Sometimes all you need is an honest conversation with your senior and this video with Kartik Arora is just that. Kartik heads Sales and Operations (North & East India) for Forever 21, Aditya Birla Group. He'll take you through his engineering days in MIT to his short stint at Mahindra before he joined XLRI. His stories on clearing the dreaded finance paper, not laughing in a GD and being your honest self during your summer placement interview are great pieces of advice that will hold you in good stead when you're at the campus.
Tune in for a candid chat about campus life, XLRI and cracking summer placements.
Key Takeaways:
1. 70% of your MBA is done in your first year and it is a lot of struggle.

3. Preparation for summer placements starts the moment you get into b-school. Remember to carry your proofs and documents for all your CV points.
4. Whatever you do, don't laugh during a group discussion.
5. Understand yourself and what you want when shortlisting campuses for your summer internship.
6. Be prepared to discuss in detail everything you have put on your CV.
