Bangalore Tour – Unfiltered Student Reviews on meeting Titan CFO, Cisco President & 13 C-suite Executives!

Before we move on to how actually it’s executed, let us walk you through the major components that sums up Industry Exposure – at all the levels. Here are the top 7 measurable categories.

• On-campus access to senior decision makers of top companies. (Not the middle management, a 1-1 with C-Suite Executives).
• Multiple industry visits across multiple sectors (real time offline events).
• Speaker series & conclaves with people who have authority on experiences (not just celebrities).
• Intellectual content in sessions, in sync with real business thinking.
• Training & Placement Cell – Placement exposure into real-time career possibilities.
• PIERC – Entrepreneurship support for the student founders who want to build from scratch, the entire process covers incubation, funding and end-to-end mentorship.
• Real experiences on LinkedIn & Quora

Raw & Real Emotions of Placement Day 2026 – Parul University!

The most distinctive form of industry exposure is direct, in-person access to C-suite executives of real companies. Most Indian universities do not provide this consistently. The Parul University Business Leadership Programme in Bangalore (7 to 10 October 2025) is the clearest recent example:

• 9 students sponsored on 100 percent scholarship, as selected on merit basis from a pool of large applicants.
• 12 companies visited in four days.
• 13 C-Suite Executives met Parul University’s students, including CFO, Chief Product Officers, Chief People Officers, Presidents, Co-founders, Executive VPs, Managing Directors, & CEOs.
• Here are the name of those executives – Mr. Ashok Sonthalia – CFO Titan, Ms. Daisy Chittilapilly – President Cisco India, Mr. Avinash Avula – Country President of Applied Materials India, Mr. Viren Shetty – Executive Vice Chairperson of Narayana Health, Mr. Rishikesh SR – Cofounder Rapido, Mr. Navin Bishnoi – Country Head of Marvell Technology, Mr. Ankit Rastogi – CPO of Angel One, Mrs. Sudha Sankaran – MD of Alstom Global Finance Centres, Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Singh – COO Ather Energy, Mr. Subramanian Kumar – Senior Director of Zepto, Mr. Sateesh – Chief People Office, Acko, Mr. Ashish Bajaj – Group Chief Marketing Officer of Narayana Health, Mr. Seenivasan – CEO IAMPL, and plus an exclusive sessio with Mr. Atul Ujagar – former MD of Nike Sourcing India.
• Companies are spanning from semiconductor, financial services, mobility, quick commerce, healthcare, rail, insurance, networking and aerospace manufacturing. If you’re inspired already, then delay not and explore programmes after 12th from Parul University.

Bangalore Leadership Tour – Eudaimonia, First & Palm Tree Principles, 5Ps!

Direct C-suite access at a single event is valuable but could be dismissed as a one-off. The stronger signal is whether the university runs industry exposure as a sustained programme across years and faculties. Parul University’s Practical Learning Tours provide the evidence:

• 146 tours conducted
• 19 cities across India
• 280 companies covered
• Featured companies include Tata Group, Microsoft, Google, Larsen and Toubro, Reliance, the National Stock Exchange, the Indian Space Research Organisation, Parliament of India, Jio Star, Aditya Birla Capital, Jindal Foundation, Taj Rambagh Palace (Jaipur), and Myntra.

This scale of industry exposure is unusual for an Indian university. Most institutions run a handful of industry visits per academic year, often concentrated in business and engineering faculties.

Parul University’s Practical Learning Tours are distributed across faculties and programmes, meaning a student in Design, Commerce, Hospitality, or Pharmacy gets industry exposure comparable to a student in Engineering or Management. For parents considering Parul University for a child in a non-traditional discipline, this matters: the university treats industry exposure as a cross-faculty priority, not a benefit reserved for certain programmes.

Title – PU Students Meet the Top 3 Tech Leaders of India!

