The New Life
I joined IIM Indore PGP Mumbai in July 2015 and life has never been the same again. The very first day I arrived in CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai I was enthralled by the beauty and serenity of the place. Accommodation seemed to be a concern initially, but with the help of the seniors, almost all of us managed to move into a society right across the campus the same evening. The journey ever since has been a beautiful rollercoaster. Case discussions, meeting deadlines, working in groups, presenting/representing, debating and lastly, partying comprises an average day.
One thing that I take the most pride in is the caliber of the faculty over here. From teachers who have taught Raghuram Rajan to B2B Marketing Gurus, their knowledge and myriad of experiences gives you a new perspective to everything around you. The case based pedagogy followed by IIM Indore is rigorous yet delightful. The freewheeling case discussions during the lectures with my fellow participants from diverse backgrounds is my personal favorite.
The locational advantage of Mumbai with almost every company's corporate office being situated here has been the prime reason for the number of live projects I have undertaken along with the industrial visits. The exposure you get here by interacting with the numerous guest lecturers and luminaries is unparalleled.
As I write this, going from Mumbai to Pune in a cab for the first day of my Summer Internship in Nvidia, I hope and believe that the remainder of this MBA journey will be as beautiful as the first 8 months.
