'All Of Us Have Mastered The Art Of Getting Things Done" - 2 Years At IIM Rohtak - Shakthi Velan

An MBA was not really on my plan. It was rather an afterthought. After my under-graduation in mechanical engineering, I was focused on a career in public policy and diplomacy. I gave the civil services examination a good shot before I decided to let go and sat for CAT to forge an alternate career path. Meanwhile, before I joined IIM Rohtak, I spent a few months working in public sector consulting on some exciting projects like handicrafts rejuvenation.

Managing Management – How It All Began

Managing Management – How It All Began

It’s that time of the year again – ADMISSIONS! As I look at yet another set of shiny, suited-up candidates looking at new ways to answer the question “Why MBA” without mentioning money in it, I am reminded of my own ordeals last year. What began as my idea of entering the big, bad world outside had me introspecting and reflecting on my own actions more than any other experience in my life.

The Only Thing Constant Is Change - Nipunya Panda - XSRM

The Only Thing Constant Is Change - Nipunya Panda - XSRM

It is almost funny how little one observes when a set of conducts and choices, largely governed by one’s own personal range of emotions and perceptivity, gets metamorphosed. Although, that is principally subconscious in most cases and typically, an outcome of a dominant environment for a prolonged period of time that influences a sense of transformation, an MBA would tell you that he/she felt personally urged to act a certain way for good.

Why They Keep Coming Back To Campus - NITIE Mumbai

Why They Keep Coming Back To Campus - NITIE Mumbai

As a part of the team organizing the annual alumni meet of NITIE this year, I was waiting at the campus gate to welcome an alumnus, who was a student of PGDIM batch of 2010 and holds a prestigious position at a well-known bank in India. I had already created a picture in my mind of a charismatic personality well-groomed in his expensive suit arriving in no less than an Audi or a BMW. Interestingly, I almost didn’t spot him while I was standing at the campus gate to receive him. Only when I turned back to see a man in a casual off-white shirt with denim jeans and Bose headphones around his neck and getting out of an auto-rickshaw, that I realized it was indeed him. I introduced myself to him with a smile and he responded with a wider smile and warmth as if he was welcoming me to his alma mater. Well, in this case, it's true because he had been frequently visiting the campus for guest lectures and knowledge sessions ever since he passed out, while I was associated with the college for little over 6 months.

What Attracted Me Towards SPJIMR?

What Attracted Me Towards SPJIMR?

In 2017, I filled out the applications of various top business schools in India like thousands of other candidates before appearing for various entrance exams. This is when my first contact with SPJIMR took place. Unlike other business schools, SPJIMR wanted to capture the entirety of me in that form. Beyond the standard questions about my general details, academic records and work experiences, the form had questions about my life experiences and who I am as a person. Filling out that form was a great experience since it made me relive many stories from my past which I had forgotten about.