Classroom teaching and industry visits can be supplemented by speaker sessions on campus. Parul University’s PU Talks series has hosted more than 150 speakers. The calibre of speakers matters more than the number. The list includes:

• Hon’ble D.Y. Chandrachud, former Chief Justice of India
• R. Venkataramani, Attorney General for India
• Mithali Raj, former Indian cricketer
• Ashneer Grover, former Co-founder of BharatPe and former Shark on Shark Tank India Season 1
• Ranveer Brar, celebrity chef and MasterChef India judge
• Mukesh Jain, Chief Technology Officer at Capgemini
• Ankur Warikoo, entrepreneur, educator, and author
• Vijay Bhatkar, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri awardee, architect of India’s National Initiative in Supercomputing
• Sonal Mansingh, Padma Vibhushan and Padma Bhushan awardee, Member of Rajya Sabha
• Rajdeep Sardesai, consulting editor and news anchor
• Gaurav Taneja, entrepreneur and content creator
• Deepa Malik, Paralympic medallist
• P.V. Ramana Murthy, Chief Human Resources Officer at Hindustan Coca-Cola Beverages
• If you too wish to get direct access to such executives and want to learn from the best, explore and pursue courses after 12th, right at Parul University.

The Leadership Conclaves have additionally featured the former Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Pande, the current Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K. Tripathi, the former Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation Mr. S. Somanath, Dr. Shashi Tharoor, Ms. Kiran Bedi, Mr. Joseph Muscat (former Prime Minister of Malta), Mr. Ajay Piramal (Chairman of the Piramal Group), Ms. Guneet Monga Kapoor (Academy Award-winning film producer), and Mr. Bhaichung Bhutia.

The distinctive Parul University feature, however, is Mr. Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the Parul University brand ambassador. Unlike most celebrity brand ambassadors who lend their name without engagement, Mr. Dhoni has appeared at Parul University in person, directly connecting with students.

A specific test of whether industry exposure sessions are substantive or ceremonial is whether senior executives recommend specific books to the students they meet. Ceremonial sessions produce photographs and polite thank-yous. Substantive sessions produce reading lists, because senior executives who are actually engaging with students want to give them something to do after the session ends. Eight books were recommended or discussed during the Parul University Bangalore programme of October 2025. Here are they –

Book 1: The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

This exclusive book was recommended by Mr. Ankit Rastogi. He is the Chief Product Officer of Angel One company. This book argues that doing well with money has little to do with intelligence or mathematical ability & much more to do with behaviour, patience, and a realistic understanding opf how people in general can make financial decisions under uncertainty.

It is a structured as 19 short essays, each illustrating a specific psychological principle with classic examples. It fits the angel one session because it serves retail chain and investors wherein the gap between financial theory and actual behaviour is one such central challenges in business. If you’re someone who wants to build a career in tax, financial, business decisions, then enrol into Parul University’s BBA in Financial Management and say yes to your dream company!

Book 2 & 3 – The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene & 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell

This book was compared by Mr. Atul Ujagar. He is the former Managing Director of Nike Sourcing India with 28 years of experience. He simply did not recommended any book or dismissed the others, he asked students to understand both philosophies. 48 Laws of Power describes how power actually works via manipulation, deception, strategic self-interest.

Beyond this, the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership is executed via values, trust, inspiration, and ethical influence. Power is not the same as leadership, manipulative leadership looks good in short time, in short-term it destroys time and once trust is gone, leader has nothing left. If you too wish to manage people and master leadership globally, enrol into MBA in HR Leadership from Parul University!

Book 4: The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz

Recommended by Mr. Rishikesh SR, Co-founder of Rapido. The book is a founder-to-founder account of the stressful, often impossible decisions that startup Chief Executive Officers face during crises. It aligns with Mr. Rishikesh SR’s observation that over 90 percent of Indian startups fail within the first five years and that building a company is 10 years of effort for 2 years of recognition.

Rapido itself took three years of deliberate operational changes to reach profitability, the kind of slow, grinding progress that Ben Horowitz describes in detail.

Book 5: Lion Taming

Lion Taming – This book was recommended by Mr. Subramanian Kumar, Senior Director and Head of People Operations at Zepto. The book uses the metaphor of a circus lion tamer to describe the work of managing powerful, unpredictable, and sometimes dangerous personalities in an organisational setting.

