MBA Aspirant

Featured MBA Grad - Ravishankar Iyer. Building vocational skills for India tomorrow.

Nearly everyone with an MBA wants to get into strategy consulting. The few who make it get used to the high-flying life  and are unwilling to give it up for anything in the world. It takes great guts, conviction and sensitivity to give up the fast life and put one's efforts into solving one of India's most slow-moving, intractable problems. That is exactly what Ravishankar Iyer is doing. An alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad, class of 2005, he was Associate Principal at Feedback Ventures (now Feedback Infra) before he joined B-ABLE (Basix Academy for Building Lifelong Employability). The organization works with the National Skills Development Corporation to help build vocational skills among the under-educated and under-skilled.  Following are the excerpts of our interview with him.

FMS and JBIMS are also 50 years old. SPJIMR is over 25 years old as well.

The 6 IIMs Alumni Report - Banking & Finance – Part 3

There is always a big number of aspirants who say they want to become an 'i-banker' without even understanding what it entails. In order to paint a pretty picture about their own business schools, there is always a race among the placement committees of hordes of business schools in India to get every possible job available in an i-bank. It is based on this basic insight that when someone reads the brown coloured newspaper pages no one understands the difference between a front-end job and a technology job and a middle office excel number crunching job.
