MAHANTESH S GOUDAR

I am studying MBA at IIM Ranchi. I am an avid reader and love to write on anything that catches my eyes and picks my brain. I'm featured in newspapers like Telegraph and Deccan Herald. My articles and stories have been published on InsideIIM and other reputed sites. An artist? Yes. I am also a teetotaler, a tad bit asocial and a failed hockey player. I have an immense interest and curiosity in art, literature, philosophy and also love to discuss on the same. Movies like "Into the wild" and "Goodwill Hunting" inspire my thoughts. I am pragmatic and a rational atheist who neither imposes his views on others nor likes to be imposed upon by others.

Thank you

This is something that i can relate to myself and I have concluded that MBA is not my cup of tea. I find this Ikigai in programming and perhaps its fine for me. If u works for 10 hours on something and still u have the same enthusiasm then thats your ikigai

Yeah. Ikigai is more about discovering what you love to do. My idea was to apply the framework to make decision to choose MBA. You found your ikigai in coding. One can apply it to anything and get the reason for being :) In the end all that matters is - are you doing the same thing that is same as your reason for being.
