Anup Eringhikal: Extraordinary journey at Nirma
"I remember IMNU fondly for two things: for giving me a holistic perspective on life and about business, and for exposing me to highly accomplished individuals, many of whom remain dear friends even today. IMNU played a significant role in helping me discard my “tunnel” vision of a fresh engineer, and sparked an enduring interest in the way the human element of resources contribute to both the success and decline of an organization.
A green campus, a diverse set of batch mates, inspiring faculties imparting quality training through case based methodology and enormous opportunities for personal development in numerous club & committee activities – all these made my two years at IMNU an extraordinary journey." These are the words of Anup Eringhikal of batch 2010-12.
Prabhat Vijh: Senior functionary at Tata AIG
Mr. Prabhat Vijh is working as zonal underwriter for Tata AIG General Insurance since Feb 2013. He has over 6 years of industry experience working with SBI General Insurance as Sr Manager Retail and ICICI Prudential as distribution expansion manager of Gujarat. He has been a valuable alumnus, providing valuable insights to the academic structure of Nirma time and again.
Mr. Vijh has been visiting Nirma since past few years and always felt happy with reinstated sense of pride every time he visited the campus.
Since Mr. Vijh has switched over organizations with banking at its core, IMNU held a brief interview of Prabhat and asked him what is the banking scenario prevailing today and how Nirma through its curriculum can cater to industry expectations. Relating with today’s scenario of banking and insurance agencies, he said that insurance agencies provide various products to the banking sector while banks on the other side look for products that are reliable and customer driven. With market growing as steady as ever, the opportunities are immense with more and more banking and insurance companies coming up in recent years. What Nirma can do is provide a specialization course in insurance to bridge the gap between corporate demands and educational aspect of learning the subject.
With varied portfolio, IMNU further asked him about the aspects he considered necessary in the field of banking to grow. To this he replied that stable growth was the primary objective when switching over organizations over the years. But the changing trends in the area of management and technical expertise were other substantial reasons that made him travel from ICICI to TATA AIG. Insurance is all about managing people and he had always liked to do so.
The interview with Mr. Prabhat Vijh was quite valuable that provided deep insights in banking and insurance sectors prevailing currently.
