Aishwarya Kaushik
President of ESCP Women in Leadership Society, ESCP Dean’s Award Recipient
India - Class of 2024
“The opportunity to be a part of the MBA cohort 2023 was a groundbreaking experience for me. From meeting people from 27+ nationalities to learning about the various business aspects this one year has been a great source of growth and transformation. The course work is really extensive with deep learning through practical work and case studies that gives a holistic idea of the subjects. On top of that various exercises such as the Business simulation, supply chain game as well as the company strategy simulation gives a real - time experience of the subjects and teaches how to implement proposed strategies in the actual business scenarios.
As an addition to the MBA experience, being assigned the president of the Women in Leadership society has been a very inspiring journey for me. The values and the mission that the society stands for to create an environment of gender inclusivity and equality is something that I stand for as well and doing the efforts towards it has in some way shaped and formed a sense of growth in all the members as well as the cohort as a whole and this impact makes me super proud. ”
