The alumni session with our alumni from India and Singapore and our students started virtually on 17th September at 6 p.m.
The alumni guests emphasised on consumer behaviour for finance products such as Insurance, Loans and Banking. They shared their views on trends in sales, consumer behaviour, and pricing.
