Tangkhul boy gets 67 lakhs per year offer in Singapore
Ukhrul: A 22 year old Tangkhul boy, Thanpam Kasomhung, student of Indian Institute of Management, Ranchi (IIM-R) has bagged a 67 lakh per annum placement at Tolaram Group, a Singaporean business enterprise in a campus placement. While the placement process is still going on, his offer is the highest in the campus so far.
"I feel as if I am still in dreams. The feeling has yet to sink in. My interview was also like a dream. I don't know how I did it, although I studied really hard, as a fresher it was my first time. The interview was over with a lot of laughter. I think it's my luck. But I am really happy for this opportunity", said the excited youngster when we spoke to him on phone.
Hailing from Hungpung, Ukhrul district of Manipur, Thanpam Kasomhung lost his parents, Lt. Stone Kasomhung and Lt. Maireila Kasomhung when he was still very young. He finished his 10th and 12th standard from Sacred Heart Higher Secondary School, Hungpung and his Graduation from Mangalore. Afterwards, he said, he tried his luck in CAT, of course with a lot of hard work, and got into IIM-R.
Thanpam Kasomhung may said luck favored him but in actuality he was said to be an excellent student as stated by his former school Principal, Fr. TS Dominic who informed us that the School had also awarded him with free tuition fee for his proficiency.
He is currently pursuing an MBA with a major in Marketing. His course will complete in March and will report for work in May, 2023. He said as per the short briefing, he will be flown to the corporate office of Lagos, Nigeria in May for on ground management training and study consumer behavior for one year. Once the training is completed, he will come back to Singapore Corporate office in the role of a brand manager.
He is particularly happy that he was able to get the sought after international placement in the campus. While companies like Google, Microsoft etc are also present, they are domestic recruitment. Tolaram Group is a strategic campus placement partner for IIM (R), however they stopped recruiting after 2018, due to the onslaught of Covid 19. They resumed their placement this year.
