To recruit rural managers, the new companies on campus this year were ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, IFMR, Monsanto, GCMMF (Amul), RK Swamy BBDO, Christian Children Fund, and NANDI Foundation among others. Our regular recruiters, Coromandel Fertilisers Ltd., ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, SKS Microfinance, Tata Chemicals Ltd., HLFPPT once again registered their presence on campus.

The companies on campus represented the three key areas in rural management, namely, agribusiness, banking & insurance, and development & microfinance. On more than one occasion, the profiles offered to the candidates were developed and designed mutually by the recruiter and the candidates, resulting in very challenging and enriching profiles.

Fr. E. Abraham, S.J., Director, XIMB, commended the efforts put in by everyone involved in making Xuberance 2007 a grand success. He was pleased with the quick and quality placements of the students this year. To quote him, "XIMB is an institute known for its excellence in imparting knowledge and producing socially sensitive managers. The current placements just highlight this point even more."

Shravan Mukundan Nair, the student placement coordinator, recalls the days spent on planning for the event. He says, "Coordinating even the smallest activity, to conduct the process smoothly, would not have been possible without the combined efforts of each and every student. I am happy that the efforts laid the foundation for superior placements this year."

Placements are just the reflection of the academic environment, the pedagogy, the dedication of the students and how the industry views a B-school. XIMB Placements 2007 exhibit how the top organizations in various fields have immense faith in the stellar students of XIMB. Excellence, after all, is a habit at XIMB.
