My most memorable classroom experience in IIM Indore was of a session of Organizational Behaviour - II in my term-II. A role play was designed for that session. Some external actors were also hired for this purpose.

Have you ever imagined living your life in a quaint town with forests galore and birds chirping by? IIM Indore embodies that imagination. What makes IIM Indore unique is how understated its diversity is, almost as if the diversity has blended into every thread of its existence. There are days when the student mess is greeted with a presence of peacocks and yet, life goes on. The 200-acre campus houses countless trees and birds and insects and the charm they deliver is unmatchable. Every time you walk around the campus, you feel refreshed and wowed. This beauty at IIM Indore makes it unique.

Anyone remotely good in mathematics or in money management will tell you with certainty that a study abroad program is not worth the money or effort. The numbers just don’t add up. You pay too much for far too less “travelling”. So, are they right? Being brutally truthful, seen just in terms of money spent and locations tagged in a Facebook post, a study abroad program is not even close to being useful. But, that is to point, a study abroad program is not a foreign trip (at least not in its factual sense). It is a program aimed at studying in a different location to understand the work culture there and maybe pick up a few points of academics along the way.
It was 12 in the night and I was going through the case study due for the lectures next day. It was the last couple of lectures of Organisational Behaviour Course the next day and till now we were taught about group dynamics, influencing and group decision making, collaboration and negotiation, organisational culture and many such fancy terms. I was unsure whether I would be able to use any of these concepts after stepping into corporate life. Amidst these thoughts, my phone buzzed with an email from our professor stating that the last couple of lectures would be a simulation for the entire batch and all the 540 odd students have been divided into groups of 10 or 11. Till now my experience with simulations wasn’t very good, many of them were easily cracked by students leading to moderate grading and rest were too tricky leading to people randomly guessing and speculating the outcome. I assumed that this would also be like either one but why it was a group task was still out of my wit. A lot of questions were popping in my head but I decided to go with the flow and went to sleep.
Om. Patanjali Ayurved Limited (PAL). This name needs no introduction. There is no denying the fact that The stalwarts of the FMCG industry are perplexed and thrilled by the stupendous rate at which the company is growing. In terms of revenue, PAL has already surpassed Dabur, a century old FMCG company and is all set to bring down Hindustan Unilever (HUL), to become the leading FMCG company of the country within the next two years.
