Foreign firms hunt talent at IIM Calcutta as never before
Arup Chanda in Calcutta
Catch them young. That is the motto of the top multinationals scouting for talent at the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta. Among the recruiters this year, 51 per cent were multinationals. And the packages they offered even stunned the graduates.
Says Sumit Chaudhuri, who crossed his teens just three years ago, "I had an offer from the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation with a posting in India. But when the offer from Deutsche Bank with a posting in London came I accepted it immediately."
So, what is your package? That, Sumit, an economics honours graduate from St Stephen's college, Delhi, and a major in finance at the IIM-C, will not disclose.
"My contract says I cannot disclose my pay."
On insistence he says that it is something between $ 55,000 to $ 75,000. Which is high even by US and European standards.
Along with the Deutsche Bank, the other major giants which preyed for talent this year were the Mitchell Madison Group, i2 Technologies, Deloitte and Touche Consulting Group LLC, McKinsey & Company, Arthur Anderson and The Boston Consulting Group.
