A Journey of Endeavor and Excellence with ABG | Sai Krishnan T, IIFT

In our journey towards achieving our goals, we all face challenges which we need to overcome through dedication, hard work, and perseverance. Some of the most prominent leaders such as Mr. Ghanshyam Das and Vikram Das have shown us what it takes to build a conglomerate as big as the Birla empire in India by bracing against all odds. A quote by Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam has had the biggest influence on my life – “Dream is not that which you see while sleeping it is something that does not let you sleep.” And my dream was always to get into one of the top B-schools of the country. This was easier said than done. My journey towards achieving this dream started when I was pursuing my engineering. Before pursuing an MBA I wanted to gather work experience from a reputed firm that will help me understand the nuances of how an organization works. A few months into work was when I decided to start preparing for the MBA entrance examinations. Things started to get tough, as the job was demanding and consumed most of the time, there were times when I felt like giving up but the dream of pursuing a prestigious MBA kept me awake during nights preparing meticulously for the examinations. The weekends were consumed by classes and tests which took a toll on my social life and giving me hardly any time to unwind myself. But all these challenges which I was facing made me stronger by the day and taught me important life lessons on how to prioritize things daily, how to utilize time most optimally and how to sacrifice certain things to achieve the bigger goal. The hard work paid off when I performed well in the entrance examinations and was called for interviews with several prestigious colleges in the country. The day finally arrived when the results were out and I was selected for the MBA program at IIFT, Delhi. On 24th June 2019 when I was joining the program the words “IIFT Bhawan” right at the main gate welcomed me warmly. This was when I could reflect upon all the tough grind and challenges, I had to overcome to stand here. It instilled the belief in me that we must never give up on our ambitions and keep trying sincerely until we achieve them.
