Part B –
Coming from a background in Dentistry, pursuing a career in Management was not a natural choice for me. However, what I dreamt of was impacting lives and making them better. In order to pursue this dream, I took initiatives in order to spread cancer awareness and discourage early users of tobacco. For the same cause, I visited several government hospitals and NGOs who are dedicated to the cause and gained an understanding from them. I talked to a number of students whom the society considers underprivileged. I understood their perspective on life, and identified the ways their life could be impacted and improved. However, throughout this process, I always concluded mismanagement and lack of funds as the root cause for various initiatives and programs not reaching the target groups. This experience encouraged me to learn various aspects of management.
Still, self-learning did not sufficiently serve my purpose, nor it was convincing for the prospective clients, which eventually led me to pursue a formal degree in management from one of the premium B-schools of India – GIM. This journey was not an easy one. I constantly had to juggle with my dental practice in order to earn money, my anti-tobacco initiatives and of course, the preparation for CAT. But as they say, “where there is a will, there is a way”, I landed at GIM and it has been a wholesome journey so far. I know my challenges are not over yet and I am not where I want to be. But for now, I am taking one step at a time.
