Rahul Lakhotia has worked as a software engineer in Mindteck for a year after which he switched to Urbanclap as a category manager for around 9 months. He is an avid reader, a traveller, an adventurer and a food enthusiast. He scored 97% in XAT in 2020 and made it to XLRI Jamshedpur.
The first time we ever make a career decision is after class 10th, where we choose our field of Interest. But how many times have you heard this, "If you have good grades, then go for science. Commerce and Humanities are for losers."In today's feature, we have Advik who had an inclination toward finance and business at a very young age. But, when his parents, relatives, teachers and even his friends told him to choose Science, he said, "NO!" and thanks to that decision not only did he make it to IIM Indore but he also got an exciting role at Byte Dance. Advik's courage and the will to go against the "norm" landed him a place amongst India's Best-50 Most Employable MBA Graduates!
There are times when you are thrown into uncertain situations. And these moments could make or break you. While most of us will like to choose the "make" option, the hard work that goes behind 'making it' is immense. Today we bring you the story of a person who went for an exchange program to the US. The initial few months were a struggle because he was an Asian, a vegetarian and had a different educational background. In order to cope with the it all, he went above and beyond. During his last month, he was given the honour to be the ovation speaker on campus because of his achievements. His determination and never-say-no attitude found him a place amongst India's Best-50 Most Employable MBA Graduates!
Out of all the teachings and learning the world can offer, the knowledge of self is the most neglected. It's only in recent times where emotional intelligence and empathy are being talked about more frequently and openly. Humans are extremely emotional creatures. We act and react without understanding the consequences of our actions and reactions. So, instead of ignoring them or getting away with them, we should learn how to harness them for the good of self and community. Today, we have someone who is able to do exactly that. His exceptional knowledge of the self and ways of using it in a business context has found him a place amongst India's Best-50 Most Employable MBA Graduates!
The memories of my summer internship at ICICI Bank are vivid in my mind, even though it has been more than a month now since its completion.
The challenges and unique skill set required for banking and financial services industry has always excited and gained my attention. It was one of the primary areas I focused on during my under-graduation. It was no brainer that I chose finance as my focus area and paid extra attention to build strong fundamentals. When I heard that RBS is coming to campus for summer placements, I was nervous and excited at the same time, dreaming about the possibility of grabbing the golden opportunity to work as an intern for the prestigious company.
It is often said that the best way to learn something is through application. The summer internship is no different for an MBA student. My internship at Indus Valley Partners offered me the opportunity to learn more about financial markets, particularly the hedge fund industry. It was an enriching experience to get hands-on finance and technology and apply the skills learnt in classes at IIM Rohtak to real-world data. I worked as a business analyst intern on a portfolio management product which offered the clients to check the real-time updates of their portfolios in various industries.
It is rightly said that you must have a solid foundation stone if you are going to have a strong superstructure. I believe my summer internship at Capgemini has provided me with the base for my journey in the corporate world. Being a fresher makes it even more special and valuable experience. It gives me the confidence to chart my career path in the desired direction. Scoring high in the CAT and landing into a dream institute, I thought that I've won a battle. But as soon as I set my foot in college, I realized that it has just begun. All my batchmates excelled in several hard and soft skills. I knew the competition was going to be tough. Having such a diverse set of people around me helped me level-up my thinking process. The late-night debates in dorms on topics ranging from financial crisis to policy-making helped me in improving my communication skills and thought process,
