There are many times we face obstacles and are on the verge of giving up. We feel that nothing can help us now and we are destined to fail. However, it is in such times that, if we step up, everything is achievable. Here is a story of someone, who against all odds, cleared one of the toughest exams and got a seat in one of India’s best B-schools – the Indian School of Business.
This is a story of a girl who had the heart & courage to go against the societal norms and her father who had the compassion to support her dreams. Let me take you through my journey. There is a place, Hesla, 45 kilometres away from Ranchi where I was born. I was supposed to go to Madarsa (a place where religious preaching is given) to pursue my education. But here I am today, in SPJIMR, projecting an image of transformation & hope. This is my story.

We all face many disappointments throughout our lives. Perhaps you’re dealing with a disappointment right now. Whether someone you trusted and loved let you down, whether something in your college or office didn’t go right or whether your life isn’t where you want it to be – life just seems to have a way of making things worse when we’re already damned.
IIMs are known to encourage gender diversity and IIM-T is no exception. But let not this statement make you think that this is just another article on gender diversity - this is the tale about a working mother in the hallowed galleries of an IIM.
