The trio won gold medals at IIM Ahmedabad, recognising their outstanding academic performance in the class of 2025.

Bikhchandani's post on X (formerly Twitter) congratulated SSCBS, saying, "Well done, SSCBS. Move over, IIT. Make way for the new kid on the block." He revealed that he was informed about this achievement by a colleague through an internal WhatsApp group. The message read, "All three gold medallists at IIMA in the class of 2025 are from Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies. Quite remarkable."
