We were delighted to hear in May that Tarun had received a job offer from Nomura Holdings, Inc, where he had spent his placement year. Tarun has now started as an Analyst in the Asia Ex-Japan Senior Relationship Management team, working in the Mumbai office. Tarun wrote to us saying:

"Thank you very much for the support throughout the past four years, without which this would not have been possible. The Year in Business was a clear bonus and astonishingly one of my interview questions was something I wrote an essay on this year."
