Located amidst the hills and sprawling flora of Lavale Village, Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune is a perfect case in point of how modern technology can co-exist with nature. Students may wake up to the tune of ‘Vande Matram’ that plays on speakers in dormitories of each floor of the hostels everyday or may rise to the sound of a peacock that celebrates the beautiful gift of a new day.
Due to the elevation of the hill, on top of which Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune is located, one could see the clouds moving about freely at night or early morning. Also, the temperature at Lavale is cooler than the surrounding city of Pune, which offsets the tension and anxiety associated with the hectic schedule of MBA course.
However, a campus on the hill top village does not imply that there is a disconnect with the modern world. Once we enter the auditorium, convention hall or class room, we are again exposed to the state of the art facilities required in a B-School to make us prepared for the corporate world. If one has a difficulty in imagining the use of lapel microphones or wireless slide changer in a village located on a hilltop that is 17 km away from a tier 2 city, I recommend that person to visit Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune.
In order to maintain the purity of this location, the administration of our college has provided community bicycles for students and staff to cover distances within the campus. Additionally, initiatives such as use of solar power and installation of rain water harvesting projects further aligns with the vision of the institute – Vasudev Kutumbakam (The World Is One Family). Furthermore, students are encouraged to segregate the waste into Dry Waste and Wet Waste, so as to mitigate the problem of waste segregation at micro-level.
Symbiosis Institute of Business Management, Pune is unique because the institute truly believes in the concept of holistic development of students.
Which Aditya Birla Group company you want to work for and why?
If I were to choose only one among the plethora of companies owned and operated by Aditya Birla Group, it would be Aditya Birla Capital.
Aditya Birla Capital has showcased robust growth over the last three years in all the verticals the company deals in – financing, investing, advising and insurance. The strong interest among investors when the company was listed publicly re-instates the credibility of the organization. I wish to join the organization so as to be a part of one of the fastest growing Non-Banking Financial Company of India.
