Prince Manocha already feels like the King of the world with a new territory at hand to forge

SCMS Cochin offered several exciting opportunities to him during his two years’ stint and they served to be a learning experience, not only for management concepts but for his overall growth too. Prince recalls being the coordinator of the Integrated Management Learning Program (IMLP) to be one such experience that helped him to a great extent. During his time at the institute he also participated in several inter-collegiate contests that boosted his confidence further. “Winning the first prize in the finance games organized by Amrita School of Business and Stockmind (virtual trading game) organized by ICICI securities are the highlights of my academic sojourn,” he says with a smile.

Given the opportunities he has had and the platform offered to him by the institute, it is little wonder that Prince recommends a professional program like his to future management aspirants. “Leading media groups in the country have ranked SCMS Cochin as one of the top 25 B-Schools in the country,” he says. “It has won several National and International awards for excellence in leadership development, entrepreneurship and many more. The teaching methodology followed by experienced faculty members is impeccable. And the course program is well designed, structured and up-do-date, which gives us the edge."

It is this competitive edge besides the SIP experience with Sharekhan Limited, Mumbai that Prince took to the interview table for the placement with ICICI Securities. And he impressed with his talent and newfound confidence, which finally earned him the job. Now that he is a management professional himself, what does he plan to achieve with his new company? “I want to excel in my career and am willing to put in all the effort asked of me to deliver to the best of my abilities,” he answers. "I want to be firmly settled in the company with a clear understanding of my role in its future."

His institute has given Prince the means to call the shots in his future career and make a place for himself, not only in his company but the world of management as well.
