MBA - Specify, Simplify, Satisfy repeat

MBA – A degree which can be interpreted in a thousand ways with all being correct at the same time. While some say that MBA is knowledge, experience, and money, some might go on and say that MBA is an internationally-recognized degree designed to develop the skills required for careers in business and management.

Re-engineer yourself brick by brick

My 1 year journey (PGPX @IIMA) has just come to an end and eyes turn misty as I brace myself to hand over the keys of MSH 901 to the facilities office and just move on with life. So what has been the NPV and IRR of this journey, asks the Chartered Accountant in me who had hirtherto been an EV/EBITDA and Free Cash Flow to Equity cruncher to the house of Tatas and Birlas

With huge population size we must rank in top 5 in terms of innovations. But what saddens me is the recent global competitiveness report which ranks India as number 48 in terms of innovation below all the BRICS countries inspite of registering a double digit growth rate.

I Dared to Do and so Did I...

Where we are we know not, where we shall be, we know not, what we do know is what we aren't and that drives you to idealize what you could be. In a world of craze, rat race and pressure, I stood as another minnow, shadowed and stamped by giants that strode. Yet within the little being, lived a dream that knew not of pragmatism, I set to work to see my dream come true.

Women's Dilemma in the Corporate World

With International Women’s Day on March 8, I ponder on the state of women in the so called majestic Corporate World which enthuses one and all.
