In a significant move highlighting the growing role of corporate India in education, the Adani Group has launched a ₹1.62 crore scholarship program for students at IIM Calcutta under its Adani Accelerated Leadership Program (AALP).

Here’s what stands out:

• Every year, 6 MBA students from IIM Calcutta will be selected
• The scholarship totals ₹1.62 crore, disbursed in two tranches of ₹81 lakh each over two years
• Continuation isn’t automatic — it depends on academic performance and demonstrated leadership potential

This isn’t just about financial aid — it’s also a clear signal of how top corporates are trying to identify and groom leadership talent early, directly from premier B-schools.
