Mr. Dhawal Mamtora (PGDM – Batch of 2020–2022) is currently working as a Senior Tax Consultant at Deloitte Tax LLP. Here’s a look at his journey from the PGDM program to a successful career in corporate taxation.

Which part of the PGDM journey influenced you the most and why?

What shaped my PGDM journey most deeply was the guidance and mentorship I received from the faculty and placement team. Their commitment to excellence inspired me to push my limits and prepare thoroughly for professional challenges. This support was instrumental in helping me crack the Deloitte interview and gave me the confidence to step into a corporate role with clarity and focus.

How did the program prepare you for real-world challenges in your career?

Looking back, the program prepared me for real-world challenges by aligning academic learning with practical, industry-focused insights. Faculty emphasized practical application of theoretical concepts, allowing me to translate classroom learning into real-world business decisions. This hands-on approach, combined with case studies and simulations, equipped me to handle challenges efficiently and adapt quickly to professional demands.

How did the faculty, placements, or industry exposure support your journey?

I was fortunate to learn from faculty whose expertise and approachable nature made even complex subjects easier to grasp. Internships added another dimension, giving me firsthand exposure to corporate workflows and helping me align classroom learning with industry expectations. The placement team, under the guidance of Arun Sir, was equally supportive—offering resume workshops, interview preparation, and consistent mentorship that gave me the confidence to face recruiters and make the most of every opportunity.

 What are your top 3 reasons to recommend the program to future students?

I would recommend Vivekanand PGDM program for three main reasons. First, the expert faculty and their mentorship, which helps students connect theory with practical applications. Second, the variety of workshops, competitions, and interactive projects, which encourage students to develop essential professional skills and bring out their best potential. Third, the placement support team, whose guidance and encouragement help students navigate recruitment confidently and achieve their career goals.

I encourage future students to actively participate in workshops, internships, and mentorship opportunities they can truly shape your career and help you reach your professional goals.
