Marico's Next Gen - Dibyendu's FMCG Dream, PPO And More

Marico's Next Gen - Dibyendu's FMCG Dream, PPO And More

Being a sales and marketing enthusiast, Dibyendu Majumdar was sure that he wanted to join the FMCG sector. But joining just any company under the FMCG umbrella wasn’t his aim. He wanted to intern at one of the most coveted companies in the sector - Marico Limited. He tells us why it was always Marico for him. “Firstly, it is one of the fastest growing FMCG companies in India offering good career growth prospects. Secondly, it’s culture of propagating boundarylessness, transparency & openness makes it an attractive proposition. Thirdly, it is surely reassuring to know that at Marico, there are no ‘employees’, but only ‘members’, which speaks volumes about their company culture of moving forward with employees as equal partners towards a common goal. Finally, it’s an organization where there are ample opportunities for the younger generation and roles are designed with a focus on empowerment and flexibility to provide a conducive and efficient working environment.” These factors definitely heightened his interest in the company.

The Most Awaited Day For The Batch Of 2016-18 At IIM Ranchi

The Most Awaited Day For The Batch Of 2016-18 At IIM Ranchi

The first hint that our seniors, particularly the Alumni and International Relations Committee of IIM Ranchi, gave us about the grand get-together for the batch of 2016-18, was through a mail whose subject line was “TOP SECRET, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION”. There was also a pre-requisite mentioned in the mail: - to look HOT and SMOKING. This was enough to raise the excitement levels in our hearts to the levels of sky and sustain it throughout the week. I am not so sure about the guys but almost every girl that I met during the entire week spoke about what to wear and what not to wear. The discussions on the colour, type, fabric of the dress, the accessories to be worn seemed to go on for eternity. One thing that I knew for sure, which applied well to both the genders was that the event was yet another great opportunity for people who were 'Single and ready to Mingle'. A wonderful opportunity to see your crush in a dashing attire and be crushed all over again.

The Superhero Movie Overkill - Abhishek, XLRI Jamshedpur

The Superhero Movie Overkill - Abhishek, XLRI Jamshedpur

By all accounts, Batman vs Superman : Dawn of Justice was a two and a half hour long tedious, overblown, convoluted mess. Critics universally derided the film and the fans' reaction was mixed at best. It was directed by Zach Snyder who, having desecrated the Superman mythos once before, did an even worse job this time. Despite all this, it made 872 million dollars. This is because there is no way a movie called Batman vs Superman won't make a ton of money - and therein lies the problem.

Not An Engineer But In IIM Nagpur - The Many Roads To An MBA - Saumya Ranjith

Not An Engineer But In IIM Nagpur - The Many Roads To An MBA - Saumya Ranjith

CAT attempts were getting tougher and tougher for me, once I started with my professional career as one gets to spend very less time to prepare and competition increases each year.  Weekends were the only time when I really used to prepare and if at all sometime during the weekday (though it was very rare) .The quant section as it is presumed to be engineer’s kingdom was definitely a challenging one for me. So, my preparation strategy was kind of skewed to quant more but definitely not completely neglecting the verbal and LR DI section because I have had times during my mocks when I scored poorly in my strong area i.e. verbal. So, I made it a point to give all sections its due attention. Leave aside everything,  yes! The feeling is exceptional when you bell the CAT and for me the feeling was a level higher because it came when it was least expected. Patience pays off – the first lesson learnt !
