Honored with the Best Entrepreneur Award by the NMIMS CIS Dean and multiple academic accolades, I have built my journey at the intersection of business research, leadership, and social impact.


At NMIMS Mumbai, I had the privilege of serving as Chairperson of the Sports Club, where I founded Zest—now a legacy sports event. Beyond sports, I also played a key role in Zion, our college fest, where I handled last-minute sponsorships, managed the flea market, and helped drive footfall and events. These experiences taught me the value of resilience, teamwork, and thinking on my feet.

When I moved to Kingston University London, I carried that same spirit forward—served as a Panel Member at the Student Union, worked as a Student Mentor, and volunteered as a business advisor for Art of encouragement. These experiences sharpened my cross-cultural perspective and strengthened my commitment to building ventures with global relevance.

I have always been curious about how businesses grow and sustain themselves. My capstone project on consumer behavior in India’s tea supply chain, along with on-ground research in rural India, opened my eyes to how big the rural market truly is and the vast scope it offers for businesses. In fact, I have had the chance to interview 100+ founders across India and the UK—learning from their journeys so far, understanding the challenges they overcame, and exploring how they envision the future of their businesses. These conversations helped me get into the minds of founders and shaped my perspective on resilience, strategy, and long-term vision.

Alongside research and leadership, I have built experience through internships at Xtreme Media, Corizo, and Teachnook, focusing on marketing and business strategy. To strengthen my toolkit, I cleared ERM Level 1 in my first attempt, earned a Six Sigma White Belt, and became PMI-ACP® certified.

But impact matters to me just as much as achievement. Whether it was working with the Need Box Foundation on plastic waste management, joining beach cleanups in Mumbai, or volunteering in a student pantry in London, I have always believed that business and social responsibility should go hand in hand.

Today, I'm in the ideation stage of two business ideas—drawing on my experiences in incubation centers at both NMIMS and Kingston, and supported by a global network of founders, CEOs, and B-school leaders I have connected with over the years.

I'm always excited to meet people who are passionate about business, innovation, and building ventures that make a difference. If that sounds like you, let’s connect.

Hi Mayank
Priyanka here from ARINGO. Speaking about your profile, your profile brings a strong mix of leadership, entrepreneurship, and social impact, which fits well with the kind of early-career applicants ISB YLP looks for. You’ve clearly taken initiative, founding Zest, handling sponsorships, leading event and your experience across NMIMS and Kingston gives you a good cross-cultural angle.

Your research work, interviews with 100+ founders, and rural market project add depth and make your interest in CPG/business strategy look genuine. Certifications like ERM L1, Six Sigma, ACP also help show preparedness. The main area to be mindful of is your 6.9 GPA, so you’ll need to rely heavily on strong essays, a clear future plan, and a strong interview performance.

I’d be happy to offer you a free profile review for your target programs to see where you stand and how to boost your chances, happy to help!
