An important and literally a 'career-defining' question that keeps even the most brilliant college students awake at night is whether their diligence will lead to good placements. Unfortunately, for the students inclined towards the opposite end of that extreme, the current placement scenario in India results in the elimination of approximately 50% of the students after the general aptitude round itself. Another notable problem for them is that colleges in India have an archaic and unrevised curriculum. Industries today are rapidly evolving: newer technology is replacing the previous one continually. With the current curriculum in colleges not being up to date, students fail to acquire the requisite skills and hence encounter various hurdles in the initial phase of their jobs. With over 19 lakh engineers in the country, this skill gap makes a remarkable difference in the lives of students trying to make it big. Moreover, most programs that offer online self-learning courses of this type, such as MOOCs, lack interactive education process and/or fail to offer a personalized approach. Though there are various platforms out there on the web, they offer very little opportunity to the students to put the theoretical knowledge acquired into practice. Students often take up these courses and earn certification, only to forget in a couple of months what they had learnt in the first place.
Studies, assignments, presentations, projects, placements and what not… These two years are like a complete rigour package for an MBA student.

The adventure marketplace setup by kayaking enthusiasts and IIM alumni 2 years ago, has significantly changed the adventure scene in India. With the global vacation preferences transitioning from the conventional spots of cities and landmarks to more adventure-oriented experiences, the adventure travel industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 45% over the next 5 years. The beachside vacation or regular sightseeing holidays are losing its market to adventurous activities such as safaris, rock or mountain climbing, and deep-sea diving that induces a rich thrilling experience. Stepping in to ease the process of finding, booking and living the adventure without compromising on quality, safety and price have put Mojhi as one of the most sought-after adventure marketplaces in India. The journey over the past 2 years have been quite a roller coaster, being completely bootstrapped, Mojhi faced a lot of challenges in developing systems, building the right team and placing itself in a comfortable marketable spot. Co-founder, Greeshmanth says “It is really satisfying to see ourselves grow as a company. We started out in a small room as a team of 4 and today we have grown to a team of 50 in a full-fledged office!”. Carrying on the mission of “making adventure bookings as easy as possible”, Mojhi has now springboarded its operations in a new continent - Africa. The founders say “We chose Africa as our immediate next market since we saw a lot of similarities in what was lacking to India. Additionally, over 80% of the countries in Africa are known for a plethora of adventures they offer. This is a market where a model like Mojhi fits in perfectly and has the potential to make a symbolic impact.”
