Walmart Inc.’s deal to buy a controlling stake in India’s biggest online seller is meeting skepticism on Wall Street. Walmart shares dropped as much as 4.2 percent to $82.12 as of 10:28 a.m. in New York -- the lowest intraday price since October. The company’s stock was already down 13 percent this year through Tuesday’s close.
It was an uneventful weekend evening. It was raining cats and dogs outside and the new entrants to the city of Mumbai could chart no plans for an outing. The high was just settling down and I was finding my groove.
The Indian start-up ecosystem in India has boomed ever since the explosion of the dotcom era, with the launch of Rediff.com and Shaadi.com. In 2007, the pioneers of potential decacorn start-ups, Flipkart, was founded by Sachin and Binny Bansal, who were former Amazon employees. As of 2017, the company is valued at approximately $11.6 Billion and was one of the first Indian unicorn start-ups along with Ola. Other unicorns include SnapDeal, PayTM, Hike, Zomato, and most recently, Byju's.
What do you want to do after your MBA? A job? A good job, perhaps? But what would make you feel that you are REALLY doing something? The answer here is, working at a place that not only gives you opportunities but also makes you feel like you are making an impact. Creating a difference. This place is Reliance.
It’s conventional, it’s cliched, and it’s contrived - yet lakhs of students burn the midnight oil for months every year for a chance to pursue an MBA degree. For a generation that largely believes in challenging the norms and striving for the unexplored, what is it that MBA teaches you so that all roads seem to converge at a course in management?
Technology, as we all know, is the biggest driving force for the developments in business throughout the world. In today’s fast-moving era, the world of business is working solely on the trade-offs between disruptions and sustainability. Here are some of the game changers that are definite to turn the world upside down.
Since I embarked on my journey to pursue an MBA, it has been full of rejections. In making it to my current position as a student at XLRI, I have had more rejections than acceptances. While dealing with rejections myself, I have seen many smart students deal with their share of rejections as well.
It has been well over a month since MBA first-year students all over the country have returned to campus from their respective summer internships – a fitting end to a gruelling first year. Every now and then, amidst the relatively relaxed schedule of the second year, WhatsApp groups erupt in a frenzy of messages congratulating recent awardees of PPOs (pre-placement offers). The routine is to continue all through the term, as companies take their own time to release results. This is quite a long-drawn period of anxiety for those who await results; of relief and celebration for those who have won PPOs, and of disappointment for those who have had to face rejection.
