Summer internships are very funny, in the sense that you get to meet so many new people who are trying (read pretending) to be the most deserving intern that the firm has ever seen, working their backsides off to impress everyone around them and putting on a great entertaining show for everyone every other day.
How likely are you to be happy with your job after an MBA? What is an ideal salary expectation to have post-MBA, and are those expectations actually met?

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. This is the epigram we all have come across in our life. Gender has turned out to be one of the most debated discussions, renegotiating across cultural, social, political and commercial realms. However, in this era of post-millennials, consumers are upbrought with increased tolerance for non-traditional gender identities. The traditional gender boundaries seem to be progressively getting blurred. Gender-neutral marketing, the present marketing gimmick, is on the verge of breaking the ice with the rise of Fem-vertising and death of Bro-marketing. Brands continuously craft gender ambiguous strategies that allow marketers to tune a voice that resonates with consumer’s entire lifestyle rather than being confined to just gender.
Three millennia ago, Heraclitus of Ephesus, a famous Greek Philosopher proposed a doctrine of change being the only constant in this universe. Since then, many of us have heard this saying without truly understanding the wisdom behind those words.

Unlike the popular opinion held by adults (and by adults I mean mostly my parents), Harry Potter is not just a children’s fantasy book. Just like we gradually grow older and more mature, the need for money changes from buying popsicles to buying a house or a car; similarly, the books start making more sense and become more relatable when reading at different phases of our lives.
Learning a language has more to it than simply adding up a single CV pointer. It is rare to find foreign language speakers in India, and this renders it as a distinguishing factor. Several business schools including IIFT, MDI, and IIM Calcutta already offer foreign language courses.
