But this lack of comparison with the other colleges shouldn’t be mistaken for shying away from reality. In fact, we have gauged our presence perfectly which has enabled us to improve with each passing day, both within the classroom and outside. Every person pours his heart into his work and takes accountability for his peers. The perfect example of this is our seniors, who pushed us to aim for the ABG internship project even though the 2019 batch don’t have much to gain from it. In this cut-throat corporate world where pulling others down rather than raising our own bar is quickly becoming the norm, the stand the seniors took for us is a gleaming example that all is not lost.
Such examples are numerous and easy to come by in IIM Sirmaur where we strive to show that we’re so much more than ‘another budding IIM’. We are an IIM who aim to surpass expectations and ‘Wow’ the world at every turn, in innovative ways that even we find surprising.
So what is my final point? Well, it’s simple. Despite being away from home for the first time (2500 kms!), it’s not the breathtaking scenery or the IIM tag that prevents me being inflicted with crippling homesickness. It is the ambience given by my fellow students, faculty and supporting staff by ‘competing together’ rather than ‘competing against’ each other which pulls ‘Home’ a little closer. And that ladies and gentleman, is my college’s USP.
Which ABG Company would I like to work for and why?
Spending the last two decades in Bangalore I, Suhas Jirgi, have seen its slow transformation from the ‘Garden’ city I adored to the ‘Garbage’ city I mourn. But the metropolitan city also taught me that the world should either evolve and develop, or perish.
Keeping in mind my desire to help maintain delicate balance between corporate development and environmental disruption, I think the ADITYA BIRLA RETAIL LTD, MUMBAI, would be my desired company to work with. After all, its aim is to reduce the carbon footprint in the retail chain, which will be the perfect model of an unlikely symbiotic relationship.