It fits the Zepto session because Zepto manages more than 35,000 workers across gig workers, corporate employees, warehouse staff, and delivery partners, requiring the kind of patience-first, boundary-respecting management style the book describes. If you’re passionate about HR & Operations, then enrol into Parul University’s MBA in Operations Management program.

Book 6: Harvard Business Review Papers

Harvard Business Review Papers were recommended by Mr. Viren Shetty, Executive Vice Chairperson of Narayana Health. Harvard Business Review is one of the most rigorous and widely read sources of management thinking.

For students who want to build their business understanding incrementally rather than through long-form reading, HBR is an ideal companion because it provides bite-sized exposure to current thinking across every major management domain. Narayana Health has itself been the subject of multiple Harvard Business School case studies on its affordable healthcare model founded by Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty. Beyond this, you can master how to take wiser business decisions at all the levels by enrolling in Parul University’s MBA program.

Books 7 and 8: Tata Group Case Studies and Semiconductor Industry Primers (Implicit)

Mr. Ashok Sonthalia, Chief Financial Officer of Titan Company Limited, did not recommend a single book, but his detailed walkthrough of the Tata Chemicals covenant crisis of 2008 to 2009 functions as a case study in itself.

The Tata Group case studies from Harvard Business School and the Indian Institutes of Management are publicly available. Similarly, Mr. Avinash Avula of Applied Materials India and Mr. Navin Bishnoi of Marvell Technology India both introduced students to semiconductor industry economics in significant depth, and the technical content they covered maps directly to semiconductor industry primers used in engineering and technology management programmes.

Why this matters: when a Chief Financial Officer, a Co-founder, a Chief Product Officer, an Executive Vice Chairperson, and a Senior Director each recommend specific books to students with specific reasoning, the sessions were not ceremonial. The executives were treating the students as potential future professionals whose development was worth their time. This is direct evidence of substantive intellectual exposure. So if you too wish to work for your dream company, say yes to management programs of Parul University to tune your dreams into reality!

The ultimate test of industry exposure is whether it translates into actual career opportunities. Parul University’s placement data is specific and verifiable:

• 3,500 plus offers in a single placement season (the largest single-season figure in Gujarat)
• 2,200 plus recruiters across faculties
• 60 lakh per annum as the highest package, awarded to Tanish Patel and Mr. Suraj Jagtap (both B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering, 2027 batch) at Microsoft
• 45 lakh per annum at ServiceNow, awarded to Pranshu Kumar (B.Tech Computer Science student) through on-campus placements
• 45 lakh per annum at a US-based multinational company
• Placements at Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and ICICI Lombard
• Selection as officers in the Indian Navy
• Awarded Best University in Placements by ASSOCHAM for three consecutive years

The highest package figures are particularly important because they are often dismissed as exceptional or non-representative. In Parul University’s case, they are named students at named companies in verifiable batches. Mr. Tanish Patel and Mr. Suraj Jagtap at Microsoft are not hypothetical students; they are specific people whose placement has been publicly documented. Mr. Pranshu Kumar’s 45 lakh per annum internship at ServiceNow is similarly documented and verifiable. For parents who want to cross-check claims before making a decision, the specific names and packages are the evidence.

Tanish Patel – 7.04 CGPA to 60 LPA at Microsoft

Top tier 1 recruiters featured include Microsoft, Amazon, IBM, and Google. Other leading recruiters offering substantial placements include Adani Group, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, UltraTech Cement, RR Kabel, SAP, Zydus Lifesciences, Tata Consultancy Services, Sun Pharma, Alembic Pharmaceuticals, IndiGo Airlines, Reliance Industries, Nestle, Odoo, Welspun, Livspace, and Airtel.

