When you look at where McKinsey hires from, you’ll see the usual names - Harvard, INSEAD, Wharton and then you notice IIM Ahmedabad, Calcutta, and Bangalore right there in the mix.

No fancy campuses or global marketing.
Just strong training, tough competition, and students who know how to get the job done.

What stands out:

• IIM Ahmedabad is right next to ISB and Darden.

• IIM Calcutta and Bangalore are above schools like HEC Paris and IMD.

• Indian MBAs are building a real presence in global consulting.

It’s a small reminder you don’t need an international tag to prove capability.
