Growing up, I remember watching those old Bollywood films in which either the father (or in case of his absence), the mother of the protagonist would feel small and indebted to the jeweller or landlord because of the huge amount of loan he/she would have taken. I'd always think to myself - can't people do with what they have? Why should they borrow money in the first place?
Over the past two weeks, I have been receiving a lot of queries from fellow aspirants on different aspects of their preparation for CAT. While there were some questions unique to the individual, other questions were quite common. I believe the entire aspirant community can benefit from these questions and that's why I am penning down this post.
We often get pigeonholed as the FinGod, the Marketing Dude, the Ops Geek, etc on campuses. But understanding a business holistically is pivotal to long-term professional success. That is why Business Strategy is such an important component of the MBA curriculum. Here we look at the new love-child of Finance and Technology - Fin-Tech companies - through the lens of business strategy. So what is the Survival Mantra for Fin-Tech Companies? We have, Prof Venkatramanan Krishnamurthy from MICA, narrating the journey of startups like Paytm and MobiKiwk in an under-banked country, travelling from the euphoria of demonetization to the sobering effects of a massive challenge mounted by telecom heavyweights. Is there a way for these companies to survive the harsh realities of the business world without a viable business model? Do they have a feasible 'Business Strategy'?

The MHRD quite recently extended the term of Prof. Janat Shah as the director of IIM Udaipur for a period of 5 years (2017-2022). This makes him the first director of one of the younger IIMs to get the extension. It also speaks of the consistency that IIM Udaipur can expect over its growth from being a newborn to one of the top b-schools in the world.