Parul University Placements – Felicitated by M.S. Dhoni

Not every student wants a job at a big company. Some want to build their own. Parul University’s Parul Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research Centre (PIERC) provides the infrastructure:

• 254 startups incubated and supported
• Rs 20 crore plus in funding provided to startups
• Rs 40 crore plus in revenue generated by PU startups
• Startup Studios operating in four cities: Vadodara, Surat, Ahmedabad, and Rajkot
• Government-recognised Idea Lab and Incubation Centre
• Vadodara Startup Festival: an annual gathering of emerging startups, entrepreneurs, investors, and venture capitalists

Notable PIERC Startup Success Stories

• Solnce Energy (Founders: Mr. Yash Tarwadi and Mr. Chintan Shah): clean-energy technology startup; secured Rs 1 crore investment on Shark Tank India Season 4, backed by Mr. Aman Gupta of boAt
• Voldebug Innovations (Founders: Mr. Meet Bisht, Ms. Monika Chand, Mr. Rohit Ganaka): cybersecurity company; awarded Outstanding Performance Award by the Hon’ble Home Minister of India for its Security Information System software
• Cligent Aerospace (Founders: Harsh Joshi and Mr. Vivek Dhut): India’s first hydrogen-electric aircraft startup; building 9-seater Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) aircraft
• Dori Handcrafts (Founder: Mr. Tushar Ahir): sustainable lifestyle brand modernising traditional macramé; showcased at the Republic Plenary Meet before the Hon’ble Prime Minister
• Yield Pro Earth (Founders: Mr. Ram Mehta and Mr. Sameer Mehta): electricity-free irrigation solutions for smallholder farmers; secured Rs 75 lakh plus purchase order from the ICICI Foundation

The PIERC ecosystem is the practical expression of Parul University’s approach to placements as more than just job-matching. The university’s mission goes beyond securing dream placements: it aims to build a business-ready mindset that empowers students to carve their own path and scale at their own pace. PIERC is the infrastructure that supports this mission for students who want to build rather than join. For parents worried about whether their child will have options beyond traditional employment, PIERC is the answer.

Parul University’s Startups on Shark Tank India

The final and perhaps most important dimension is whether real students document their real experiences publicly. Promotional claims from a university can be dismissed as marketing. Student LinkedIn posts written in the students’ own voices and published on their own profiles cannot be dismissed as marketing.

The nine students who attended the Bangalore industry programme wrote extensive public LinkedIn posts documenting their sessions. Their LinkedIn profiles are publicly accessible and searchable by name:

• Prashwet Khobragade (hospitality background, documented most sessions in separate detailed posts)
• Bhoomika Dharmesh Masrani (directly questioned Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Singh of Ather Energy on EV battery sustainability)
• Vikash Mishra (most systematic structured takeaways across the programme)
• Aisha Nagina (day-by-day reflections)
• Indrani Sahoo (Cisco, Zepto, Narayana Health coverage)
• Kangkana DasBaruah (most detailed Cisco coverage with senior woman leader angle)
• Richu Reji Issac (comprehensive programme summary format, plus Quora answers)
• Kripa Patel (structured numbered takeaways)

Several students also wrote Quora answers addressing questions that prospective students and parents commonly ask about Parul University. Any parent who wants to verify claims can search for these students directly on LinkedIn and read their posts without going through any Parul University website.

Parul University Sponsors 9 Students for 4-Day Industry Programme

Will my child actually meet senior business leaders at Parul University?

Yes, and the Bangalore Business Leadership Programme of October 2025 is specific, dated evidence. Nine students met thirteen C-suite executives including the Chief Financial Officer of Titan, the President of Cisco India and SAARC, the Country President of Applied Materials India, and the Executive Vice Chairperson of Narayana Health. Parul University sponsored the entire programme on 100 percent scholarship. The programme is one of many: the broader ecosystem includes 146 Practical Learning Tours across 19 cities covering 280 companies, more than 150 PU Talks speakers, and Leadership Conclaves featuring the former Chief of Army Staff, the current Chief of Naval Staff, and the former Chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation.

What is the highest placement package at Parul University and is it representative?

