IIM Sirmaur - The Road Gladly Taken

IIM Sirmaur - The Road Gladly Taken

June 2016, Kolkata. As I was going through the contents of an e-mail that I had just received, notifying me of my final selection at IIM Sirmaur, I knew my life was about to take a turn. A turn for the better, hopefully. It’s been two months since I have joined the Post Graduate Programme at IIM Sirmaur, and all the skepticism about joining a “baby IIM” has already vanished into thin air. Opportunities galore. If you ask me to capture in words the most striking element of being a part of a new institute I’ll say it is the plethora of opportunities that one here has access to. You initiate things, see them grow and take pride in their existence. Be it a cultural event or a literary competition, a marketing club activity or something that the finance club does – the world of opportunity here only gets bigger by the day. When something you create assumes grand proportions, the joy and the sense of ownership it brings along is unparalleled. After all, you don’t follow a trend. YOU SET IT!

The Many Roads To An MBA - From SRCC To IIM Nagpur - Swati Jindal

The Many Roads To An MBA - From SRCC To IIM Nagpur - Swati Jindal

Travelling with my family, I remember my parents asking us mental maths questions and we competing to be the first to get the correct answer. Questions involving figuring out how much money to give and how much change you would get back, calculating the price for a quarter or a half when the price for a kg was quoted, estimating the area of a room and other logical reasoning questions. Flair for numbers thus developed in me right from childhood.
