To Reach Beyond The End Of The Sky… - IIM Visakhapatnam

There are multitudes of reasons which sets apart IIM Visakhapatnam from other top B-Schools in the country. The International Immersion Program is one of them. It helps us learn about various market conditions, opportunities, advantages, challenges, regulations, practices, culture, and perspectives, among numerous other things, of some important emerging economies, which would be fruitful in leading multi-national businesses in the future. On the other hand, The Entrepreneurial Passion and Innovation Club equips us with the necessary skills to bridge the gap between conceptualizing and materializing an idea. The consulting club creates unique opportunities to interact with the leaders in the industry, and provides a platform to hone our problem-solving skills. Clubs such as The Social Activities Club, Sports Club, Hobbies & Interest Club, Information Technology Club, Student Media Cell and ARTquake always provide an avenue to learn something new, and ensure our holistic growth into future leaders. The list can go on and on and on…

Another important factor is the process of shortlisting students for admission by IIM Visakhapatnam. It puts a lot of emphasis on past academics which ensures top-notch quality of the student pool, and hence enhances the peer learning experience, as well as the competition.

IIM Visakhapatnam enjoys the unique location advantage of Visakhapatnam, which is the financial capital of Andhra Pradesh, and is also backed by the political will for rapid development. Besides, the natural beauty, and pollution free environment of Visakhapatnam just adds to the already conducive environment for learning.

IIM Visakhapatnam is the place which we will call our home for the next two years, which will nurture us into world-class professionals, both through love and rigour. This is going to be an experience of a lifetime. I look forward to anchor my roots in the solid foundation called IIM Visakhapatnam, strive to live up to its name, and maybe one day, grow so tall that I am able to reach beyond the end of the sky…

Which ABG company I want to work for, and why

I developed a keen interest in finance while trying to learn to increase wealth exponentially. I want to make a career in the same, comfort with numbers being an advantage.

Therefore, I yearn to work in Aditya Birla Capital Limited, which specializes in all sorts of financial activities, from broking, to consulting, to financing, to life insurance, to asset management, to wealth management to name a few. I am hungry to learn them all. Furthermore, the 91.6% increase in its net profit (Source: ET) in quarter ended March, 18 over the last quarter, attests its success in the domain.
