An MBA felt like the right choice. I wanted to make the right use of what I had learnt from psychology to figure out what consumers want and how to get them to buy the brands they want. Psychology and MBA are more alike than I could even imagine. Thus, began my preparation for b-school entrances. And here I am, a few months later at XIMB.
It was terrifying, of course. But I've loved every moment here so far. It's been hectic and crazy, but it's been brilliant.
Amidst a diverse batch filled with students from a varied background like fashion designers, CAs, dentists, etc., I have cherished the plethora of experience they bring to the discussion table. We all are so different from each other. Yet each one of us is involved in the same cycle consisting of assignments, deadlines, group projects, etc.
And the best thing is, I'm doing what I think I was meant to do.
My advice to everyone who is afraid to be different: it's okay to be scared, but it's not okay to give up on your dream.
