Navya Naveli Nanda joins IIM-Ahmedabad

Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter, Navya Naveli Nanda, on September 2 took to the social media platform, Instagram, to share the news of her joining IIM Ahmedabad’s Blended Post Graduate Programme. “Dreams do come true. The next 2 years… with the best people & faculty! Blended Post Graduate Programme (BPGP) Class of 2026,” she wrote.

In January this year, the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) launched a new two-year online MBA programme. This new course by IIM Ahmedabad is a blended (hybrid) programme combining



on-campus, in-person, and live interactive online sessions.

An IIM-Ahmedabad professor took to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday to comment on the high-profile student and her admission.

“She got solid CV btw (by the way). You don’t necessarily need CAT. Irrespective, hats off to everyone for being courageous enough to sign up for rigorous program. PS: Just like other students, looking forward to her posts cribbing abt hard life at IIM-A,” said Promila Agarwal, an associate professor at IIM-A and an active X user.
