ALUMNI REFLECTIONS -
Voices of our alumni sharing their experiences and memories.

RAJESH VENKATARAMANI (PGDM 2006-2008) 

National Channel and Activation Marketing, at EPOS India.

Looking back at my time at JAGSoM (Batch of 2006–08), I can confidently say it shaped not only my career but also how I approach challenges in marketing. With over 17 years of experience, I still draw on the practical, forward-looking lessons I learned-whether in consumer behavior, digital marketing, or strategic brand management. The faculty made a lasting impact, acting as mentors who brought real-world experience into the classroom and encouraged critical thinking. Equally invaluable has been the alumni network, opening doors to collaboration and opportunities across industries. JAGSoM was more than a business school-it gave me the confidence to innovate, the resilience to adapt, and the clarity to lead with integrity. For anyone aiming for a marketing career, it provides the right foundation, people, and support to turn ambitions into reality
