P.S: I have been fortunate enough to have won over 15 national case competitions so far.
(b) Student Venture:
An MBA is probably the last time you’ll be among a pool of such talented peers. It wouldn’t be wise to let go this opportunity without trying your hands at a venture of your own and who could be a better customer than the extravagant MBA students. Burnt with the desire to run a merchandise venture of my own, I made a team of five. Bringing the best designer, marketer, banker, and consultants to work together, and after close to a year, I can proudly say that it has given me some of the best business learnings I bag back from IIM Lucknow. The learnings make so much more sense when it leaves you with a whopping seven-figure revenue.
Here’s the team that made the IIM L Store possible for me:
Quick Tip: Given the extensive rigor of B-Schools, choose a venture that doesn’t require you to invest much of your time. You want to run a venture but not at the cost of dooming your academics.
(c) InsideIIM:
There are millions of prospective managers who aspire to live the life you do. They get delighted by reading the slightest detail about a B-School life. Tell them about how you reached there, what you do there and more. Pen it down on InsideIIM, a platform where you get heard by over a million readers and across 50 B-Schools. What makes it more interesting is the social standing it gets you among CAT aspirants, your peers across B-Schools and even recruiters. If that doesn’t excite you, yes it also pays you well.
Editor's Note (22.06.2022) - Every year, Team InsideIIM picks students from top b-school campuses. We're looking for folks interested in Growth Strategy, Content Creation (Text and Video), Managing Competitions, and more! Do reach out to Debayan Purkayastha if you're interested!
(d) Live Projects:
Company’s long for the fresh perspective of B-School students on business problems. They keep floating Live Projects. Live Projects help you wear a manager’s cloak early and solve big business problems end-to-end. Never miss out on taking up live projects. They make sure that while your grey matter does the intellectual labor, your wallet is padded at all times.
(e) Chegg:
If you know a subject well and love talking about it, get to Chegg. Now. Answer simple queries of others on Chegg, 5-10 questions a day and earn close to 40K a month. Interesting, isn’t it?
While you run the B-School race, don’t forget to make the most of these opportunities.
Thank me later!
Happy earning.

Chegg pays more than all the rest combined if you have the right skillets although it's value add to the CV from a Management POV is less.

Pratik Ranjan
Pratik is an MBA candidate at IIM Lucknow. He is an ardent aspiring marketing strategist. His passion for marketing multiplied multifold post his internship with Unilever, where he was conferred with a PPO. Bitten by the entrepreneurial bug & seized by afflatus to read, write & explore, this twenty-something believes in the power of dreaming with his eyes open. He is a columnist in various newsletters and is up for any discussion that involves the nuances of marketing and strategy. P.S: He's charged by the fuel of caffeine.
Well, that's an exaggeration. If you equate the effort to reward ratio it's high for Chegg compared to case competitions. Although, I agree that one can mint shit loads of money through Chegg.
