Adarsh Unny, Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management (EPGP) 2022-2023, Gold Medallist – Best All Round Performer

Thirty-one-year-old Adarsh was born in Dubai. He belongs to a close-knit and supportive family. 

At IIMB, he had several academic achievements including the CGPA he achieved. Adarsh participated in several case competitions, business plan events, quiz contests and other activities, and won 11 case competitions across various fields such as Strategy, Product Management, Operations, Marketing, and more. These include first prizes across international-level fests at IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Calcutta and IIM Bangalore, along with various company organized events. He co-led the efforts at the War of Sections – where the EPGP cohort participated for the very first time. Apart from winning individual/group events there, he bagged the second spot overall. 

He adds, “I also had the opportunity to work on various business plans, one of which was awarded by NSRCEL as well as through a case competition organized for Vista. I also co-led the International Immersion Committee.”

Adarsh says that the IIMB experience gave him access to world-class faculty, peer-to-peer learning, and the opportunity to interact with the brightest minds in the country through guest lectures and seminars. “Working on live projects and participating in so many diverse activities helped me gain insights into various industries. The classroom experience was also a unique blend of live simulations, interactive sessions and so much more.” 

Adarsh believes that EPGP, with its cutting-edge curriculum and strong focus on leadership, has helped him boost the skills which he requires in order to take challenging decisions at an organizational level and create positive impact. “The specific tools and knowledge imparted by core courses such as Competition and Strategy, Macroeconomics and Operations Management have strengthened my business acumen and provided an understanding of macroeconomic environments and strategy development. The emphasis on case-based learning, holistic development and leadership competencies are also noteworthy. Having equipped myself with such skills, I plan on making the transition into the technology sector in a management role.”
