Why I Love XIMB

Why I Love XIMB

The Bhubaneswar heat, dripping shirts, perspiring thoughts, upholding conscious appearances but still unconscious among the melee, a new life about to begin, a journey yet to embark, lots of dreams to fulfill, lots of expectations to cover, uneasy glances, nervous smiles and many more. These were just a tint of the plethora of experiences I had as I entered the XIMB campus. My journey for this destination had come through a lot of rigors of CAT, XAT, the group discussions to the interviews but the first day I came into the campus I saw ‘The journey has just started’ logo printed on the finely engraved graffiti wall near the mess area. Excited as many were, I entered my hostel room, met my roommate and started to explore the campus. Situated right in the heart of the city the campus never failed to amaze me as it has lush greenery and the view from the top floor is practically amazing. There are lots of canteens and plenty of opportunities for a sports junkie like me to spend time around. Then came the seniors and their interactions some of which were overt while some being highly ‘covert’ and I had a fun time interacting with everyone around.

4 Of My Craziest Batchmates At XIMB

4 Of My Craziest Batchmates At XIMB

It’s hardly over a fortnight that we have stepped into this college, yet it seems like ages. Assignments, batch meets, case studies, presentations, group discussions, sports meets, cultural meet, quiz sessions, conclaves and what not! With each day seemingly passing off like an express train; life at XIMB has been till now a gruesome grooming session. Well, apart from academics and formal affairs, these tough curriculums did teach us a lot about networking and hence rendering us an escapade in the form of batch mates. People of diverse background, age groups, mentality, skill sets have come together this far; somehow messing it, missing it and managing it. So, here is a list of 4 batch mates among many who are certainly going to leave an imprint in my mind for years to come.

The Most Interesting Characters Of XIMB

The Most Interesting Characters Of XIMB

Siddhartha Malani - When I reached my room in XIMB I was greeted with a bunk bed, and a roommate already sleeping in it. Yes, it was Malani. When I found out he was from Delhi, I thought it was going to be a tough year living with a Delhiite. But Siddhartha proved me wrong, he's a great roommate who has a bit of OCD for cleaning but that works out great for me. In these few days we have managed to created a choreographed routine. I wake him up, he turns on the geyser, we get ready, and he grabs the shoes and runs to call the elevator while I lock the door and join him just before the elevator closes.

What Makes IIM I Unique? - Sanchit Goel

IIM Indore has situated 25 Km out of Indore city near Rau. The first thing anyone notices while arriving at the institute is the unique location of the campus. Situated on a solo hill, the campus can be seen from miles away and looks real beautiful at night when all is lighted up. Daily trekking up and down the stairs for the classes is an experience.

The ICICI Story - Pooja Dandapat, XIMB

The ICICI Story - Pooja Dandapat, XIMB

As I think about writing this piece, my mind immediately began to race among everything I could share from what I have learnt in past 2 months. I interned with ICICI bank in RSPPG group which is the Retail strategy group. As the peak summer of 2018 started, I landed in a place that has hypnotised every soul that has had a taste of it, Mumbai!! Upon arriving at magnificent ICICI's headquarter in BKC (Bandra-Kurla Complex), I was filled with mixed emotions, both of anxiety and excitement. The one-day induction showed us how ICICI bank began its journey, its DYNAMIC values and how they are putting efforts to revolutionise banking for people. There were multiple sessions taken by the industry heads and at the end, we had a grand dinner party along a poolside in the headquarter itself. This was a networking session, a great opportunity to meet many industry stalwarts and get to know their expectations of how we can contribute to an institution like ICICI.
