What Makes IIM Ahmedabad Special

IIM Ahmedabad has a rich legacy, being conceived by eminent scientist Vikram Sarabhai as an institute of excellence. It is important to understand where the Institute comes from, where its ethos lies and why it does deserve the status it gets. People here, and people associated with the institute work tirelessly to ensure that the envisioned level of excellence is maintained. And hence, like a true B-School student, I think what makes IIM Ahmedabad special are the 4P's : People, People, People and yes, People.

The Year That Was - The Year That Taught Me That Cliches Exist For A Reason - By Anu Kutty

The year that was I remember eagerly looking forward to and waiting for 2016 to begin. The year of mammoth changes it was going to be. Some invited, others uninvited, 2016 brought in too many changes anyway. Little did I know that life would be changing gears at a very trippy pace. And that no amount of preparedness was going to help. Got suited up to get to a new place. With open arms, got sucked into this rat race. Filled with hollow-eyed humans chasing deadlines, I still found a teacher in some friends And a friend in some teachers.

2017s Anthem For Entrepreneurs: Why The Title Song Of Dangal Makes The Cut

While 2016 becomes “The year that was”, 2017 will definitely bring new challenges for the entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship aka Start-Up ecosystem in India. Living in a VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) world, our entrepreneurs aka startup guys need to be ready for eventualities and challenges as they come. Still, in the way that all materialistic things could be lost, the capital may be wiped out, the machinery may no longer be of use, business models might become obsolete, and people who sung praises in your achievements might leave you (don’t forget who’s the first to leave a sinking ship). Something that can never be lost or taken away from you, though, is your integrity to the purpose, your belief in your goals, your ability to back yourself, your courage to look the storm in the eye. For these events are like a storm, which too shall pass and you will emerge victorious.

'The Year That Was' - The Year Of Epiphanies

It's funny how somberly 2016 crept in. I remember taking a solo walk, at 6 am on 1st January 2016. I pompously like to call it the beginning of my Go-solo saga! I had spent the night in a room with my favourite people, as we ushered in another year of ticking bucket-list goals. Now I didn't remember much. The spoils of the night seemed distant, the embarrassing videos conveniently pushed out of the corners of the mind... why didn't I see the sunrise more often?! The first day of the new year sounded so officious to my mind, yet the man and woman sweeping the dried leaves off the lawns did not notice anything special about it. Days crept in, days crept out. In all the bustling of the early morning, I walked on impassively, promising myself that this year will not just trickle by. This will be the year of change! In fact, it was only the previous night that I set my heart on going down the MBA road (until then forms and exams were only just mechanical). Thankfully, exactly two and a half months later, I had the opportunity to take the plunge!

A Day In My Life At B-School

While I was pursuing my engineering, I knew for sure that one day I would get into a premier B-school for an MBA. It was October 2016 when a new journey of my life started; it was when I started my march to an MBA from IMT Ghaziabad. The picture of my first day at IMT Ghaziabad campus is still very lucid in my mind. I reached the campus in afternoon and was greeted by Prateek, who was a first year PGDM student known to me even before I got into IMT. He showed me the canteen, where I had paranthas and a brief discussion with him. I then tried exploring the lush green campus on my own and was amazed to see its beauty, had ice-cream in dinner and looked around for something I would interest me.
