What Makes a Good B-School

Have you ever wondered why B-schools can’t be like engineering colleges, teaching students how to technically solve business complexities? Or why are B-schools different from medical schools, teaching people proven remedies and prescriptions that work 100%? The nature of life in business is completely unpredictable. One doesn’t realise any clear relationship between intervention and outcome… did your idea succeed or were you just lucky with the stars… did the meeting go down well or were the others unable to pull you down… etc etc. Here we have a point to note down – nothing in business is black or white, all are shades of grey.

Art Attack!

We all have been passionate about our crayons, brushes and sketch pens at some point of time in our childhood. Mohini Patil, a PGP I student of IIM Lucknow, continues to have her box of colours with her, inside campus. She enjoys trying out different art forms and specifically loves sand animation and encaustic painting. Her art collection seems like a product of artistic usage of crayons or colours or anything else but definitely not what she reveals. “Encaustic is a rare and an amazing art,” she says, “it means mixing multiple colours. And I use crayons, melt them and paint with an iron.” Mohini has been practicing encaustic art for six years.

Wonder who does the 'charity'!

I joined IIFT after working in a corporate house for three years. When I got to know that IIFT has a 4 credit course where each student would have to work with a local NGO, it did not make much sense to me. After working with Aarohan for the past 3 weeks I realize what an important role it has played in my life. There are few experiences which we tend to call ‘life changing’ and I would term this internship as my first.

Kaptains of IIM Kozhikode - Somya Barpanda- the Inquisitive Orator

B-Schools house an eclectic mixture of people ranging from different disciplines, diverse age-groups, varied regions of the country who harbour different mind sets and aspirations in life. There are some who are extremely passionate about sports, some others who if they would not have been in a B-School, would definitely have been one of India’s most famous rock bands’ lead singers. And then we also have one rare species of people who with their impeccable interrogation skills leave one and all, spellbound. In our series of Kaptains of IIM Kozhikode, we talk about Somya Barpanda from IIM Kozhikode – a cycling enthusiast, a skilful painter, a voracious reader, a fervid debater, an ABG scholar and above all, a person who feels that if curiosity killed the cat, it was the satisfaction that brought it back. Here is what she has to say about all this.