The highest package is 60 lakh per annum at Microsoft, awarded to Mr. Tanish Patel and Mr. Suraj Jagtap (both B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering, 2027 batch). The 45 lakh per annum at ServiceNow was awarded to Mr. Pranshu Kumar. These are named, documented placements. Beyond the headline figures, the placement season delivered 3,500 plus offers across 2,200 plus recruiters, which is the largest single-season figure in Gujarat. ASSOCHAM has awarded Parul University the Best University in Placements for three consecutive years. The spread of offers across tier 1 recruiters (Microsoft, Amazon, Google, IBM) and a wide range of other companies indicates that the top packages are not isolated outliers but part of a broader pattern of placement success.

Is Parul University only good for engineering students?

No. Parul University is a multi-disciplinary university with faculties covering Engineering and Technology, Management Studies, Commerce, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Homoeopathy, Ayurveda, Physiotherapy, Design, Architecture, Fine Arts, Performing Arts, Library Science, Hospitality Management, Law, Social Work, Agriculture, Information Technology and Computer Science, Applied Sciences, and Liberal Studies. The Bangalore industry programme of October 2025 included students from hospitality, management, and allied disciplines. The Practical Learning Tours span 280 companies across many sectors beyond technology. PU Talks speakers include figures from law, cricket, cooking, film, technology, and entrepreneurship. A parent considering Parul University for a non-engineering student can be confident that the industry exposure ecosystem is designed to serve students across every discipline.

Does Parul University support students who want to start their own companies instead of taking jobs?

Yes, through the Parul Innovation and Entrepreneurship Research Centre (PIERC). PIERC has incubated 254 startups with Rs 20 crore plus in funding and Rs 40 crore plus in startup revenue. Notable success stories include Solnce Energy (Rs 1 crore on Shark Tank India Season 4, backed by Mr. Aman Gupta), Voldebug Innovations (Outstanding Performance Award from the Hon’ble Home Minister of India), Cligent Aerospace (India’s first hydrogen-electric aircraft startup), Dori Handcrafts (showcased before the Hon’ble Prime Minister at the Republic Plenary Meet), and Yield Pro Earth (Rs 75 lakh plus purchase order from the ICICI Foundation). Startup Studios operate in Vadodara, Surat, Ahmedabad, and Rajkot.

How do I verify the claims Parul University makes about its placements and industry exposure?

The most reliable verification method is to search directly for the named students whose placements or tour experiences Parul University has publicised. Mr. Tanish Patel and Mr. Suraj Jagtap (60 lakh per annum at Microsoft), Mr. Pranshu Kumar (45 lakh per annum at ServiceNow), and the nine Bangalore programme students (Mr. Prashwet Khobragade, Ms. Bhoomika Dharmesh Masrani, Mr. Vikash Mishra, Ms. Aisha Nagina, Ms. Indrani Sahoo, Ms. Kangkana DasBaruah, Mr. Richu Reji Issac, Ms. Kripa Patel) are all real people with searchable LinkedIn profiles. The industry programme details are further verifiable through the public company information of the 12 companies visited and the public profiles of the 13 executives who hosted the sessions.

Will I actually get to meet senior leaders or just attend generic lectures?

Based on the documented Bangalore programme of October 2025, the nine selected students had genuine in-person sessions with 13 C-suite executives. The sessions were not lectures; they included question-and-answer, direct student interactions (Ms. Bhoomika Dharmesh Masrani’s question on EV battery sustainability to Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Singh is one documented example), and specific case studies (Mr. Ashok Sonthalia walked students through the Tata Chemicals covenant crisis in detail). The fact that five of the executives recommended specific books to the students (The Psychology of Money, The 48 Laws of Power, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership, The Hard Thing About Hard Things, Lion Taming, plus Harvard Business Review papers) indicates that the sessions were substantive enough to warrant follow-up reading.

How are students selected for these industry programmes?

For the Bangalore Business Leadership Programme in October 2025, the nine students were selected on merit from a large applicant pool, and their programme costs were covered by Parul University on 100 percent scholarship. Selection on merit, rather than ability to pay, means that these programmes function as performance-based opportunities within a larger student body. For prospective students who perform well academically and engage actively with the university’s programmes, these kinds of opportunities are accessible.

