A Delhi-ite In Trivandrum - Kapil Yadav's Internship Experience At Ernst And Young - IIM Indore
From the chole kulche of Delhi to falling in love with pappam and idiyappam, my story is no less than that of Chetan Bhagat, except that it lacks the sexy Alia Bhatt in it. Born and brought up in Delhi, in a traditional family from Haryana, as luck has it, life’s experiences or rather IIM Indore’s mandatory internship requirement took me to God’s Own Country, the Ernst and Young office of Trivandrum.

Musings Of An MBA Freshman
“So, do you know what a spike is?” The senior asked to the class. “Well, a high point in one’s career?” Somebody from the first row exclaimed. “Yes sort of, but to paraphrase it more clearly, it’s something a person would remember about you after going through your 1-pager CV, and you know right, the company selectors only have, like 30 seconds to flip out the resumes of 449 people. If they don’t do that, the process would become, quite infeasible, wouldn’t it!?”

My Journey To IIM Ahmedabad PGPX - Anupama's Story
As a child, I was in awe of the IITs and IIMs: their stunning campuses, intelligent students and venerable professors. I wrote my CAT after little prep back in 2006 and scored a lacklustre percentile. That same year, I had applied to five top schools for MS. You can perhaps discern the amount of clarity in the direction I wanted to pursue then – MS or MBA?! I consider myself more of a B-school candidate today. But back in the day, most of us buckled into peer pressure; I had written the GRE (that helped though because I can throw around words like discombobulated. See!), applied for MS. That did not work out.

The Retail Store At IIM Indore
What would you do when you go to a retail store? You shop for your products, pay the bill and leave. But very few of us know what goes at the back end to provide the consumer with a smooth shopping experience. This is what we exactly do at the Planet-I shop (fondly known as PI-shop of IIM Indore), a student run retail outlet under the aegis of Merchand-I club. “Bringing Life to Planet I”, is the motto of PI shop which represents the club’s aim of serving the IIM Indore community by providing basic amenities. We sell a wide range of products from personal care to food and beverages.

The Real Life MBA - FoodSpot - The 9th Pass Entrepreneur
Entrepreneurship has seen a steady rise in today’s time. It’s not only about making profits, but it is also a process of designing and crafting an enterprise that sustains in the long run and also has a value addition to the society. And it definitely is not an easy process. It starts with an array of uncertainties and challenges but it can only have three possible outcomes - one, it will take off and do really well; or two, it will not work and you will drown; or three, you will just manage it enough to make ends meet. As Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Letcher put it in their book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, “Starting a business is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. In mid-air, the entrepreneur begins building a parachute and hopes it opens before hitting the ground.”

My Life At IIM Calcutta PGPEX - Kunal Rustgi's Experience
I am filled with excitement experiencing life as a student again, cycling through to class with the best lake views on either side, in a campus spread across acres of land replete with natural beauty; loaded with a bag on my back and numerous thoughts circling my mind regarding the case which is to be discussed just a few minutes from now; A faculty with core expertise in his/her field is going to teach me something new in the next 1.5 hours, something which I could probably relate with my experiences; I am working on group projects with peers from different fields which gives me an opportunity to listen to different perspectives thereby shaping my thinking and enhancing my learning. Thus, I am full of life again and seek exciting avenues for myself in the future.
