It was a bright and sunny day. The sun was shining in its full glory when I first stepped into IIM-L Noida Campus. I was awestruck by the colossal façade and the grand entrance in front of me. Overwhelmed with joy by the sight of billboard, which said ‘IIM Lucknow Noida Campus’, I then realised the real meaning of the expression ‘Dream Come True’.
The Senate 2016, organized by the Corporate Interface Team of SIBM Pune is a flagship management conclave that hosts a number of thought-leaders and industry pioneers, was held on January 17th 2016, at the Symbiosis Knowledge Village, Lavale. It was a one day event with panel discussions on two topics followed by Q&A sessions with the students.
The word Loud has always accounted for an outcry of gouging eyes. It has always had the connotation of an insistence rather than a suggestion. And then came the event "Godrej Loud" which simply metamorphosed the structure of the Word “Loud” and gave a fresh perspective to the minds boggled with the obvious. It was not just an event, it was a spectacle where the students of SCMHRD witnessed the blossoming of a vision. The event was not just a platform for the launch of the event - it was so much more. It was the unbecoming of trite, a sketch of the future, an adage to the heroics of a common man becoming a dynamo.
“So, do you know what a spike is?” The senior asked to the class. “Well, a high point in one’s career?” Somebody from the first row exclaimed. “Yes sort of, but to paraphrase it more clearly, it’s something a person would remember about you after going through your 1-pager CV, and you know right, the company selectors only have, like 30 seconds to flip out the resumes of 449 people. If they don’t do that, the process would become, quite infeasible, wouldn’t it!?”
My journey to IIM-L encompasses an entirety of 21 years – a shorter period than what most of the people here have experienced. And in this short period I have managed to have a few remarkably bizarre experiences and a few other clichéd ones.
What would you do when you go to a retail store? You shop for your products, pay the bill and leave. But very few of us know what goes at the back end to provide the consumer with a smooth shopping experience. This is what we exactly do at the Planet-I shop (fondly known as PI-shop of IIM Indore), a student run retail outlet under the aegis of Merchand-I club. “Bringing Life to Planet I”, is the motto of PI shop which represents the club’s aim of serving the IIM Indore community by providing basic amenities. We sell a wide range of products from personal care to food and beverages.
I am filled with excitement experiencing life as a student again, cycling through to class with the best lake views on either side, in a campus spread across acres of land replete with natural beauty; loaded with a bag on my back and numerous thoughts circling my mind regarding the case which is to be discussed just a few minutes from now; A faculty with core expertise in his/her field is going to teach me something new in the next 1.5 hours, something which I could probably relate with my experiences; I am working on group projects with peers from different fields which gives me an opportunity to listen to different perspectives thereby shaping my thinking and enhancing my learning. Thus, I am full of life again and seek exciting avenues for myself in the future.
