How would you react if you were to navigate a Sales & Marketing internship from home? Now imagine that internship being part of the alternate vehicle sector, in the midst of a country-wide lockdown. This year, many companies took the difficult decision of deferring/canceling internships promised to students. However, many others like Mahindra kept their promises, allowing their interns to join them albeit virtually. It was a situation no one had foreseen, but Mahindra quickly modified the projects that were given to their interns back in January, so that they could be completed within a virtual setup.
It's undeniable that the current economic & social situation has accelerated the need for upskilling.

The workplace of today has changed. From newer technologies coming in everyday adapting becomes a vital part of any workplace. And for a workplace to thrive it is important to have cohesion. One such aspect where cohesion is absolutely essential is to bridge the generational gap in an organization. People from different age groups come and join a big organization. And with this diverse age group coming in a workplace, there are certain adjustments that an organization needs to make from the bottom up. As a manager, how would you make sure that this happens seamlessly? How would you make sure that every employee that is there in your organization is on the same page and respects the talent that everybody brings to the table?
Let’s get straight to the point – 2020 has been a mess, and every b-school student would agree. Rather than work round the clock in their gorgeous MBA campuses (ahh IIM Kozhikode, you beauty), students are stuck at home, sitting suited up in front of their laptops and attending corporate presentations. The question is - does an offline MBA match the rigor/fun/feel of an online MBA? I was as intrigued as you, so I reached out to the students of the best b-schools of India and asked them to share their experience of online MBA.
