At one hand management institutes which have decades of teaching experience in MBA, outstanding infrastructure, exceptional research and strong culture. On the other hand, I have the option to choose the blossoming IIMs.
At the blossoming IIMs, I forecasted a plethora of opportunities to carve the culture the way I want. I anticipate more opportunities, where I can become a founding member of new initiatives. I do not condemn the fact that such initiatives are also possible at historic IIMs, But I feel the growth rate is incremental and they have narrow scope for the new initiatives as they already have established culture and ecosystem. Which I feel is realistic. Not to mention that taking initiatives and shaping culture is is a really challenging task. Yes! That is why I live for. That is where I decided to be part of newer IIMs and want to challenge myself. Now let us see why it is IIM Tiruchirappalli.
I was keenly evaluating blooming IIMs. I was considering many factors such as infrastructure, publications, current research, mission and vision. Most of these IIMs have more scope for the opportunities I listed above. But, I observed that in terms of infrastructure, research and publications, these IIMs are in energizing state. I felt it will take few more years to have competitive infrastructure and ecosystem. But, I have two years left for my MBA!!. Now I need to draw the line between opportunities and supporting ecosystem. That is where I found the right balance.
I zeroed on Indian Institute of Management Tiruchirappalli.
Which ABG company would you want to work for and why?
I would like to work for Aditya Birla Retail Limited (more). With the growth in e-commerce, a shift in the consumer purchase preferences, strong competitors backed by foreign direct investments, cutthroat competition in this segment, I feel more has more opportunities and many more challenges. In the recent past years more has changed a lot by launching an online platform and changes in the customer experience at the store. But, I feel more need to be way ahead of its new competitors, especially in the e-commerce domain which is going to dominate in near future with it's higher CAGR. more, need to set up for rapid growth. I would like to be part & driving force of this rapid growth. I feel, more has a perfect ecosystem to challenge my self and to drive more ahead of competitors.
