Every year, an HHL – Leipzig Graduate School of Management graduate receives an award for Best Foreign Student. Yatin Mulky (25) from India was recently awarded this year’s DAAD Prize, which comes with a monetary prize of Euro 1,000, in the presence of the Indian Ambassador, Sudhir Vyas, during the graduation ceremony in Leipzig.

Only 200 out of approximately 200,000 foreign students in Germany have received this award this year. It is presented to students from abroad who are enrolled at a German university and demonstrate an excellent superior performance.

Since the fall of 2010, Yatin Mulky, from Mumbai, has been enrolled in the Master Program in General Management (MBA) at the oldest business school in German-speaking countries, HHL – Leipzig Graduate School of Management. In addition to excellent academic performance, Mulky showed great commitment during extracurricular activities as a project manager for the European Ivy League, a soccer tournament between European business schools, organised by HHL students, or during The Negotiation Challenge (TNC), an international negotiation competition organized by HHL.

Yatin Mulky has a Bachelor's degree in Pharmaceutics. He shows great entrepreneurial interest in the field of healthcare management after working at large-scale international pharmaceutical companies as well as the Nadathur S Raghavan Center for Entrepreneurial Learning at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Bangalore. Mulky, who already learned German in India and improved his skills here, very consciously chose HHL due to its focus on entrepreneurship. After completing his MBA course, Mulky would like to work in Germany for the time being.
