Self-Discovery In The Process Of Becoming A Class Representative At IIM Nagpur

Soapbox at IIM Nagpur was one of the most enthralling experiences of my life. It was almost an hour-long process, which involved make or break situations, where I emerged as a dark horse. During the Soapbox, people get to evaluate each contestant carefully. Eventually, after every round, I emerged victorious with the maximum number of votes. In this process, I was able to discover my true potential, and I was able to display the same to my batch mates.

In the initial days after assuming the post, I felt as if a storm hit me, and everything was happening so quickly. I was at the centre of so many things happening around. It was something entirely new to me, and I managed it quite comfortably with the inputs from my seniors and support from my batch mates. The day-to-day interaction I have with students, faculty, and management has been helping me in looking at things from a different perspective. It has been a roller coaster ride, and I am completely in love with it. This sense of responsibility is making me perform even better, keeping me on my toes, not letting me become complacent.

I am looking forward to different challenges that are going to come up my way in this two-year tale of my MBA at IIM Nagpur!