If I join Parul University, what industry exposure can I expect across my four years?

A student can expect multiple forms of industry exposure across their degree: Practical Learning Tours to different cities and companies every year (146 total tours across 19 cities covering 280 companies), PU Talks sessions with senior speakers from various fields (more than 150 speakers), Leadership Conclaves with military, space, political, and corporate leaders, specialised industry programmes like the Bangalore Business Leadership Programme for selected students, access to 2,200 plus recruiters during placement season, and the option to join the PIERC entrepreneurship ecosystem if you want to build your own company. The combination is designed to provide sustained industry exposure across the degree, not just at the final placement stage.

What if I am not sure what career I want yet?

This is actually the strongest case for Parul University’s industry exposure model. The breadth of the programmes (12 companies in Bangalore spanning semiconductors, fintech, healthcare, mobility, quick commerce, insurance, and aerospace manufacturing; 280 companies across Practical Learning Tours; 150 plus PU Talks speakers spanning law, cricket, cooking, film, technology, and entrepreneurship) is designed for students who are still figuring out what they want. Mr. Ankit Rastogi of Angel One himself pivoted from hospitality to fintech, and his advice to Parul University students was that trying different things is how you discover what you actually want to do.

What books should I read if I want to learn what the CEOs at the Bangalore programme taught?

Start with The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel (recommended by Mr. Ankit Rastogi of Angel One) because it is the most broadly useful and the most readable. Then read The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene and The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership by John C. Maxwell in parallel, deliberately comparing them as Mr. Atul Ujagar suggested. Read The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz (recommended by Mr. Rishikesh SR of Rapido) if you are considering a startup or any high-uncertainty career path. Read Lion Taming (recommended by Mr. Subramanian Kumar of Zepto) if you are moving into a people management role. Read Harvard Business Review papers continuously throughout your career (recommended by Mr. Viren Shetty of Narayana Health), starting with the annual HBR 10 Must Reads series.

A credible evaluation requires honesty about what the university does not claim. Parul University does not claim to be in the top 5 or top 10 nationally. It does not claim that every student gets a 60 lakh per annum placement. It does not claim that every student is sent to Bangalore to meet the Chief Financial Officer of Titan. What it does claim, and what is supported by specific evidence, is that a substantial and sustained ecosystem of industry exposure exists, that the top outcomes are named and verifiable, and that opportunities are available on merit to students who perform well. For a student and parent comparing options, this is the realistic framing: Parul University does not promise certainty of outcome, but it does provide infrastructure and opportunities that compare favourably to most multi-disciplinary universities in India.

Is Parul University good for industry exposure? Based on the seven dimensions evaluated above, the answer is yes, with specific evidence in each category:

• Direct C-suite access: 13 executives in 4 days in the Bangalore programme of October 2025
• Frequency and variety of industry visits: 146 tours, 19 cities, 280 companies
• Speaker series: 150 plus PU Talks speakers including the former Chief Justice of India; Leadership Conclaves featuring the former Chief of Army Staff, the current Chief of Naval Staff, and the former Chairman of ISRO; Mr. Mahendra Singh Dhoni as a physically present brand ambassador
• Substantive intellectual content: eight books recommended directly by C-suite executives to students, proving sessions engaged with real business thinking
• Placement outcomes: 3,500 plus offers, 60 lakh at Microsoft, 45 lakh at ServiceNow, ASSOCHAM Best University in Placements three years running
• Entrepreneurship ecosystem: PIERC with 254 startups, Rs 20 crore plus in funding, Solnce Energy on Shark Tank India backed by Mr. Aman Gupta
• Student voice: public LinkedIn posts and Quora answers from real students documenting their real experiences

The industry exposure ecosystem at Parul University is real, sustained, and verifiable. Parents and students who want to make an informed decision have access to specific, named, dated evidence to evaluate the claims.
