I am Saurabh Purty, currently pursuing my second year at IIM Kozhikode. I hold a B.Tech degree in Mechanical Engineering from NIT Allahabad. My professional journey began as a Deputy Manager at Indraprastha Gas Limited, an oil and gas firm, where I spent three years honing my skills across diverse areas such as strategy, operations, analytics, and product management. During a recent summer internship at Dr. Reddy's, I delved into the realm of product management, further enriching my expertise. Beyond my professional pursuits, I am deeply passionate about mentoring students. Over the years, I have had the privilege of guiding and mentoring more than 200 students. Additionally, I have been associated with 2-3 institutes, contributing to the preparation of students for GDPI, summer internships, and final placements.
