One month at IIM Indore, Mumbai Campus !

“One day, I will wake up at an IIM” used to be my consoling statement for all those sleepless nights I used to have toiling hard with my books. Since it has been a month now, I pen down my supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (chuckling; I thought of using this word at least once in life, and I feel that this is the right moment) experiences at IIM Indore-PGP Mumbai.

SPJIMR's Abhyudaya: When a B-School Student Becomes A Mentor

SPJIMR's Abhyudaya: When a B-School Student Becomes A Mentor

Note: SPJIMR is the only B-School in India to launch a unique pedagogic mentoring programme called 'Abhyudaya'. Every SPartan has to mentor a bright, underprivileged kid in the first year of their MBA.

In 2013, an engineer with high-flying dreams graduated from BITS Pilani. With a perfect undergraduate life and a CGPA of 7.4, he was placed with Oracle Financial Services Software (OFSS) as a Senior Technical Associate during 3rd day of campus placements. He had also cracked IIM Kozhikode (IIMK), a premier B-School that provided a 2-year MBA course. The icing on the cake was a pre-placement offer (PPO) from a startup where he enjoyed working during a 6-month internship program that was christened Practice School-2 (PS-2) by BITS Pilani. Here he was, standing at the cross-road, wondering which path to take. You may note that there were three roads instead of two mentioned in Robert Frost’s ‘The Road Not Taken’. Additionally, it was not a yellow wood but a harsh economy that had just started taking baby steps after the recession period of 2009-11. What did he do then?
