Summer Placements – Class of 2015-17: XLRI Jamshedpur

Season #5 of Summer Placement Reporting continues today with XLRI Jamshedpur. One of the best schools in India, XLRI has been sharing data with us since 2012 and the general perception has always been very positive of the report being mostly accurate and largely transparent.  It is also quite notable that many of the best recruiters are wiling to travel all the way to recruit at Jamshedpur (there is no direct flight anymore). It points to two things - 1) Quality of Students and the XLRI brand 2) The super-strong Alumni base of the oldest business school in India (1949 - although the BM programme was introduced much later)

Management Lessons from Baahubali

There is so much hype and noise around this latest South Indian Telugu Flick - Baahubali that I started taking note of it. I am not a big fan of Telugu movies for the simple fact that I don't understand the language. Since Baahubali had a IMBD rating of over 9.5, I decided to take a plunge and watch the movie as I was promised that there are English Subtitles shown on screen. The movie was Phenomenal and No wonder its shattering all box office records and still roaring to go high. Anyways, this post is not a review of the movie.

The Cocktail in Class: The Diary Of A Class Representative

A PGPB cannot just be about academics. If it is, you are doing it all wrong. I wanted my PGPB to make me a good manager, and this cannot be taught only by theory. I needed to know the practical application of whatever I learnt. The best way to do this while doing my PGPB was to become a class representative; a daily dose of management as a student.
