How Students Made COVID-FYI To Combat Coronavirus | Ft. Simran Soni Of IIM Kozhikode

John F. Kennedy once said, “When written in Chinese, the word ‘crisis’ is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity.” When our beloved nation was struck by the crisis, not only did we realise the danger that COVID 19 posed to the common man, but we collectively realised the opportunity to come together behind closed doors to address critical issues that the pandemic has bought about. The team came together at the “Coronathon” event held in late March and have been taking time from our daily schedule to create the platform COVIDFYI with zero funding.

How MDI Has Changed My Life!

People never seem to reveal a lot about what happened in their MBA programmes when asked. Other than the usual tiny tidbits & the proverbial “it’s something you need to experience” & “those were the best 2 years of my life”, there’s not really a lot they tell you before going on a nostalgia trip in their minds, reminiscing about the golden days. As someone who was knee-deep in UPSC preparations only a year ago, this sudden shift to MBA did catch me flat-footed and I was heavily underprepared on what to expect from the program. Apart from the typical 20 somethings’ mind muddled with, in the words of CS Lewis, “a zoo of lusts, a bedlam of ambitions, a nursery of fears, a harem of fondled hatreds”, I was pretty much a clean slate when I came here. That didn’t make me any less excited or anxious about it though.
