulting workshop that he is going to conduct for the benefit of those who wish to learn about consulting cases and at the same time contribute for a noble cause.
Overview & Mission
IIM Ahmedabad's pedagogy is designed not just to teach management skills to their students but leave them with a hunger to ask one question always - "How can I improve the current status quo given my skill sets?"
In these unprecedented times, everyone is trying to do their bit. Our alma mater, IIM Ahmedabad, ran a household survey in Ahmedabad documenting the live experience of those less fortunate than many of us and their serious need for help in arranging resources to procure food. By tying up with local authorities, the study has been trying to go a step beyond and deliver relief as well leaving the volunteers in constant need for more financial support to help more families consistently.
It is with the aim to help them and do his bit to improve the status quo, that my IIM-A batch mate, Aaditya Agarwal, is planning a fundraiser teaching session wherein he plans to share useful strategies to crack case studies for consulting interviews and other roles. The session serves to provide suitable guidance to those who are seeking such skills with all proceeds going for a noble cause.

Aaditya recently graduated from IIM Ahmedabad as the Gold Medalist for being ranked first in his batch (IR-1), and is set to join McKinsey in August 2020. He has the interesting experience of having successfully converted interviews with the top three consulting firms - Bain & Co., McKinsey & Co, and BCG, in IIM Ahmedabad. On-campus, he was the Coordinator of the Consult Club. Earlier, he was a part of the Young India Fellowship (YIF) batch in 2015, graduated as Institute Rank 2 (and Department Rank 1) from IIT Delhi before that in 2014.
