'The Year That Was' - The Year Of Epiphanies

'The Year That Was' - The Year Of Epiphanies

It's funny how somberly 2016 crept in. I remember taking a solo walk, at 6 am on 1st January 2016. I pompously like to call it the beginning of my Go-solo saga! I had spent the night in a room with my favourite people, as we ushered in another year of ticking bucket-list goals. Now I didn't remember much. The spoils of the night seemed distant, the embarrassing videos conveniently pushed out of the corners of the mind... why didn't I see the sunrise more often?! The first day of the new year sounded so officious to my mind, yet the man and woman sweeping the dried leaves off the lawns did not notice anything special about it. Days crept in, days crept out. In all the bustling of the early morning, I walked on impassively, promising myself that this year will not just trickle by. This will be the year of change! In fact, it was only the previous night that I set my heart on going down the MBA road (until then forms and exams were only just mechanical). Thankfully, exactly two and a half months later, I had the opportunity to take the plunge!

Life And Lies At IIFT As I Interpret It- Divyansh Vashishth, IIFT- Kolkata Campus

Life And Lies At IIFT As I Interpret It- Divyansh Vashishth, IIFT- Kolkata Campus

It’s a late Sunday evening and everyone in the campus just had a terrible weekend after we were asked to attend 12 hours of self-help workshop on personal finance conducted by the pioneers of the industry.  I, for one, was looking forward to binge watch a new TV series that got a nine-pointer on IMDB and would have preferred to end the weekend on a high (ahem) with my friends at a local joint nearby. But I was stuck with a case study competition floated exclusively for top ten B-schools by a major consulting firm.  Not really an ideal weekend, if you ask me, but here’s something you can take out of it. In IIFT, almost all weekends are on similar lines. There is always some kind of value addition that is happening and it’s really up to you where you want to take this forward. Even if you are hell-bent on spending your weekends secluded, the curriculum and the administration will ensure that you do the things that will only take your career further in the right direction.

The Union Budget 2017 Decoded

The Union Budget 2017 Decoded

Budget 2017 announced by the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is very comprehensive given the fact that it impacts both lower and upper strata of the society to a very large extent– reducing the individual tax rate from 10% to 5% for the lower slab, reducing the tax rate from 30% to 25% for MSMEs having a turnover up to Rs.50 Crores; imposing a surcharge of 10% on individual incomes in the range of Rs.50 lacs to Rs.1 Crore are the breakthrough proposals announced. Relaxation in the promoters’ holding limit for carry forwards of losses and the 3 –year tax holiday provided to start-ups will further boost the Prime Minister’s “Start Up India” campaign. For the educational sector, the FM announced online education portal- “Swayam”, which offers virtual education for 350 online courses, which provides more thrust to the government’s Digital India movement.
