MBA is an intensive course where a typical day contains 6 hours of classes, 6 hours of preparation for those classes and 4 hours of completing the assignments. Even after this, I have to find time for club activities and hobbies. If I am lucky, I get 5 hours of sleep a day. Over a period, the routine can become tiring of not for the beauty of Shillong. Living in a place with incessant showers, cold breezes and beautiful views helps one to relax from the rigor of the course. The sunny mornings with a clear blue sky and the misty evenings are a treat to watch every day. Picturesque places like Cheerapunji and Dawki are 2 hours drive away.
Hence, for me, IIM Shillong is one of the best things that has happened to me, and I am glad that faith brought me here.
Which ABG company would I want to work for and why?
I would want to work with Idea Cellular. Telecom sector has become very competitive since the entry of Jio with its predatory pricing. Idea Cellular has merged with Vodafone to survive and prosper in this competitive environment. To win the telecom war, companies will require the innovation on the part of employees, and I want to one among the many to brainstorm and come with strategies to help Idea Cellular defend and capture the market share. This will be an opportunity to test me against the best in the business. Also, it will be a great learning experience to work in an industry where profit margins have fallen, and three giants are competing to capture the market.
