One of the major reasons that several people opt for an MBA is to network with people who would go on to hold eminent positions in the industry and the fact that IIM Shillong has a relatively smaller batch size goes a long way in achieving that. Among the several interns from different colleges that I met as part of my summer internship, I was the only one who knew the name and whereabouts of all my fellow PGP participants. I noticed that people knew and interacted with just 60-70 participants in their batch where the batch size was huge but it is only when the batch size is smaller that one takes the effort to get to know each of their batchmates.
Of-course these few points are nowhere close to describing the IIM Shillong experience but merely provide a glimpse into it.
Aditya Birla Group
Being a marketing enthusiast, I would love work for Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited if given an opportunity. Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited would offer me a chance to work for a brand that people directly interact with in their day to day lives. Managing brands such as Louis Philippe, Van Heusen, Peter England etc. through insights derived from interaction with various stakeholders and my learnings as part of the MBA curriculum is something that would truly excite me. The hundreds of cases I have gone through during the classes will help me get a head-start in understanding and analyzing the market dynamics and reacting to them through appropriate short-term and long-term strategies.
