Founder, ASKIIMA
Roy is a successful entrepreneur who founded Marketelligent, a data analytics firm. With over 15 years in his corporate career, he held senior positions at various organisations like Nestle, UB, and FCB Ulka. As a father of two, he has witnessed his children make different choices regarding their education and careers. Roy was inspired to start ASKIIMA after recognizing that even well-educated individuals often make mistakes in educational and career choices, both for themselves and their children, primarily due to a lack of awareness.
An alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad (PGP ‘91) and the College of Engineering, Trivandrum (BTech in Electronics and Communication ‘87), Roy is actively involved in alumni networks. He started IIM Masters, a prestigious Pan IIM Golf tournament, which has become one of the country's most esteemed amateur golf events and alumni gatherings over the past 18 years.
One of the critical success factors for ASKIIMA is the involvement of alumni with diverse experiences from around the globe, who readily engage with users asking the questions. To ensure representation from all institutes and regions, we have alumni ambassadors in various cities to promote communication and outreach among alumni in their respective areas.
The IIMs are one of the finest institutions in India and have produced some extraordinary leaders across the world. Fortunately we have reached a stage where a lot of the alumni have recognised the importance of giving back to the society at large and are in a position to happily contribute their wealth of knowledge and experience to make a positive impact to the society.
