1 Month At MDI – A Roller Coaster Ride

I joined MDI on 13th June, 18 and one month has passed very quickly. It has truly been a roller coaster ride till now but I can say that it has all been a great learning experience. I have learnt a lot of things in this one month and have made a lot of memories which I will cherish forever. Starting from the first 2 weeks of induction, we were exposed to many corporate sessions where people from diverse fields in corporate sector at different roles guided us on how to best make use of these 2 years, they also shared their experience. Some of them were MDI alums, so they told us about their stay at campus long back and how life has changed thereafter. From all the corporate sessions one advice was common– to make the best use of these 2 years, make connections and not only study but also make memories that we will cherish lifelong because for most of us this will be the last degree of our life so make the best use of this experience.

“Life At MDI: A Roller Coaster Ride”

A girl from a small town, entering from the gate of MDI, stepping into a new phase of life, with mixed emotions, excitement on one side and little panic on the other. Mind full of thoughts, how is life going to be, what kind of people I will meet, what hurdles will come in the way. Here she is, a campus away from the traffic of Gurgaon with its own natural beauty that was going to be home for coming two years.

My Life, My Choice, My MDI

I joined MDI on the 14th of June and standing in the registration line I remember feeling slightly giddy with joy and thinking to myself “I am in MDI”. Seeing the green and red campus and the people around me, hearing the conversations, I remember feeling surrounded by a veil of achievement. That lifted when the director gave his welcome speech. Something he had said stuck in the mind, something I would never forget. He’d said that “I know all of you are feeling elated and accomplished at having coming to MDI but always keep in mind, earning an opportunity is not something worth celebrating, it’s making good on this opportunity that warrants celebration, so let us strive to achieve excellence”. Two weeks in, it felt like a year had passed. The hectic induction week, assignments, tasks and deadlines had left me sleep deprived and tired but somehow content. This was a welcome change to the sedentary lifestyle I had been leading for the past year. Soon classes started, new assignments were there, a karaoke was organized and the sports week was upon us. It had been a month since I had joined this campus and it felt like only a week had passed.

Stocks And Sticks - MDI

Hello, I am Mrugank Mehta, a PGPM candidate from Management Development Institute, Gurgaon. MDI has been one of my dream colleges since I started preparing for the CAT, and being in the college is a surreal experience for me. I have been on the campus for just a little over a month now, but it sure feels a lot longer than that. I have had so many wonderful experiences that it is really hard for me to choose only one to describe. There were amazing displays of team play and also some key learnings from student's council.

MDI - An Enthralling Drive So Far

The journey at MDI has just started but it feels like I was a part of it since forever. It has taught me a lot of things already nonetheless many more stones will be turned soon. The day I had put my foot in this premium institute, it instilled a feeling of pride and excitement in me. That was the moment when I realised that pursuing MBA will be tough yet satisfying at the end of the day.

The Campus That Does Not Sleep - MDI

Journey to the campus of dreams started the day I received my offer letter, it was a mixed feeling of anxiety and euphoria. Packed with dreams, I travelled throughout the length of the country, reaching the place, where I am going to embark on a journey to my future. I still remember my first sight of entering the campus, a lush green abode of learning in the midst of a concrete jungle, away from all the hustle and bustle of the city of Gurgaon. The yellow city (due to the thick sheet of pollution in the sky) turns green inside the campus, and so do the people. I can now proudly say that I am a part of a mini ecosystem that evolves continuously and that ecosystem is none other than my MDI.

MDI Gurgaon – King Of Kings

My best experience at the campus so far has been participating in the King of Kings (KOK) inter-section sports event as a part of the creatives and publicity team – and let me tell you, it was nothing short of a high-profile family drama! Emotions ran high, we cheered our batchmates till our throats were raw and cracked really bad jokes, laughing uncontrollably on them because that’s what happens when one is on two hours of sleep. But the most memorable experience for me was to design our batch t-shirt. The designing process started with a group of people sitting up till 4AM and coming up with a design which was, let’s just say, not very creative for a creatives team. Even though I appreciated the work of my selfless batchmates, as a team, we decided on not going ahead with their idea. Quite obviously, this was not appreciated and I before I knew it, I was sitting in front of Adobe PhotoShop and designing the first thing to go on the t-shirt – the logo – myself. What I didn’t notice was that I forgot to correct the resolution of the previous logo. After putting in 3 hours of coming up with something presentable, I had to trash the logo and work on something else. The t-shirt vendor was tired of hearing our CR’s ‘excuses’ about the delay (of around a day!) in sending the design. But with the help and support of my amazing batch-mates, I was able to push myself and we as a team were able to complete the design and roll it out within a couple of hours! And the appreciation we got for it later from seniors and batchmates from other sections, was the most fulfilling thing I have faced on campus so far. I would completely attribute all this to the environment I’ve been a part of at MDI – rarely do we find an environment to be as encouraging, as constructive and as boosting as the one I have seen here!
