Learning from Leaders: Amit Sachdev at JAGSoM
At JAGSoM, learning goes beyond textbooks and classrooms. 
Students regularly interact with top industry leaders who challenge them to think differently and prepare them for the real world.
In a recent session, Amit Sachdev, Chief People Officer at Tata Insights & Quants, spoke about the Jungian paradox of diversity - how people can be different in the same way and the same in different ways.
He shared that real diversity isn’t just about representation - it’s about diversity of thought, background, and approach, which helps build ethical leaders, fosters collaboration, and drives innovation in today’s dynamic workplaces.
Sessions like these give students a deeper understanding of how diverse perspectives can drive positive change, making them more adaptable and ready to contribute to evolving industries.

PGDM Students at JAGSoM Take on Harvard Business Simulation
As part of their Life Skills Capstone Project, PGDM students at JAGSoM recently participated in a challenging Harvard Business Simulation.
A cornerstone of the JAGSoM curriculum is its focus on experiential learning, and this simulation was a perfect example. Students worked in teams, making time-sensitive decisions across Finance, HR, and Business Analytics, then analyzed the outcomes of their strategies.
This hands-on exercise was not just about theoretical knowledge but about strengthening key skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership. It helped students see how classroom concepts directly apply to real-world business challenges, giving them a practical edge as they prepare for the global business landscape.
How is JAGSoM Bangalore’s placement record for 2024 batch? I see 13 LPA as highest — any real figures from students?
Learning Leadership from Industry: Orientation 2025 at JAGSoM
Modern leadership isn’t just about directing teams - it’s about building trust, staying empathetic, and helping people grow.
During the 2025 Orientation, Sangeet Kishore, Global Business Head (Apparel) at Royal Enfield, spent time with the incoming batch to unpack what these qualities look like in practice. He shared how leaders who listen, adapt, and create trust-based environments are the ones who thrive in today’s shifting business landscape.
At JAGSoM, students develop these traits early on. The master’s program blends industry mentorship, hands-on projects, and global learning opportunities to help students understand leadership from the ground up -preparing them to step into roles where influence matters as much as skill.
Is JAGSoM strict about academic consistency (10th, 12th, graduation scores)?
Does anyone know if JAGSoM offers profile-based calls before CAT results?
