Success Is 10% luck, 20% Skill, 15% Concentrated Power Of Will, 5% Pleasure, 50% Pain, And 100% Reason To Remember The Name' - Indrasis Roy, IIM Shillong - Best30 - Class Of 2019

Indirasis Roy's career has been built on the lines of the three major principles of Dedication, Determination and Innovation. The first part of his life was shaped by Don Bosco School, Liluah as it inculcated the values and made him the person he is today. The next part began with the interest in Electronics as he joined Heritage Institute of Technology to gather the knowledge in innovation and amalgamation of the ideas to build, to rise! The turning point in his life was when he was selected to go for a research internship at New Jersey Institute of Technology followed by the mystique and glory of Defence Research and Development Organization, India where the journey taught him the importance of people management and development in a holistic sense that would add significant value to himself. He got his first big breakthrough when he realized his aim to pursue a career in management and decided to join the prestigious IIM fraternity! Building his career over the years with the same principles, and moving ahead by spearheading in competitions, he added several accolades to his credit including the National Finalist of Mahindra War Room Season 11.

'I May Not Be The Bestselling Author But I Am A More Patient, Wiser, And A More Perceptive Person' - Aakash Saxena, IIM Shillong - Best30 - Class Of 2019

'I May Not Be The Bestselling Author But I Am A More Patient, Wiser, And A More Perceptive Person' - Aakash Saxena, IIM Shillong - Best30 - Class Of 2019

Aakash Saxena was born and raised in New Delhi, but in the last ten years, he has lived all over the country. Even after spending so much time away from home, he always looks forward to going back. He loves spending time with his family (big shout out to Mom, Dad and Sammy!). Every experience that he has had with different people, cultures, and languages has left him a little wiser than before. Those very experiences are, in a considerable way, responsible for shaping the way he thinks about businesses, and more specifically finance. He maintains a blog, Minimum Sigma (www.minimumsigma.com), the essence of which is that a retail investor should primarily manage risk in personal finances before worrying about returns. Even though he is a Finance Major, he has done well in many aspects of business education; he was Amazon Ace Champion in Operations case study, Mahindra Warroom Gold-tier in a Brand Management case study, and Tata Steel-a-thon National Finalist in a CSR case study. Very recently, he has also made it to the National Finals of Reliance Industries’ The Ultimate Pitch, a business pitch competition which is scheduled for the middle of February. Even though he is not much of a contemplator, he still lives by the belief that be it finance or life; the most rewarding things are discipline and consistency.

Why I Didn't Call My Parents For My Convocation

Why I Didn't Call My Parents For My Convocation

My MBA was the first time I stepped out of my home and my city. After a few months of teething troubles, I relished this freedom to recreate and nurture my identity without the shadow of parents, relatives and even friends looming over me. A Gujarati boy from a conservative family and a school/college gang of friends very similar in upbringing to himself, suddenly found that he could be anyone he wanted to on this campus.
