Baazigar – Week 12 : Dantewada

By the time most of us are done with our teenage years, we begin our irreversible march towards becoming chronic cynics. We choose our lovers, careers, friends and ambitions – all of it with cynicism at the core of it. We euphemize this with terms like being realistic, pragmatic, mature, etc and we get away with it because the people we are giving this justification to are also a part of this sham. We view election results, rape case proceedings, cricket matches, et al with that same practiced cynicism and hence fail to analyze, evaluate and act. We carry this cynicism to places where it should have no business – the workplace, the first date and, the most significant, the classroom.

Consulting - A Primer

Most students respond to job market trends by changing their innermost convictions and long-term career goals with the slippery ease of a chameleon. The consulting industry is one such beneficiary of a structural shift in aspirations. Banking was brought down to its knees in 2007, and it continues to be in limbo, with companies like UBS, Bank of America, HSBC, Citigroup announcing major job cuts across service lines and especially in investment banking. Management consulting, on the other hand has remained fairly insulated from all the bad news about the economy, and has emerged as the preferred option for India’s best and brightest. Here’s a primer on the consulting industry, the types of consulting firms, pros and cons of working in a consulting firm.

The InsideIIM Entrepreneurship Series - Interview with Rajesh Kumar B, founder – Focus Academy for Career Enhancement

Everyone dreams of risking it all and winning, but few actually try. Many of us keenly admire risk-takers from a safe distance - from the (imagined) safety that a salaried job begets. A country that has invented so much in the past can definitely do with a few more risk takers in the future. And among the population, MBA grads from blue chip B schools are a privileged lot - they have something to fall back on when their venture fails.
