But in this small journey of 3 years, I realised across several instances that at times, concrete knowledge of certain business domains such as handling company’s finances and managing human resources is very critical for the co-founders. I chose to write CAT 2017 and other major examinations to get into a premier B-School. I had final admission offers from NMIMS Mumbai, SIBM Pune and IIFT Kolkata but the aspiration to get into one of the IIMs brought me to IIM Nagpur. Today after eight months at IIM Nagpur when I look back at risk taken in the summers of 2015 and a decision for CAT, IIM Nagpur’s curriculum and exposure towards an entrepreneurial bent bring a smile of content on my face. And the smile validates how strongly an MBA from a premier B-School such as IIMs can help one realign with the start-up challenges that lie ahead if you have worked on one or plan to start one.
