Samriddhi Malhotra is a young professional who is an entrepreneur at heart. After graduating from SRCC, she could either take up a job as an Analyst at McKinsey or join XLRI Jamshedpur for an MBA - she chose the latter and that made all the difference in her life. XLRI's emphasis on social entrepreneurship gave her further clarity on what she wanted to do. Samriddhi took a bold decision and opted out of the Summer Placement process at XL to work in the development sector with Pratham in Bihar and continued to work with the Bihar Government post her MBA when the idea for her Startup came to her organically. She invested her heart & soul in her Startup - Kickstart Jobs, a funded HR Tech company, which didn't work out. But, she didn't give up and built herself again.

In this episode of Startup Central by InsideIIM, we spoke to Samriddhi Malhotra to understand how she looks at life and the "stability" that people keep looking at post a degree. She talks about how an MBA can be a facilitator but it is important to find your true calling to ensure sustainability.
