Why and how I chose IIM Trichy?
During my two years tenure as a purchase executive, I had the opportunity to exercise and improve my people management, negotiating and costing skills. I developed a keen interest in management and wanted to have a full-fledged career in management. I decided to take a decision to follow my dream. I quit my job to pursue a post-graduation course in management as a foundation for a career in management. The management course is a critical investment in terms of both the cost and the time spent. I wanted to make a profitable investment. I had to ensure that the choice was most appropriate for the time and effort that would be spent and I was also looking to develop my personality holistically. So I chose IIM Tiruchirappalli.
