Ever wondered what a media company feels like to work with? Well, I too have always been curious about the Media industry and how these media houses function. While doing my post-graduation from MICA- The Mecca of Marketing, I got to live this opportunity to intern with HT media, one of the biggest & oldest Media companies in India.
Not everyone understands this, but Product Managers are powerful people. Imagine that you're a Product Manager. You change one button on your app, it impacts the behaviour of millions of users. You launch a brand new feature for your product, it's now trending on Twitter. Essentially, with every decision you take, you wield the power to control how people interact with the virtual world. "With great power comes great responsibility." Thinking of Spider-Man? Think again - we're talking about a Product Manager's job description. And with such tremendous power comes - you guessed it - an equally tremendous paycheque. Working with Flipkart as a PM? Don't miss the chance to flaunt that you're earning a median base salary of ₹ 28 lakhs. Microsoft's your dream company? Kaching! Start making plans to spend all of that ₹ 25 lakhs you're about to make this year. Facebook has asked you to come in for an interview for a PM role in their US office? Don't be shocked when they mention the $250,000 paycheque. By the way, these numbers haven't been conjured from thin air - these are all actual salaries Product Managers have reported earning. So there's money, there's power, and there's a chance to work with the biggest companies in the whole wide world. What's missing? We'll tell you - Guidance. Product Management sounds great, but is it your calling? What happens behind the scenes in the life of a PM? Is it as rosy as we've just made it sound? The only way to know is if you get guidance from someone who is already where you want to be, and this is where we step in. We are excited to present to you Product Management 101 - a 3 day intensive workshop with the Amsterdam based Ellora Nath who is a Senior Product Manager at Booking.com.
Imagine getting an opportunity to be on the summer placement hotlist of an FMCG behemoth like Nestle, even before you enroll in your B-school! Fascinating right?
Are you starting b-school soon? Maybe you’re starting your new job? Or perhaps, you lost an internship or job offer and are looking for something else? Maybe you’re feeling the uncertainty, the fear, the pressure that we all seem to feel at this time thanks to COVID 19? Perhaps you’re struggling with a virtual relationship due to social distancing. Maybe you’re worried if you’ll still land a summer internship offer once b-school starts. Or maybe, you’re just feeling overworked, overwhelmed and confused. Tough times bring out stress, anxiety, frustration in spades. At InsideIIM, we’re feeling it too. Which is why we bring a FREE, LIVE webinar with 2 Counselling Psychologists from iCALL, TISS. Hosted by Ankit Doshi, Creator of InsideIIM, here’s how you can ask questions about how to deal with the anxiety, fear, uncertainty and anything that’s affecting your mental well being right now! Fill this form and register to join the webinar on 9th July, Thursday at 7 PM.
We are back with Konversations Cafe! This time online.

Due to COVID-19, there is a high probability that the MBA for incoming students will be online, at least for the first few months. For second-year MBA students, it's already confirmed. For now, we don’t know what the future of MBA will be. We're stuck with the virtual mode of education, at least until there is a cure for COVID-19, and it's possible that virtual education might just continue even after that. So, what do we do? Either complain that “Online MBA will take away the essence of MBA” or master this new form of education and become pioneers of the future. If you choose the latter, then here are the 6 ways you can get the best of your MBA going online. If you're currently in the middle of your MBA, or have just converted your calls and are going to be joining your b school soon (albeit virtually), this video is a must-watch for you!
IIFT has released the final placement report for the MBA batch of 2020! This final placements season at IIFT was tremendously successful, with 107 recruiters hiring from the institute.
