Getting to ride a bike isn’t easy. Especially if you are from that planet called Venus.
A college, particularly, an MBA college is as good as the quality of students it attracts. No wonder, IIFT Kolkata attracts the best and the most diverse talent from across the nation. The current batch at IIFT Kolkata has a multi-disciplinary, eclectic bunch of students comprising of an international golfer, a best-selling author, a celebrated filmmaker, an experienced dentist and so on.
We have always seen students of IIMs going on exchange to universities abroad. In the same set up, students from abroad come to our universities in India. David Merzger is one such student from Germany, who had come for a term to IIM Indore. He is pursuing masters in studies of business administration from Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Germany. David is interested in finance, and has gained hands on commercial experience in financial services back in Germany during his internship with several companies. As part of social activities, he has also worked for civilian service. Let’s check out what he thinks about IIM Indore.
While IIFT is famous for attracting great candidates from various disciplines, this year the students at the Kolkata campus were taken aback when they heard that an author of two best-selling books has joined the programme along with them.
Alongside the Golf Cup, organising Khlur-Thma – the Annual Management Fest of IIM Shillong – was a daunting task but the student fraternity of IIM Shillong made this a memorable and an enjoyable experience. The two day extravaganza held in October 2014 saw the confluence of renowned industry leaders, academicians and students exchanging ideas on myriad of business facets.
The word 'Racism' induces a fair amount of discomfort, given its contrasting connotation to the official 'Unity in Diversity'. Having stayed in Delhi for most part of my life, the tension with respect to the people of North East has always been palpable in the city. Honestly I was also unaware about the behavior and culture of these people. I had never interacted with anyone from that part of the country and whenever the tabloids featured news on discrimination to these people, I always wondered if there was any logical explanation. It felt as though there was an intangible demarcation and it didn't seem right. Such events were sporadic and over the years it created a string of misconceptions in my mind.
