To achieve this, the Consulting Club follows a threefold agenda: Industry Projects – Industry projects are the most important cornerstone of the club’s agenda. The club undertakes consulting projects from business organizations and NGOs, giving the student community of IIM Indore real time exposure to challenges and nuances of the profession. In addition, these projects help students strengthen their problem solving skills and gain industry insights.
