Testimony
My journey towards becoming an anchor began right when I was in PIMR. I am highly grateful to PIMR and especially to my course MBA APR, because I got many opportunities to work towards my goal while I was studying. Teachers were very supportive in every aspect during college. My journey from Indore to Delhi has been wonderful. I am thankful and grateful from the bottom of my heart.
