Readers, I want to know from ex-interns/associates about the funds practice at the firm.

Additionally if anyone has an idea if they would be looking to hire from the 2025 batch. If yes, would it be a good idea to approach a partner directly?

Thanks
Good team, neither great nor bad (overhyped by LE at the same time underestimated by the trolls who reply to those comments)

Hiring is a hit or miss here as it's the most sought out practice in the firm.

Interning there is the best chance you have.
ICUL Funds team is like a Tier 1 practice Ina Tier 4 firm, like a Lamborghini in Dharawi. While ICUL is a firm to be avoided. Funds teams is the best. It's like a firm within a firm. Even salaries are far higher.
Any recommendations for getting an internship there?
ICUL is a reasonable Tier 2 firm overall as ticks all the boxes to be there. But yes Funds certainly is a notch higher as a practice area there.
Loooool - there are no Lamborghinis in Dharawi - so more likely a 5th hand Maruti 800 with Lambo hubcaps on the car…
These rankings are bought. No global asset management company works with ICUL. It is Indian fund managers looking to cut corners. No foreign law firm likes working against ICUL because of their incompetence and fish market negotiation tactics. Avoid.
There could logically be another reason - why no one wants to pick up anyone from there. More likely. Much more likely.
Oh Yay - the weekly ICUL-funds-team-is-the-Wachtell-Lipton-of-India weekly post is back. Was getting a bit worried not having seen a single post in a month.
ICUL Funds clearly seem to be on your keyword search everyday. You yourself must be posting stories if no-one else does. True true love.
You worry a lot for ICUL. Stop worrying so much, not good for your health. They will do just fine without your constant worries too. Meditate and do deep breathing, will help.
Heard from my seniors that it's not as good as it used to be.
One is called to office on Saturdays now is what I have heard from my friends, both of whom recently joined.
