Oh!! Wait, did I tell you about his obsession for food, in his internship, he was living a kilometer or two from the market, and the kind of foodie he is, he used to walk that much every mid-night to have junk, and return with a happy face. But jokes apart, this guy has truly captured the opportunities presented by this hectic life, and has proved what a fresher can really do in his 20 month span at an IIM.
Ayush Pandey: “A skinny guy”, this was my reaction when I first met him, little did I know, that he’ll become one of my go to persons in this MBA life. A crazy soul, who loves Barcelona Messi to the moon and back, likes vegetarian food (secretly eats egg) and loves serious banter. He is one guy who has always given me solutions to my problems, one way or another, a perfect advisor I would say.
Parag Nawani: Oh boy, where do I start about this chap, hardworking, intelligent, creative, composed, are all the adjectives that describe this guy, I would actually run out of adjectives if I had to mention everything that describes him. Having set out to conquer the MBA life, this guy has put every foot correct, be it winning competitions, events, or hearts, he has been there, and done that. He did not get the chance to become part of any committee, but as they say that God had something better written, waiting for him, I don’t want to give-away the credit of his hard-work to the fate, but such journeys are only seen in fairy-tales. He has made me believe in hard-work and passion.
These were some of my crazy batch-mates who make my MBA life fun.
Which ABG company would I want to work for and why?
A lot of ABG companies look enticing to me, but one that wins my heart is, Idea. With majority of workforce being young, this looks like a perfect stepping stone to start my professional career. But, wait, do I want to join a company based on the working age of it, a big NO. Idea not just entices me on the age front, but also is into one of the most dynamic industry, Telecomm. It is on a rise, and is supposed to rise to Rs. 10 trillion by the end of 2018, and has seen a CAGR of 5.2 percent while contributing close to 5% to the country’s GDP, hence there won’t be any harm done, given I get a chance to join Idea.
