Haven’t we all seen those Wall Street or Dalal Street movies and awed at the characters and their smart, calculative moves? Or read about Warren Buffet’s simple rules of investment and thought that “Well, I could do this”. Or heard yelling and commotion in their heads while picturing a stock market trading floor?
So, you slogged through torturous graduation years to land up on the much-needed job and had a moment of contentment. Soon enough, you start slogging through the office as well and realise that this is not the scene you imagined or wanted at all. A lot of us feel stuck with our current job profiles and it seems almost impossible to somehow shift to a more interesting role. You may try applying to such roles through online platforms but that takes you to another level of realisation. A single reply after showing interest in a thousand openings and interview calls are as scarce as a pink rhinoceros. Let alone the selection process in which you hardly stand a chance against people having some background. Then your career baba friend tells you to go for an MBA to get rid of all your miseries. But still a doubt rings in your head, “how exactly am I going to rub away my past and have a rebirth in the B-School?”.

Is an MBA really worth it? Where does the MBA degree take you in your career? What are the chances that even after an MBA, you may end up in a mediocre job?

On a broader view, platforms like Amazon, Zomato, Swiggy etc. are solving the same problem of logistics and providing convenience as an experience to the end-user. Undoubtedly, Amazon is a world leader in online delivery; they have mastered in managing logistics and providing excellent customer service even in India. Adding to it is Amazon’s excellent loyalty program “Prime” that could be a game-changer, as it also provides several other benefits to users (a huge bundle of services). Amazon has successfully implemented its pantry business in India, and this success could be a big boost before food delivery launch in India. So given their experience, efficient processes, their loyalty program and their deep pockets, they could be a big threat to Swiggy & Zomato in food delivery business in India.
These days, thanks to COVID 19, you have lots of things to listen to. Too many, infact. Audio stories, audio books, podcasts, there’s a lot of material out there to help you grow and learn. Here’s the thing though, there’s 2 types of people. Ones who listen to podcasts (and audio stories); and ones who don’t.

Bonus - if you’re an MBA aspirant, we’ve also noted down a special podcast to help you prep for VA-RC! Check them out!
Waiting eagerly for the lockdown to end? Feeling a little restless? Do you need a big dose of the “chill pill”? Don't worry, we've got you covered! Apart from binging on content from Netflix, Amazon Prime and other streaming channels, you are probably wondering what more is left! Well, have you tried our Konversation Cafe episodes?
Now, as there is some certainty over the lifting of lockdowns, there are many unanswered questions. When will my college resume? How will placements be affected? Should I stick to my career trajectory? And what not? I would like to briefly (Word Limits) touch upon a few points that will help you build on and ease your hunt for these answers.
