Surviving First Year At B-School - Tips By An XLRI Student

Not even one and a half months into my dream college, I was sitting in my room when my phone started buzzing. Ignoring it as regular spamming in the WhatsApp group, I continued doing my work. But when the buzzing continued for an approximately half hour, I picked up my phone to find that something serious had happened.

Interesting Batchmates At IIM Indore

Life at IIM Indore is good till you discover that it's all about the people here. They are MBA aspirants planning to run companies.

That, my friend, is called a ‘Marketing Myopia’ in technical terms; when you are short-sighted and completely neglect various other possibilities and failing to understand the mindset of your consumer.
