It has already been a few weeks that I have been given an opportunity to step into one of the most revered B-Schools of India – MDI, Gurgaon, and the journey till now has been nothing short of any roller coaster ride. There is a saying which says “The finest steel has to go through the hottest fire” and we at MDI are going through the same. Difficult case studies, strict deadlines, surprise quizzes are some of the facets of the grind that we are going through and this in turn has turned me into a completely different person. It has helped me to build a sense of discipline in myself and has sparked a fire in me to perform beyond my capabilities and to overcome my shortcomings. Being a person who likes to sleep, the initial few days were tough for me as I hardly got any time for the same. But the most beautiful thing about this campus is there is always an energy and that compels to strive hard for success. It has helped me overcome my anxiety while talking to new people in the social context and is currently helping me develop an extrovert personality. Faculty and peer interaction at MDI has helped me gain a better perspective of the human resource domain and has helped me to align my goals with respect to the field. But then again it is not always about academics, the campus gives an opportunity to showcase our talent either through various events like the inter-section sports competitions or through the activities of various clubs and committees and helps us build relations and memories with our peers which will remain with us till eternity.
ABG BRAND I WOULD LIKE TO WORK FOR
I would like to see myself working for the retail division of Aditya Birla Group. The primary reason for this decision being I would be able to make considerable positive impact to business as an HR manager while working for the retail division. Engaging with the employees who have a direct impact on the consumer base, would in turn enable me to interact with customers. Moreover, being the fourth largest supermarket chain in the country, it would help me to work on various projects and increase my competency and skill sets. With an expansive network all over the country, working for the retail division would help me to interact with people from various cultures and background which would provide me with enriching experiences and help me develop as a better human being.
