Prof. Viswanath Pingali, Chairperson of Placements, stated, “It is a pleasure to see PGP-FABM do so well during the summer internship process. The programme is rated as World number 1 in Food and Agribusiness, and it is good to see recruiters reposing faith in the programme”.

Sachidananda Hota, Recruitment Secretary of the PGP-FABM Placement Committee, said, “The Summer Internship Placement process this year has reflected the growing relevance of PGP-FABM talent across the food and agribusiness ecosystem. Our objective has been to enable meaningful alignment between student aspirations and the evolving needs of the agribusiness ecosystem.

The diversity of recruiters and roles offered this year reflects the expanding scope of the agribusiness sector and the increasing recognition of the value that FABM students bring through their combination of sectoral understanding and managerial capabilities. As a Placement Committee, we have continued to strengthen our engagement with existing recruiters while building relationships with new organisations. We believe that successful summer internships go beyond matching candidates with opportunities; they lay the foundation for meaningful industry exposure, mutual value creation, and long-term relationships between organisations and the institute.”
