The Special Breed of Chartered Accountant MBAs in India - Story I - Hemanshu Chokhani

In our special series covering Chartered Accountants who also took the MBA plunge, we speak to 3 CA MBAs and hear their story. For those pursuing a PGDM or an equivalent in India, it was entering a world dominated by engineers. And that is probably what makes them more desirable for recruiters. IIM Bangalore calls CA Merit rankers and IIM Indore gives special points for being a Chartered Accountant as a part of the diversity drive. CAs have been and will always remain in demand at most top management institutions.

Football club finances - Part 2 - On InsideIIM's Knowledge Cafe

Football club finances - Part 2 - On InsideIIM's Knowledge Cafe

Revenues In the last post, a comparison of Real Madrid’s revenues with corporate giants made club football look like a cottage industry. However, we hadn't looked at Revenue per employee and now that we have the data, we find that the big clubs do redeem themselves. In revenues per employee, the comparison with Apple is misleading and should be omitted. This is because Apple, in its operations, behaves like a design company– they design ipads whose components are actually manufactured by ARM, Samsung etc. and assembled by Foxconn in China. The people in the Chinese sweatshops aren’t being counted as employees of Apple, but their contribution is being reflected in Apple’s revenues. The revenue per employee, is therefore, artificially inflated.

Mera State Mahaan - Regionalism at IIMs

Mera State Mahaan - Regionalism at IIMs

One of the amazing aspects about business schools in India is regional diversity. In the clamour around less number of women and lack of non-engineer perspective in the classroom, one good thing that goes completely unnoticed is the excellent regional diversity in an Indian classroom. I doubt if many countries in the world can boast of such diversity within a nation’s borders. One of the highlights of my 2-year PGP programme at IIM Indore was observing in my batch of 240 how people from different parts of India would react when faced with the same situation. It’s a great study and one learns to appreciate different kinds of behaviour.
