IIM Indore has been in the news for various reasons. We managed to convince Prof.Ravichandran, Director of IIM Indore to do a Google Hangout with us!
Those of you who balk at doing a foreign MBA should meet Rishub Jhunjhunwala. This HKUST grad from the batch of 2012 is now Associate Director at Standard Chartered Bank, Mumbai. A dizzyingly fast rise, if you consider that he had just completed the BMS program from Jai Hind college in 2006. He is a great example of what a foreign MBA can do for you. It can open doors that remain locked for local MBA graduates. Of course, it is expensive, and it is not easy to get in, you need top notch credentials, and Rishub's CFA qualification and would have gone a long way in helping him stand out among the pool of applicants. Not everyone can complete their CFA before even applying to B school, but the broader lesson here is that if you have a career plan and execute accordingly, and if you are willing to spend a little bit extra, the rewards to a foreign MBA from a top B school can be fantastic. In our third article featuring HKUST, (read the introduction to HKUST here and interview with executive director of the MBA program) we bring to you an interview with Rishub Jhunjhunwala.
This is the second installment of our interview with Adam Pervez - volunteer, traveler, writer and MBA grad. (Read the first part here).

He quit his comfortable job with Siemens Wind Power, Denmark (paying a six-figure salary) before deciding to follow his passions - travelling, and giving back to society. The HappinessPlunge and the Happy Nomad Tour - an 18 month tour of the world is the result of his initiative to travel and volunteer around the world with the objective of leaving each place better than how it was when he found it. He writes regularly for the Huffington Post. He has also written for The Economist and been featured on BusinessWeek.
