We are back with another episode of Konversations Cafe Online and today we have with us Anujan Krishnamoorthy who presently heads the Strategy & Affinity Insurance division in the Aditya Birla Health Insurance Company. He decided to do an international MBA from IE Business School, and just when he thought he would shift to a new role and life altogether, he was hit by a health hiccup. In this video, he talks about how his life took a turn, how ABG happened to him, and what has it been to work in the insurance industry.
Continuing his talk, Praveen tells us about how he first discovered Product Management. He took up the role at a time where even the company that hired him wasn’t sure what Product Management was. The company in question is Myntra, and what followed was a very interesting career journey. Finishing his MBA from IIM Bangalore, Praveen moved on to Myntra, where he truly began to understand what Product Management is and how one can navigate their career in this field. From Myntra, Praveen moved to InMobi, India’s first Unicorn company.
Imagine being so used to failing the CAT that you reach late for your CAT exam, and are perfectly okay with walking away. Imagine getting a single call after your CAT, and that single call being IIM Bangalore. Well, all this is absolutely true in the case of Praveen Gopal Krishnan. Watch this video to hear his unique, interesting, and (in many ways) strange MBA story.
In this episode of Konversations Cafe Online, we have Saniya Malim from Aditya Birla Group. A TISS Mumbai graduate, Saniya joined ABG after campus placement. She got hold of the business while working on different projects in diverse domains within ABG in her first year training period. She then was posted for her mandatory factory stint with Hindalco. A life-changing experience that it was, Saniya talks about her journey within ABG, the responsibilities she has got early in her life with the conglomerate, and the fulfilling experience she had working in the HR department.
Tanuj Ruia wrote the CAT in 2017 and scored 97.7%ile. But he was not satisfied. He wanted to get a call from one of the legacy IIMs. Which is why he attempted the CAT once again in 2019. A CA with AIR 15 in the CA Finals, Tanuj is no stranger to excellence. CAT 2019 saw him score 99.69%ile. After having converted a call from IIM Bangalore, Tanuj has a lot of insights, tricks and pointers for CAT takers. Pursuing an articleship and preparing for CAT simultaneously, Tanuj’s experience shows his dedication and focus, but also his ability to make smart decisions, even during CAT itself. If you’re planning to write CAT 2020, this is a video you must watch.
In this new segment, we bring to you five of the latest updates from the world of management education and business. From admissions results and b-school announcements to the impact of Coronavirus on jobs and businesses, take a look at five updates from the past week.
