How many IIM graduates can claim to be a country head of a company, 2.5 years after graduation? And we are not talking about just another start up. We are talking about Zomato which has started influencing eating out habits of young people in many big cities in the country.
Mee the 3 graduates from IIM Indore who have decided to jump off the cliff in anticipation of an uncertain but exciting life. It takes a lot of courage to do it and we congratulate them for taking this step. One of them wishes to help rural women by manufacturing and selling sanitary napkins. Another wishes to get into the food catering business. Yet another graduate wishes to develop mobile applications and also start a restaurant chain.

We, at InsideIIM, had the good fortune to catch up with this maverick who - at quite a young age - has developed sound judgement coupled with successful business skills. Here's an interview with IIM Indore grad and founder of iimjobs.com - Mr. Tarun Matta. Read on to find out more..
It is always better to travel than to arrive, they say. Here is a man who wouldn't disagree.. Also, he would probably steer clear of popular tourist spots in cities and would rather delve into the myriad stories a place has to offer.. What's more? Out of this keen interest for the 'experience' of a place, this IIM Indore graduate runs a successful business - Storytrails. In conversation with the founder, Managing Director and master storyteller himself: Do tell us something about your venture.. Who is your target audience and what services do you aim to provide? We are a storytelling organisation and our work involves using storytelling as a communication tool and as a learning aid. We work primarily with three kinds of audiences.
Here's an insightful conversation with a Rohit Koshy - a former campus recruiter, budding novelist, above average maths tutor, failed insurance agent, almost-kicked-out-of-college textile engineer, Business Plan generator ... the list goes on. Prior to studying at God's own IIM, Rohit completed his engineering at India's premier engineering college. He has worked at Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore for industries ranging from Specialty Chemicals, HR Consulting, Education, Insurance, IT and Infrastructure Development.
Everyone dreams of risking it all and winning, but few actually try. Many of us keenly admire risk-takers from a safe distance - from the (imagined) safety that a salaried job begets. A country that has invented so much in the past can definitely do with a few more risk takers in the future. And among the population, MBA grads from blue chip B schools are a privileged lot - they have something to fall back on when their venture fails.
InsideIIM is happy to feature the story of Amit Grover. This is a great interview for any of you wanting to take the entrepreneurship plunge. He says people should jump into it but jump responsibly.
