What Can Future Executives Learn From Adam Gilchrist?

I have been a crazy fan of the game of Cricket since my childhood. Encouraged by my father who introduced me to the game, many instances in the game have been lifelong lessons that I still continue to imbibe in my life. From the centuries of Sachin Tendulkar to the fiery spells of Brett Lee, each of them had a lesson to offer. But, one of those that stands out to this day is one that I learnt from Adam Gilchrist. This acrobatic wicket-keeper who doubled as an explosive opening batsman belonged to a generation of Australian players who were infamous for the myriad of controversies they were involved in. But, he stood out of all of them. In a pack of wolves, he seemed to exude the calmness of a monk and above all highest levels of integrity and sportsmanship.

Fight As A Batch - A Brief Account Of A Delightful Semester At SJMSOM

It’s that time of the year again where “MBA aspirants” (in search of a better term) from around the country would start to think about their prospective business schools. Our priority list always consists of much the same factors – placements, faculty, location, campus, fees etc. However, it often gets confusing as many of the average packages in LPAs these days seem strikingly close to each other and the views we get from the insiders studying in these B-Schools about campus and faculties often seem too good to be true. I had much of the same issues while I was looking for my perfect management school to enrol in. And I write here in an attempt to make this selection easier for you, by telling you that there is probably one more factor that can help you shortlist schools of your choice and that is sheer numbers. Yes, I mean the number of students you would be studying with – it does matter.

My First Month At IIM Sambalpur - Rishav Jhunjhunwala

It all started when I cleared the interview rounds of CAP selection process and received the admission offer from IIM Sambalpur. I was in a dilemma whether I should get some relevant work experience or join a good MBA college this year itself. IIM Sambalpur is located in a small city in the western part of Odisha. Sambalpur is one of the most beautiful cities of Eastern India that is untouched by the ravines of urbanization. However, there are major roadblocks that plague most of the tier 3 cities in India. But with difficulties, come a plethora of opportunities. That is where I wanted to maximize my utility in my pursuit of becoming a social entrepreneur.  I was always intrigued by the nuances of the smaller cities in our country and wanted to explore the gamut of opportunities that lay ahead. So IIM Sambalpur fitted right into the alleys of my conviction. After contemplating my future aspirations of becoming an entrepreneur, I joined the PGP program at IIM Sambalpur.

"Your Past Shouldn't Decide Your Destiny" - Kunal Jain, DMS IIT Delhi, Class Of 2020

Indian Institute of Technology is considered a reliable name not only in India but overseas as well. Quality Research has been the legacy of IIT for a long time. I had always aspired to be an IITian, but my commerce background led me to a path that I knew would never enter the IIT premises, at least officially, until I got to know about Department of Management Studies (DMS)!

How Traveling Shaped Me As A Person And How NITIE Is A Part Of My Journey?

"When you venture outside and step out of your comfort zone, that is the time when you really discover yourself and realize your true potential." I am out on an expedition and NITIE is another beautiful part of this journey. Travelling has transformed the way I conduct myself and every journey further shapes me into a better human being. This is possible because of the various dimensions associated with travelling. As a tourist, one often tends to overlook these dimensions, but a traveller tries to explore as many dimensions as he can.
