What Is Your Reason For An MBA?

The biggest drawback of the Indian mentality is evaluating every decision with a pure tangible return on investment. Unfortunately, this also extends to the education system and the decisions we make related to education. MBA is the most prominent victim of this mentality. With even the B-Schools succumbing to this undeterred Indian mentality by making placement statistics their unique selling point and also inflating them using a lot of creativity, it has become a norm to look at the MBA decision from the pure perspective of how much the starting salary will be after 2 years vis-a-vis what it is right now.

The Story Of My Life - How I Decided To Do An MBA

This one is a rather emotional piece for me. A story. The story of my life so far, career-wise at least. If you have been reading my articles and have enjoyed at least some of them, then I am thankful to you. At least some of them might have been helpful to you at some point, I hope. This one isn't a direct one like the others. But I am sure some of it will stick with you once you read it and come back to you at some point in time in your life. Even if it doesn't I promise you it will be a story worth reading.

It’s about believing in people and building trust in them. While some say that it is fiction, I believe even fiction work is real in the mind of the author and of course, in the head of the readers. So, I leave that decision to the discretion of the readers.

What Female Business Students Should Be Ready For

What Female Business Students Should Be Ready For

While it’s true that more women than ever are succeeding in business, the fact remains that we, women, face a very different landscape to their male counterparts. Equality has come on in leaps and bounds over the past few years, but in many parts of the world, and many industries, women are yet to be seen as equally capable as men, especially since a large percentage of people you'll have to do business with are men. While this should not put you off pursuing a career in the world of business, it’s certainly something to take into account. The goal of this story/article is to give a perspective to young women in studying of what they will have to deal in the future, based on the accumulated experience of several female businesswomen and corporate workers, including myself. You can start preparing for this now by asking yourself a few questions:

Should Brands Hitch Their Wagons To #DeleteFacebook?

In his inimitable, pugnacious style, maverick billionaire Elon Musk recently took down the Facebook pages of both SpaceX and Tesla, seemingly in response to an arbitrary tweet that challenged him to ‘be the man’. Aside from the fact that teams and/or individuals looking after these pages were left red-faced, this incident has also sparked a lively debate about whether brands should also hitch their wagons to the #DeleteFacebook movement.
