International Immersion Program At IIM Visakhapatnam

It was a sunny morning, my first outside India. And as I woke up to open the windows of my hotel room, I could only feel a stream of hot air getting sucked inside penetrating my face. From “Why would people even live in this part of the world, let alone do business” to “Why would anyone, not want to do business here,” the International Immersion Program enlightened us about the practical aspects of business in the Middle East. Thanks to IIM Visakhapatnam and its faculties for facilitating such a course.

Unsure Of Your Career Path? Read This - Make The Most Of A Wrong Decision

We are defined by the choices that we make. Most of the times, these choices are made under a lot of uncertainty and hence there is no easy way of determining their outcome. Moreover, we are left in a catch-22 situation when we realise that the decision we made, wasn't the best and all we are left with is to rue the situation and keep contemplating about the 'what if' scenario. However, every dark cloud has a silver lining. And once we start looking beyond our disappointments, we might just be able to figure out how to make the most of such 'bad decisions' that we make.
