Most people look at a highly competitive market and see saturation. Amol Goel looked at it and saw a massive, unsolved puzzle. When Amol Goel (an IIT and IIM alumnus) analyzed the Indian premium menswear market, he noticed a glaring gap. As a professional, you either had to pay a fortune for global luxury brands, or you had to settle for mediocre quality. There was no middle ground. So, he left a thriving career in corporate finance to build one. To bridge this exact gap, he founded LOUIS STITCH. Launched with a vision to democratize luxury, Amol built a D2C powerhouse that brings world-class Italian leather craftsmanship and European aesthetics to Indian professionals at accessible prices. Today, the brand has scaled massively across both men's and women's fashion, driven by an obsession with customer feedback and smart, disruptive pricing. For us at the Finance And Consulting Club, IIT Hyderabad Amol’s journey is more than just an inspiring founder story—it is a live masterclass in spotting market inefficiencies, executing a flawless D2C strategy, and scaling a business from the ground up. We are incredibly inspired by his vision and proud to have Louis Stitch on board this tenure! #Entrepreneurship #FounderSpotlight #D2C #BusinessStrategy #FinanceToFounder #LouisStitch #FCC #IITHyderabad #Consulting #Leadership #AmolGoel #IITH #FinanceAndConsulting

We’re excited to launch BYOP (Build Your Own Product) - an intensive, hands-on product-building sprint by the Finance and Consulting Club, IIT Hyderabad. In collaboration with The Product Folks, BYOP is designed to bridge a critical gap: while technical skills are widespread, the ability to think, build, and strategize like a product leader is what truly sets candidates apart. This initiative enables participants to start with just an idea and transform it into a functional, AI-powered MVP, all within a high-intensity three-hour sprint. Participants will:  • Think like Product Managers  • Rapidly prototype using AI tools  • Define clear user positioning  • Build actionable go-to-market strategies We’re delighted to have Jyotbir Lamba (Product Manager, Kotak Securities) guiding this journey, bringing rich experience from product, finance, and engagements across top IITs and IIMs. A special thanks to Goutham Rajesh and Yasiruddin Mohamed from The Product Folks for making this collaboration seamless. A lot of thought and effort has gone into designing BYOP, and we’re excited to see the innovative ideas that emerge from this sprint.

The Finance And Consulting Club, IIT Hyderabad, had the opportunity to host CNBC-Awaaz UDAAN, presented by UTI Mutual Fund, on our campus — and it turned out to be much more than just a speaker session. What stood out most was how real and honest the conversations were. Priyanka Chigurupati, Executive Director at Granules India Limited, spoke about embracing discomfort, learning continuously, and how entering an industry as an “outsider” can actually become a strength. Her journey reminded us that leadership is less about knowing everything and more about being willing to learn and take responsibility. Jinu Jose from UTI Mutual Fund highlighted the importance of starting early when it comes to investing, staying disciplined, and letting time and compounding do the heavy lifting. A simple but powerful reminder that financial decisions made today shape the freedom we have tomorrow. The session was further enriched by insights from Tarun Mor (CoKarma), Chiran (Chiranjeevi Phanindra B, PhD) (Cosmoserve Space), and Vihari Kanukollu (UrbanKissan), who spoke candidly about resilience, consistency, and navigating the uncertainty that comes with being in your early 20s. The event concluded with Lopamudra Giri, Associate Professor at IIT Hyderabad, sharing how sometimes passion matters more than money, and why staying true to what excites you can shape a more meaningful career. We’re grateful to CNBC_Awaaz and UTI Mutual Fund for bringing UDAAN to IIT Hyderabad, and to all the speakers for sharing lessons that will stay with us long after the session ended. Here’s to learning that goes beyond classrooms and into real life. #CNBCAwaazUdaan #FCC_IITH #IITHyderabad #Leadership #Finance #Entrepreneurship #StudentCommunity
