My name is Vishal Kuche, and I live in Raipur.

I completed my BE in Civil Engineering from
Pune University in May 2009. I worked as a
Project Engineer for a few construction
companies for a year and then joined HDFC
housing finance company in June 2010.
The announcement of a mega-merger
between HDFC Ltd. and HDFC Bank
triggered me to join this programme to
enhance my educational portfolio as well as
explore new learnings. This programme
complements me with all the latest and vast
learnings about the business management
world, which I was completely unaware of.

My name is Basavaraj. I am basically into

sales and marketing and have experience
in FMCG, Finance and Banking, and
Alcoholic Beverage industries. I joined
this programme for the two campus
immersions, which assisted a lot in peer
networking and learning. Additionally,
the case method of teaching was the
most insightful for my field and helped
me move ahead in my career.
