Prof Bielli advises the students on 3 fronts. For their professional life, the students should pick up a job offer with the highest learning potential at the beginning of their career. They should have challenging projects, have smart people around and be in a relevant company. The second advice is for their personal life – which is to balance work and life in a better way than people of her generation did. Her final advice is with regards to their social life. She says that India is a fascinating country but there is a lot to be done to cover some of the gaps.
Abhimanyu Deshpande, an MISB alumnus and a PwC management consultant says be exploratory, challenge the limits and always try and network with people where you want to work. He says due to MISB’s global program where he was in Milan for 4 months he was able to interact with various types of people and understand them and their culture better. Hence, networking is important.

Smriti Misra says that there is an ocean of knowledge at MISB, so try and learn as much as you can and work hard for it. She also says that trivial things will be noticed by someone inexperienced and not by experienced people which makes a lot of difference so be bold.

Sreehari Shete says that MISB is a lovely place to be with lovely faculty and one must make the best use of it. Smriti Misra says that you may get a lot of knowledge but don’t ignore people as you will need to get the work done from them.
