Your student life is going to end soon, but you’re clueless about the future. Not sure whether to go for an MBA or join any company and get some work experience before going for MBA?
You think you know all about life until you enter an MBA college. There are few words that can encapsulate that overwhelming realization of the number of diverse paths which exist. It is quite a culture shock for some, how the tiny things we take for granted don’t have any space in the lives of others. There are North Indians unable to tell the difference between various South Indian languages, Engineers who tilt their heads in confusion while in conversations with the students of Accounts, 21-year olds fresh out of college learning alongside experienced people.
The official definition of ownership bias goes something like this – People value things more when they feel that they own it. It is also known as "The endowment effect" or "Divestiture aversion".

Bringing AI to the workforce would make it more productive and unbiased. But we would still need a human to take the result of the computations to the world which would suggest of a combination of AI and managers in the new hierarchy. Bringing AI to the workforce would also create new jobs and opportunities for us. At the end what Steve Jobs said sums it all up "The overall point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually, it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when colour came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment."

CEO. This 3 lettered acronym holds a myriad of emotions- be it power, respect, revolution or just some inspiration. In the world of business, we see people holding such positions as the trailblazers. People who not only inspire their employees but also their customers, clients and the society. One such prominent and profound name among them is Indra Nooyi, the first woman CEO of Pepsico which is the second largest food and beverage business in the world by net revenue.
It’s Monday, nope, it’s chest day, that is as long as last night’s assignment submission has not exhausted you. Dragging your half worked out calf muscles to the gym, carrying your hostel room keys in one hand and the once heavily used gym gloves in the other, you walk into an iron paradise.
