About

Hi, I’m Sahil Agarwal, an MBA student at the Indian School of Business (ISB). I hold a Bachelor's degree from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), where I pursued a diverse curriculum across Computer Science, Mathematics, and Business. This multidisciplinary foundation helped me develop strong analytical and technical skills. Prior to joining ISB, I worked as a Product Manager at Cheerio AI. During my MBA, I interned at Hero MotoCorp and previously gained experience through internships at AlikeAudience, HKUST ITSC, and Musubi Management. Beyond academics, I actively took on leadership roles - serving as Lead Project Coordinator for PathAdvisor, Tech Lead for HKUST GDSC, Project Manager at 180 Degrees Consulting, and Student Ambassador at HKUST. These experiences strengthened my abilities in strategic thinking, collaboration, and community engagement. Outside of work and academics, I enjoy reading and playing sports.
