Symbiosis Institute of Business Management (SIBM) is an ecologically friendly campus, nestled on top of a hill in the most picturesque setting at Lavale, Pune. Its location insulates it from the noise of the city, facilitating a tranquil academic ambience.
SIBM is a constituent of Symbiosis (Deemed University), and prides itself on being one among the nation’s top business schools. Students with diverse backgrounds and profiles undergo a rigorous assessment process before they get to call SIBM their home.
Each day spent at SIBM is an absolute delight as students get to feast their eyes on spectacular panoramas. The campus is dotted with strategically designed observation decks which present a view of the remarkable sights the luxuriant flora puts on display in conjunction with the capricious weather of Pune. The place abounds with biodiversity spread all around it. One may witness a peacock dancing in the lawns after a drizzle as well as a snake scrawling its way into the woods.
The campus is shared by students belonging to diverse streams of management which facilitates a healthy social interaction and promotes the augmentation of the social skills of future leaders. The campus also plays host to several foreign students which helps foster bonhomie among them, and goes a long way in furthering Symbiosis’ ideal – Vasudhaiva Kuttumbakam, which translates to ‘The World Is One Family’. It’s a rarity to find such a diverse mix of students from various countries sitting and studying under the same roof.
SIBM is one of the rare colleges which follow a student driven culture. As corporates demand an in-depth understanding of how to carry out various functions in real time situations, at the same time adhering to corporate laws and work ethics. A student-driven culture implies that most of the critical roles and responsibilities lie in the hands of the students themselves, which helps in inculcating a sense of in-depth analysis of situations in various dimensions and foster a better end-to end understanding of various processes involved in the same.
In addition to having a one-dimensional approach to education with regard to graduation, it is imperative to have an all-round development of an individual, both academically and socially.
SIBM has remarkable credentials when it comes to discharging its responsibilities towards the society – it has adopted several villages in its vicinity which benefit from its social welfare programmes. The students and the faculty members show active participation in ameliorating the living conditions at these places.
I feel elated to be a part of such an institution of grandeur, excelling in its field and inculcating the best characteristics in its students to make them adroit leaders of the future.
Which ABG Company you would like to work with?
The conglomerate conspicuously endorses diversity with employees of 43 nationalities working together under it. From education to retail, its presence is ubiquitous. The group has successfully placed itself as the forerunner in many industries. However, if given a chance, I would like to work with its Fashion and Retail unit, Pantaloons.
I have had a long connection with the retailer and have witnessed its growth under ABG. I believe I can leverage my business acumen for its holistic development. My personal goals are aligned with that of the company so I believe I am culturally fit to be its part.
