In the run-up to the International Women’s Day on 8th March, Team InsideIIM urged women and men in management to tell their personal stories about their understanding of the various elements around gender equality, the revolutionary ‘Me Too’ movement, and other crucial events pertinent to the struggles of women in this world. Here is what they have to say.
The Strategy of ‘Kuaizi’ is perhaps the game changer for the emerging business collaboration between India and China. While the comparative advantages of both the nations and rise of global protectionism are two of the drivers presenting promising prospects, the Indian market is shuddered by the scarcity of human resources, skilled and competent enough to catalyse the business relations between the two nations. As of now, the presence of companies such as Cheetah Mobile, We-Chat, Alibaba and a few of its subsidiaries in India is grappling with high attrition rates. The churn at the senior level has either disbanded entire teams in cases like Cheetah Mobile or downsized teams to half in cases like WeChat, Alibaba, and UCWeb. (As reported ET Times, November 2018). Here lies the impetus of what can be termed as the Strategy of ‘Kuaizi’.
I have been a crazy fan of the game of Cricket since my childhood. Encouraged by my father who introduced me to the game, many instances in the game have been lifelong lessons that I still continue to imbibe in my life. From the centuries of Sachin Tendulkar to the fiery spells of Brett Lee, each of them had a lesson to offer. But, one of those that stands out to this day is one that I learnt from Adam Gilchrist. This acrobatic wicket-keeper who doubled as an explosive opening batsman belonged to a generation of Australian players who were infamous for the myriad of controversies they were involved in. But, he stood out of all of them. In a pack of wolves, he seemed to exude the calmness of a monk and above all highest levels of integrity and sportsmanship.
In today’s scenario, the term “Indian IT Male” has turned out to be a category in itself. The Indian IT sector is a leader when it comes to technology and business services and is also the biggest employer for Indian technology professionals. Indian IT professionals work with the world’s leading organizations not only to support their business and technology processes but also help them in fulfiling their business goals.
"When you venture outside and step out of your comfort zone, that is the time when you really discover yourself and realize your true potential." I am out on an expedition and NITIE is another beautiful part of this journey. Travelling has transformed the way I conduct myself and every journey further shapes me into a better human being. This is possible because of the various dimensions associated with travelling. As a tourist, one often tends to overlook these dimensions, but a traveller tries to explore as many dimensions as he can.
When one is at his threshold of B-School life, he writes about his experiences. This isn’t really going to be a pointer to debunking myths surrounding ‘’baby’’ IIMs – a term I despise, or about my ‘shattered dreams’ or a desperate attempt to penetrate through a student’s consideration set, but a candid confession from my end – about IIM Bodh Gaya and my experiences – my institute to which I owe so much, the kind which you wouldn’t find on B-Leaks.
