Wipro makes maximum offers at IIM-A's 3rd summer cluster

IT major, Wipro made maximum number of offers across multiple roles in consulting, eco-energy and corporate finance at the end of cluster three of summer placements at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A). However, the institute, which is conducting a cohort-based summer placement process for the first time this year, refused to divulge details about the number of offers.

Interviews in the third cluster of the summer placement process saw students being offered roles by more than 30 companies across a large spectrum of sectors including media, FMCG, telecom, pharma, apparels, advertising, IT, automobile, banking and consulting, stated an institute communique.

Several recruiters like Airtel, Heinz, Britannia, Marico and Aircel offered sales & marketing roles while Mahindra & Mahindra offered roles in general management. "This year once again, automobile giant, Renault, offered international roles," the institute further stated.

In line with the changing preferences of students to seek challenging roles in new domains, the third cluster also saw several first time recruiters like Ogilvy & Mather, S.Kumar’s Group, Arvind Brands and Onicra. Continuing to opt for internship roles in politics and policy management as well, one of the IIM-A students has chosen to intern with PD Rai, Member of Parliament and an IIM-A alumnus. The student would support the legislator to participate actively in parliamentary and national policy making processes, as well as project management on specific initiatives at national and constituency level.

The next Cluster on 18 November will also include opportunities of interning with several start-ups apart from firms in niche consulting, financial services and general management domains.
