As an Odia, I feel very proud and honoured that KIIT and KISS are leading education institutes in 21st Century under the guidance of Hon'ble Dr. Achyuta Samanta and the talented faculty of KSOM providing the necessary education to the future generation that will build our nation. The Marketing Konclave was managed very well and I was happy to see the students leading from the front to manage the Konclave with great enthusiasm and high spirit. The current generation has always inspired me, kept me curious and agile as an individual and encouraged me to think like them and try to inculcate their approach to solve current issues we are facing. Meeting KSOM students was a testimonial to this and I was very much impressed to see the passion, devotion and perseverance of the students.

The students were energized and their confidence soared with this live, interactive format.

Abhishek Mohanty
Associate Director at PricewaterhouseCoopers Pvt. Ltd
On my first ever visit to the KSOM campus, I was rather impressed by how vibrant, open and honest the Student community was. I loved the fact that they were only too willing to engage in professional banter! I think the Conclave is an excellent idea - it brings academia and industry closer. And maybe going forward, the institute may could even get the Conclave Speaker(s) and interested Students acquainted with each other well before the day of the Conclave - perhaps through a Q&A on the topic in question - so that the students take away more than just that one day's worth of an interaction.
Nirmalya Pal
Director, DebriN Synergy
By the virtue of my profession and the services that we offer to many top B Schools and Universities, I often need to visit campuses across the nation. But this visit to KSOM for the 7th National Marketing Conclave was one of the best experiences so far. While it was professionally managed to the micro level, the human touch, the warmth in the hospitality could always be felt. Must also admit that the organizing committee managed the conference in a way where the conditions for being an “enabler”, distinct from a “speaker” were clearly established. In the process, the learning was not just limited to the students-participants, but was for everyone. Great Show. My unconditional support remains, whenever needed.
Anamika Dasgupta Sharma
Coach & Facilitator | Founder of The Potter's Earth Career Advisors
Every interaction with students of KSOM is a wonderful experience. It is refreshing to meet with a bunch of young minds who are open to inputs and equally participative with their own thoughts, opinions and views. With the right blend of curiosity, aspiration and courage, these students will prove to be an asset to any organization. My best wishes and support to the faculty who are doing such an awesome job with this young lot!

We really appreciate the way KSOM conducted the training program for the Nursing personnel. The faculty trainers from KSOM provided different approaches and new ways to train with lots of new ideas and skills.
Mr Subhashish Das
VP HR – Berger Paints
A student who graduates from KSOM is equipped with three unique skill sets that makes him or her a complete package. The first and foremost is the emphasis of the institution to strongly imbibe ethical and socially responsible practices - through the various training and learning modules. Secondly, the focus on active learning, simulation and industry exposure ensures that a student possesses real and relevant employable skills - which act as a motivation for hiring firms as it brings down their overall cost of training. Finally, a healthy relationship between students & faculty members help in smooth working on various inclusive innovation projects that are actively being pursued by the institution. Over the years, having hired students of KSOM, and also being mentor to few others, I have been really impressed to notice these skills among most students, and would therefore recommend all prospective employers to try out this institution of learning.
Mr. Subhranshu S Acharya
General Manager, SIDBI, BBSR

On my first ever visit to the KSOM campus, I was rather impressed by how vibrant, open and honest the Student community was. I loved the fact that they were only too willing to engage in professional banter! I think the Conclave is an excellent idea - it brings academia and industry closer. And maybe going forward, the institute may could even get the Conclave Speaker(s) and interested Students acquainted with each other well before the day of the Conclave - perhaps through a Q&A on the topic in question - so that the students take away more than just that one day's worth of an interaction.
Nirmalya Pal
Director, DebriN Synergy
By the virtue of my profession and the services that we offer to many top B Schools and Universities, I often need to visit campuses across the nation. But this visit to KSOM for the 7th National Marketing Conclave was one of the best experiences so far. While it was professionally managed to the micro level, the human touch, the warmth in the hospitality could always be felt. Must also admit that the organizing committee managed the conference in a way where the conditions for being an “enabler”, distinct from a “speaker” were clearly established. In the process, the learning was not just limited to the students-participants, but was for everyone. Great Show. My unconditional support remains, whenever needed.
Anamika Dasgupta Sharma
Coach & Facilitator | Founder of The Potter's Earth Career Advisors
Every interaction with students of KSOM is a wonderful experience. It is refreshing to meet with a bunch of young minds who are open to inputs and equally participative with their own thoughts, opinions and views. With the right blend of curiosity, aspiration and courage, these students will prove to be an asset to any organization. My best wishes and support to the faculty who are doing such an awesome job with this young lot!
Shubhayu Sengupta

The conclave was exceptionally well organized and provided a great platform to get the industry and the academic world together
Dr. B.B Mohapatra
Director of Nursing, Odisha
We really appreciate the way KSOM conducted the training program for the Nursing personnel. The faculty trainers from KSOM provided different approaches and new ways to train with lots of new ideas and skills.
Mr Subhashish Das
VP HR – Berger Paints
A student who graduates from KSOM is equipped with three unique skill sets that makes him or her a complete package. The first and foremost is the emphasis of the institution to strongly imbibe ethical and socially responsible practices - through the various training and learning modules. Secondly, the focus on active learning, simulation and industry exposure ensures that a student possesses real and relevant employable skills - which act as a motivation for hiring firms as it brings down their overall cost of training. Finally, a healthy relationship between students & faculty members help in smooth working on various inclusive innovation projects that are actively being pursued by the institution. Over the years, having hired students of KSOM, and also being mentor to few others, I have been really impressed to notice these skills among most students, and would therefore recommend all prospective employers to try out this institution of learning.
Mr. Subhranshu S Acharya
General Manager, SIDBI, BBSR
KSOM, KIIT University has been our partner in conducting training for officers from all grades for more than 3 years now. They always keep surprising us with new pedagogical approaches and contents.

Must also admit that the organizing committee managed the conference in a way where the conditions for being an “enabler”, distinct from a “speaker” were clearly established. In the process, the learning was not just limited to the students-participants, but was for everyone. Great Show. My unconditional support remains, whenever needed.

Every interaction with students of KSOM is a wonderful experience. It is refreshing to meet with a bunch of young minds who are open to inputs and equally participative with their own thoughts, opinions and views. With the right blend of curiosity, aspiration and courage, these students will prove to be an asset to any organization. My best wishes and support to the faculty who are doing such an awesome job with this young lot!

I had the privilege to be part of the 7th National HR Conclave and share one's experiences on very key and pertinent topics which were part of the agenda for the Conclave. It was an extremely rewarding experience, interacting with a bunch of bright young minds and the dedicated faculty and the management team. The conclave was exceptionally well organized and provided a great platform to get the industry and the academic world together

A student who graduates from KSOM is equipped with three unique skill sets that makes him or her a complete package. The first and foremost is the emphasis of the institution to strongly imbibe ethical and socially responsible practices - through the various training and learning modules. Secondly, the focus on active learning, simulation and industry exposure ensures that a student possesses real and relevant employable skills - which act as a motivation for hiring firms as it brings down their overall cost of training. Finally, a healthy relationship between students & faculty members help in smooth working on various inclusive innovation projects that are actively being pursued by the institution. Over the years, having hired students of KSOM, and also being mentor to few others, I have been really impressed to notice these skills among most students, and would therefore recommend all prospective employers to try out this institution of learning.

We are extremely happy with the empanelled faculty from KSOM. We never thought that we we will be able to conduct our training so smoothly at BBSR Zonal Training Centre. This would not have been possible without their support and collaboration.
