“For me, classroom coaching at GIM became a foundation on which to build new ideas. In today’s digital age, status quo in any field will make you obsolete. It is critical to constantly reinvent yourself and lend ingenuity to any project you lead. GIM’s open culture helped me think wide and bright and was an excellent platform to broaden my horizons to infinite possibilities.”
Sachin graduated when GIM was still operating out of the old campus at Ribandar; that he recollects as the epitome of serenity.
“But when I visited the new 50-acre campus at Saquelim, sprawled at the Sahyadri foothills, I was absolutely thrilled. GIM is an absolute star in its own right!”
Sachin is enjoying his time at Google; living on the cusp of technology and creativity at its Indian hub in Gurgaon. To him, working in Google is a natural extension to those who’ve imbibed the ethos of GIM.
“It is critical to optimise time, and GIM teaches you to do so rather perfectly,” he puts in a word to the young guns at GIM who look at a stint with Google as a dream job. “GIM keeps you busy, but it’s an amazing balance of academics, extracurricular and student-oriented activities. Do it right and you are sure to make the best of your 2 years. And do not miss the opportunity to learn a thing or two about your favourite subject – GIM encourages independent assignments. Mine were ESPB (Economic, Social, Political and Business Studies) and TPM (Total Productivity Management). I’ve travelled a long distance with these subjects. Have your fill of the endless informal discussions with your professors, enjoy the awesome seafood and of course, the beautiful beaches! You will not get this time again.”
