I wanted to work for three years before doing my MBA abroad - Interview with Siddhant Kedia, student - MISB Bocconi

SDA Bocconi is a B school that consistently figures in the prestigious FT MBA rankings (it is currently ranked 31, just below IIM Ahmedabad). When they moved overseas and reached Indian shores, we were intrigued. Their campus in Mumbai is known as MISB Bocconi. MISB Bocconi offers a two year full-time MBA course – PGPB in business. The students also get to attend the one semester where they choose their specialization, at SDA Bocconi, in Milan, Italy. They are given a diploma in management from SDA Bocconi Milan. The quality of education imparted even in Mumbai is top-notch, because the faculty is from the main B school in Milan. To find out more, we spoke to Siddhant Kedia, a second-year  student of MISB Bocconi, graduating in 2014.

Indian Navy Band performs at IIMA

Indian Navy Band performs at IIMA

The Indian Navy Band performed at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad on the 21st of February. The concert was organized by the ninth batch of the Armed Forces Programme 2013-14 and was the first of its kind at IIMA. The band had come all the way from Mumbai and has performed at numerous concerts across the globe. The concert was a musical feast set against the amber hued Louis Kahn Plaza. The Band performed different forms and genres of music, producing a rich tapestry and embodying India’s abiding characteristic of ‘Unity in Diversity’. They left the audience awe struck by their magical performance. Their rendition of ‘Cornfield Rock’, ‘Bharat HumkoJaan Se Pyara’, ‘Rock and Roll Medley’, ‘Havana’ and ‘SareJahan Se Achcha’ were some of the highlights of their performance. The turnout was overwhelming with the entire LKP filled with people who at times hummed to the tune of famous numbers like ‘Tum hi ho’, ‘Monica, Oh my Darling’ and at times were spell bound at the immaculate execution of tracks like ‘Toss the Feathers’, ‘The Final Countdown’. The Director of IIMA Prof. Ashish Nanda praised and marvelled at the performance by the band and presented them with a token of appreciation. The concert ended with the Band playing the Indian National Anthem. The concert was a true testimony to the glory of the Indian Navy Band and to the fact that the men in white are equally talented in all spheres of life.

Pepsi IIM Calcutta Premier League – Season 5 launched

The Cricket Fever is back at Joka with the launch of the 5th season of the IIM Calcutta Premier League (ICPL). Inspired from the BCCI led IPL, ICPL is the student run cricket league and a one of its kind. Over the years this tournament has grown leaps and bounds in terms of magnitude.  One major value-add to the event this year is Pepsi being the Official Title Sponsor for the season. The tournament was kick-started by the auction process of the teams in two stages. As expected the bid amounts more than doubled as compared to last year. In a competitive and strategic backdrop, ten teams were formed with over 4 lakhs in the fray.
