Crowd Funding as a means of raising funds seems to be gathering momentum – albeit on a small base. In 2014, $ 16.2 billion was raised globally, which is 167% increase over the previous year. This year the figure is expected to top $ 34 billion. The World Bank too has taken a view of this phenomenon & has predicted that by 2025 the figure could top $ 96 billion!
Continuing our series on MYRAcles, we meet Sai Pratik from MYRA School of Business who worked with Google before joining MYRA School of Business and interned in Chicago after his first year at MYRA.
Watch this special video which is a special conversation with Prof.Sanyal who is the dean of NMIMS. He talks in depth about NMAT 2015 - the format, the structure and gives you more perspective on NMIMS the Business School. Why NMIMS?
Well I’m going to be honest here. When I gave CAT, the only B-schools I had heard of were the IIMs. And I guess that’s only natural. What wouldn’t be natural would be me not hearing of the IIMs because let’s face it, we prefer brands. But call it fate, call it luck, call it my destiny, I landed up at SP Jain.
Getting into a reputed B School in many ways is a life altering event for any management graduate. Hence I had huge expectations from KIAMS and I have to say they have been fulfilled to a large extent. I also realize from the way things are going that by the time I complete the program I would have achieved everything I had hoped to and more.
The day I remember is not the CAT'14 I cracked but the one I failed miserably CAT'13. On the auspicious day of Sankranthi(South India festival) I checked my result only to see the worst thing. I decided to give up my thought of doing MBA and to focus on job. I convinced myself that apart from saving fees of 15 lakhs, I also can be in a better position after 2 years without doing MBA. But who knows destiny has other thoughts planned for me.
Avneet Sikka, Economic Times Young Leader, 2014 is an alumnus of MDI Gurgaon. Our team spoke to him to know more about his experiences and what he got right in his pursuit to feature on the coveted list of Young Leaders.
Like many of you, I too was an Engineer who aspired to study at a premier B-school. My journey towards MBA began in late 2014. While filling my form, I realized that the first question to ask myself to kick-start my journey towards an MBA degree was “what unique experience or quality differentiates me from my competitors?” I am an Electronics engineer who worked in the Finance IT division of Nomura. I handled key responsibilities and lead the project, and this was my differentiating factor or USP, whichever you feel comfortable with.
