Last year we had released a series of reports on the alumni of the top B schools we cover, slicing aggregate data from LinkedIn by company, location and organizational function. When we released these reports, they created quite a stir. People were amazed by the new avenues for data exploration, and the insights opened up by a few mouse clicks on LinkedIn.
In Part 1 of his article (which you can read here), Sudeep talked about the reasons for doing an MBA & why he picked ISB.
Planning to do an MBA from a global B-school? I used to think that the process was simple: work for a couple of years, take the GMAT, apply to B-schools, take admission and start your course!
(Edit: This is the last post after 23 weeks of intense travel across India. To know how it all began, read this! It is an achievement to have actually completed this adventure. We all wait for the book now!)
The distance from Guwahati to Tawang is about 550 kilometers. I have often traveled more than 1000 kilometers in a single day with multiple changes in the mode of transport. But 550 kilometers is just a number and it doesn't even begin to tell you how arduous this journey actually is. For the most part, the road is riddled with crater-sized potholes and is wide enough for just one Sumo which gets perilously close to the edge of the hairpin curves.
This is the concluding part in our series on Adam Pervez – volunteer, traveler, writer and MBA grad. He is an engineer from Ohio State and an MBA graduate from IE Business School – Spain. He quit his comfortable job with Siemens Wind Power, Denmark (paying a six-figure salary) before deciding to follow his passions – travelling, and giving back to society. The HappinessPlunge and the Happy Nomad Tour - an 18 month tour of the world is the result of his initiative to travel and volunteer around the world with the objective of leaving each place better than how it was when he found it. He writes regularly for the Huffington Post. He has also written for The Economist and been featured on BusinessWeek.

Guwahati is called the ‘City of Eastern Light’ – probably named by some fuddy-duddy, Raj era British officer or historian. The Assam of the British era has a slightly different history from the rest of the country as it came under the rule of the Raj a little later. Assam always perceived the Chinese to be more interested in it than the British were. It saw Subhash Chandra Bose and his exploits as the centrepiece of its struggle while the rest of the country grew up on an entirely different set of heroes.
