Leadership is an onerous responsibility for you are responsible not only for yourself but for so many other people who look up to you as their leader. So, when you nurture hope as a leader, you nurture dreams and create possibilities.

Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar witnessed yet another fruitful summer internship placement week, with over 80 organizations visiting the campus. Apart from the regular recruiters, which XIMB has always cherished, various new and emerging market leaders have also participated and offered coveted profiles to the MBA-BM and MBA-HRM students over a variety of domains.
The Union budget was announced by the Honorable Finance Minister of India, Mr. Arun Jaitley on the 1st of February, 2017. This budget had many firsts. For the first time the Union budget was announced on the first day of February and not the last. Also, for the first time the Railway budget was not a separate affair, it was clubbed with the Union budget. The highlights of the budget included the focus on pro-poor schemes, huge spending on infrastructure projects and farmer welfare schemes. Not much was changed when it came to the tax structure, besides slashing the tax rate to 5% for the lowest taxable bracket. In fact, indirect taxes were not touched at all as the Goods and Services Tax is expected to become a reality soon.
Every generation has occupied researchers, marketers, advertisers and advertising agencies for the last few decades. In fact, the study of generations has been a full-time occupation for some time. Each generation is a mystery to the generations before them, who spend hours and many tons of research trying to understand them. Unfortunately, while the generation gap was supposedly seventeen and a half years, my suspicion is that the generation gap is shrinking and it is about half that already, in the new age of the technology and the internet where human progress is accelerating.
If the last quarter of 2016, saw journalists across the globe having a Trump up their sleeve, 2017 has already seen corporate action like never before. AT&T’s 109 Billion$ acquisition of the times warner group has kept tongues wagging for a while now.
My Second year at Bocconi gave me plenty of opportunities to explore the world. First up was the Campus Abroad Program at the iconic UC campus at Los Angeles. California is a beach boy’s dream and living there for a month taking a course on Entrepreneurship, working with colleagues from across the world including Imperial College – London and Bocconi – Milan was a lesson in embracing diversity. Spending evenings at the beaches of Santa Monica and Malibu, checking out eateries at downtown LA, partying in Hollywood, travelling to other cities in the US, it was an experience of a lifetime.
Post budget discussions organised by VIT University on the Union Budget 2017-’18 recently evoked mixed reactions with speakers welcoming the thrust given to the farming sector.
