Why Every B-School Should Have The Himalayan Outbound Program

Why Every B-School Should Have The Himalayan Outbound Program

To folks who don’t know what the Himalayan Outbound Program (HOP) is - it is a legitimate course with credits which is offered to the final year students belonging to certain IIMs (Like IIM Indore). The participants are required to trek up to altitudes of around 10,000 to 12,000 ft, for a period of three to four days at selected locations in the Himalayas, and take part in adventure activities and group tasks. Gift vouchers and other prizes are awarded to groups which perform well during these treks and activates. The programs are usually organised and conducted by vendors such as Indiahikes and TSAF.

The "Loudspeaker" Syndrome - Office Diaries

Every office has an “office loudspeaker”. There is at least one, if not many. By “loudspeaker” I mean by the virtue of their loud voice/muscular throat or attitude they keep on loudly speaking on the phone from time to time. No, no, why should they bother that you are being disturbed, after all, they are doing their job and you are idling your time coming to the office everyday. You should mind your own Business and let me them not mind their tongue.

You May Stop Black Money But Can You Stop Corruption? - Views From Prabhakar

You May Stop Black Money But Can You Stop Corruption? - Views From Prabhakar

The demonetization move was the right one to make in spite of all the public indignation and unjustified political lobbying against the current government. In any case, the opposition and politicians, in general, lack the credibility to criticise the demonetization move, only because the entire nation knows that they are the most corrupt.

What Brexit Means For India And The Way Ahead - Bhaskar, IIM Rohtak

In one of the most significant geopolitical events since the dawn of the 21st century, a majority of the electorate in the UK voted in favour of leaving the European Union. Their mandate, when implemented, will terminate the 4-decade old relationship the UK has shared with the EU that was based on a couple of terms, different from those of all other 27 members of the EU. The exit of Britain from the European Union has been termed as Brexit, a word derived from the amalgamation of Britain and exit.
