Deloitte offered three roles for this year’s placement - MRM, Risk and Advisory and Management Consulting role (Technology). I was shortlisted and interviewed for the Management Consulting role.
It has been four months, since I came here to the God's Own Kampus. Living a fast-paced life since then, every day at K has been different from the previous one but some things have become a part of the daily routine like a ritual. Here is a glimpse of a day of first year student at IIM Kozhikode.
For economics, free lunch might not exist, but free riders at IIM who does everything slowly or most of the times nothing at all, at their own pace to the sneaky Kotler derivative who cries and dies for rules, let’s meet more specimen variety while forming groups, you find at an IIM than you found in your Biology Lab at school.
I am a first year student of M.A. in Human Resource Management and Labour Relations (HRM and LR) at Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai and this is a story of what an internship in a corporate can teach us about our own sense of importance and how the typical management school worries are just a matter of perspective.
Life at B-School is filled with fun, challenges and great learning and the best thing that can happen to a graduate is that he gets a similar environment at his workplace. Capgemini’s E.L.I.T.E. Program has introduced me to a workplace that provides the most conducive environment to learn, grow and enjoy.
With less than a month for the Big Day, there are a lot of things that would be going through your mind. By this stage, everyone is more or less well versed with all the concepts and has taken a lot of practice tests in anticipation of getting better by the day. It is very natural if you have tried numerous strategies and are still trying out more. Moreover, it is even more natural if you are getting frustrated because your scores have stagnated or are even going down. The instinctive response to this situation is to start practicing more rigorously. But hold on. Here is the strategy I followed in the last mile (month) to the CAT.
Students of IIM Indore had a wonderful time hosting L’orealOnCampus on 2nd November, 2017. The event brought out lots of learning opportunities in the areas of sales and marketing for the students from L’oreal leadership on campus. Some of the best industry leaders in the Sales and Marketing domain showed the students what awaited them once they finished their B- school education. The Sales workshop, for example, conducted by Mr. Vikram Gunjal(Head, Sales Planning, Consumer Products), busted a lot of myths people generally have about the kind of work that goes into Sales and the kind of personalities people generally assume are associated with Sales. The Marketing workshop, by Ms Shalini Raghavan (the Chief Marketing Officer of Consumer products), brought to light the changing trends among men about personal grooming and beauty, particularly face-wash, and through a live case study which sought solutions from students to increase overall penetration and creative, executable ideas for Garnier Men's face-wash. Students came up with interesting communication campaigns that addressed a variety of category-specific insights: a) Hesitation in using skin-care product b) Lack of face-wash consumption as a routine habit c) Men using face-wash similar to the one used by their sisters instead of specifically catering to them. The outcome : sharp, focused executable plans that were scalable and could be integrated into the current marketing strategy. It helped students understand the extent of research that goes into understanding new trends in the beauty industry and identifying them early-on in order to amplify awareness and stimulate growth in the product categories.
“Reserve Bank of India” – Whenever we say the name of India’s central bank, we feel proud that it is safeguarding all of us by taking care of monetary policies. I couldn’t even imagine the moment when I got selected for RBI’s summer placements program. I was on cloud nine to accept that wonderful opportunity.
