All Thanks to the Offer Letter! - Ginny Tewatia's Experience At IIM Kashipur

A year ago at this time, bags were being packed to be taken to a new unheard place perched in some part of Uttarakhand- Kashipur. The feeling of getting selected in an IIM was magical but the fact that this one was situated in an unknown place, a tad eclipsed my bliss. After completing my graduation from Delhi University, the thought of spending the next two years in Kashipur seemed a little dull and boring. But after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to go ahead with it.

Why IIM Rohtak Is Giving Other B-schools A Run For Their Money

Life is more than about giving your best, it is more than about working hard, it is more than being a performer. While all that is important, you learn to grow up, and to just be better at accomplishing your potential. IIM Rohtak is where many of us broke out of the mould of the conventional, and like you; we are:

Observing The World - Through The MBA Lens

"Arey waah! I know this -The Professor spoke about this in the class!" was my reaction after looking at how and why the organization in which I am doing an internship is working in a certain way.

Grub Bite – “You Order We Deliver”

If you take one typewriter and build 100, you’ve made horizontal progress. If you have a typewriter and build a word processor, you have made vertical progress.

With no investor, the startup sustained on the equity capital provided by its cofounders during its run in the Chota Nagpur plateau. As the cofounders gained experience and the startup matured, it moved to the Nagar Nigam of Kashipur. Kashipur is a tier 3 city and hence offered different geographical, demographical, cultural and economic constraints to it. The services were decided to be limited to the students of Indian Institute of Management, Kashipur for its experimental run.

The Nostalgic 11 Months At IIM Kashipur

It’s been more than 11 months in IIM Kashipur, but feels like a few days gone. Time flew off at the speed probably more than light. Yes, for people who want rigour, you get that here. Having left a job which needed more than 12 hours of daily devotion to work complimented with unplanned travel visits to customers, I thought what more hectic can any B school be. But, IIM Kashipur’s rigour washed off my perception in less than an hour of stepping in the campus. Welcomed with the warm words and helping hands to pick up my bags, very little did I know that I would be bonded for life.
