Healthcare has emerged as a niche sector today due to the Covid-19 pandemic and has come to the rescue of humanity. Digital transformations planned to be implemented over the next two years, were deployed within days. The need for skilled workforce and management professionals to guide this enormous change has spiked immensely and it will only continue to grow in the future.
What makes a TAS Officer different from others? Is it just what you can deliver on a daily basis as part of your job or the processes you create to optimize the full potential of your organization? Or there is more to it? Well, TAS believes in creating more than just a career and hence wants you to Settle for More. This is the first article in the series of articles that we would be doing with the TAS Officers who did not choose to settle for less. Today, we have Akshay Ravindran, a people strategy associate at TCS, who hails from a small village in Kerala. Akshay worked hard to crack TISS after multiple failed attempts in SSB. Here are a few excerpts from the conversation we had with Akshay:
CAT is long gone and by now a majority of you might have a little clarity on how you fared in the examination. What lies ahead of you is something that almost all of you would be worried about? Should you go ahead and take NMAT and prep for other B-school tests? Or you should focus your energies on preparing and acing the GD-PIs? To provide you a bit of clarity and help you find your way, we have two current students of SDA Bocconi Asia Center who have secured campus placements at leading companies this year, Nilesh Baid and Persis Bhot who were at a similar crossroads last year.
What does it mean to have a global MBA degree where students from diverse backgrounds come and join? A B-school that focuses on imparting knowledge through industry insights, involving corporate experience for its students to thrive globally. We got in touch with a few of the UBS alumni who are working in different fields across the globe. What was the kind of career path they experienced after passing out from UBS and how the learning from the institute stayed with them in every step that they took in their respective careers? This and a lot more were discussed in this interview with Ruchie Raj, Dr. Swati Gogawat, and Manik Kataria. Here are the excerpts:
Over the past two years, the world of business has demonstrated a resolute will to bring in diversity through transformed talent acquisition practices. The decision is based on the belief that multiple perspectives in problem-solving encourage creativity and significantly improve the end result. Responding to this growing trend, business schools across the country, are looking to create leaders who stand out.
One of the biggest events in any b-school student's life is the summer internship interview process. Your summer interview is something that you spend days preparing for. And yet, it's impossible to predict how an actual interview will go. Because no matter how much you prepare, interviewers can spring a surprise on you. Despite this, there's some merit in learning from past experiences. Which is why, we spoke to students from different b-school who interviewed at different companies to gather a list of interview questions and tips. Whether you're sitting for summer placements or final placements, these questions and tips will prove to be a guide. In this article, Prajwal Kumar, TISS ODCL, Summer Intern at Kotak Life Insurance and 2nd student, shares his interview story.
One of the most preferred careers for students post MBA happens to be working in the finance domain. Whether it be banking, insurance, asset management, trading or more, a large chunk of MBA graduates find themselves at home in the world of finance. But for the longest time, organisations have been facing a problem. Despite recruiting students from top schools, there is a knowledge gap. Basically, while an MBA degree serves to augment a student’s knowledge, there is still a gap in their understanding of the finer points and nuances of each sub domain in the world of finance. To bridge this learning gap and to help focussed students understand finance and its relation to industry better, Goa Institute of Management started the unique PGDM in BIFS or Banking Insurance and Financial Services course. We spoke to Dr. Abhishek Ranga, FCMA, CPA, MBA, PhD (Finance), Associate Professor and Program Chair at GIM to understand the finer points. If you’re a finance enthusiast, looking for a highly specialised study path to help you augment your career and give you clear direction, you must read and find out more!
What would lead to your preferred career path always stays uncertain. For some, it is a clearly charted course, but for majority of students, it is a self-searching path that leads them to what they love. We spoke to one such students, Bitan Banerjee, who after his engineering found his love for HR and never looked back. These are the excerpts of the interview:
