Industry visit to Akij Food & Beverage Ltd.

The Department of Management recently organized an industry visit on 8th August 2026 to Akij Food & Beverage Ltd. (AFBL) in Dhamrai. A total of 22 students of BBA majoring in Human Resource Management, from Intake: 60 joined the visit along with four faculty members from the department.

The visit started with a warm reception from the AFBL officials, followed by an orientation session on the company and its operations. The students then visited two of the company’s factories and observed how popular beverage products such as Mojo and Frutika are produced. This gave them an opportunity to connect their classroom learning with real-world industrial practices.

An insightful Q&A session followed, where senior officials and four departmental heads including Head of HR, Factory and Head of Admin, shared practical experiences on managing people, workplace challenges, and crises in factory environments. The discussion was particularly valuable as students learned how HR practices and leadership approaches can differ in industrial settings where employees often work in more challenging and potentially hazardous environments than typical corporate offices.

The visit also included a discussion on career and placement opportunities for HRM graduates at AFBL, where the officials expressed positive and encouraging views about potential employment opportunities. Overall, the visit provided students with valuable practical knowledge, industry exposure, and an opportunity to interact and network with experienced professionals.

The Department of Management looks forward to creating more such industry-academia engagement opportunities to help students prepare for their future careers.
