Ridhima Arora is a typical 90s kid who after a good board result was told by the well-wishers to opt for a B.Tech and then go for an MBA. While she was clueless why she opted for B.Tech like many engineers in our country, she looks at her MBA journey as a step towards starting her own business from scratch. A health scare to her father forced her to quit her corporate job and made her spend some time with him in the hospitals. It was here that she thought of a business idea that would not only become a success story but will pave the way for her passion of establishing a business of her own.

We all have seen the lucrative placement figures that the B-schools project at the end of the placement season. But very few talk about the actual cost of the MBA or advertise it in big bold letters. Is it just the tuition fee and some other semester fee that you need to pay which can be said to be the real cost of an MBA, or there is more to it? Kunj Sanghvi, the COO of InsideIIM and an MBA himself, breaks down the real cost of MBA in this episode of The Ambitious Indian.
Tech adoption has increased 5 folds due to the pandemic. That coupled with the internet revolution is increasingly fueling the demand for Product Managers for digital products in India.

A small town girl from a village near Varanasi, Anuradha Srivastava has battled challenges difficult for most to imagine. A week before her JEE, her mother fell severely ill. While supporting her mother's well-being not just a week before the exam but even months before it, Anuradha could not go for coaching. Through self-preparation, she cleared BIT Sindri in her first attempt. Unfortunately, during the second year of her engineering, Anuradha lost her mother.
I recently told a friend that I learned more from case competitions than I did in most of my classes put together. Of course, that sentence is laced with a little bit of smug hyperbole, but the premise is largely sound – case competitions have taught me many of the things an MBA programme is supposed to teach you – applying theoretical concepts to a real-world problem, evaluating a given situation along every possible dimension, even in the absence of complete information, making sharp, concise presentations, and of course, doing all of this against a short deadline with a thousand other things to do. Reaching the finale of IIM Bangalore’s Numero Uno from among 1800 participants gave me a serious case of the imposter syndrome – the other presentations were simply so much better. Their analysis was so much deeper, the tools they used so much more sophisticated. I was stunned when my name was announced as the winner, but less so when the judges gave the reasoning. “The problem,” they said, “is that you have gotten so deep into the analysis that you forgot to apply 360 degree common sense solutions to a business problem.” That, I realized, I could do. Winning NITIE’s Enpower 3.0 competition (with my dearest friends Suyash Kumar and Utkarsh Nagar), coming third in IIM Indore’s Management Studio, and winning IIM Calcutta’s OpsWorld competition told me that there was something I was doing right. Hence the desire to pen down this article, with some of my learnings.
InsideIIM had launched the Professor Of The Year Competition this year, where we recognize the efforts that various B-School professors throughout the country have put in to ensure that their students are not left behind and continue to meet their potential and achieve great things. We asked MBA students of the current batches in 2021 to nominate their favorite professors on campus for the title of 'Professor of The Year' as a small token of gratitude for professors.
