1. Tell us something about yourself?I have completed MBA recently, got placed in Axis Bank; waiting for joining.
2. What is management according to you?
Management is not just pre-defined principles, it is all that how your steps gives most ethical and productive solutions to the business in order to benefit the stakeholders.
3. What is your philosophy towards work?
My philosophy is very simple: perform your passions and make your work your passion.
4. Describe the change in the management situation you have experienced till date?
5. What motivates you to do your best on the job?
Learning motivates me. I mean being a position of VP Marketing and sitting idle doesn’t make me happy but being a Asstt. Marketing Manager and understanding the concepts and functioning of market will motivate me.
6. Tell me about the most fun you have had on the job?
Still waiting……………………….
7. “Earning in 6 digits” is the motive behind doing MBA? Is it justifiable?
Well not exactly, but ya I slightly agree. If a person is spending 6 Digit during is MBA, then he is expected to earn return on it. Let me share you an experience with you: Once I was travelling in rikshwa and I started talking with the puller. He told me that he earns 300 Rs. daily. Next day I got a mail indicating a package of 10k. I was shattered and thought why MBA education is treated as a blue collar labor in India. This experience always makes me depressed, frustrated and aggressive (even now too).
8. Do you think the MBA course curriculum is at par with industry expectations?
Yes, not considering C or D grade MBA shops, good colleges are working on these grounds only.
9. What suggestions would you like to give to enhance MBA today?
The quantity of MBA colleges should not increase like they presently are. There should be some benchmarks and quality of education should also be increased. Less colleges but perfect students. Those who want to go in sales should go for 1 year diplomas.
10. Is the Name of the Institute from where a student does his/her MBA important while entering into corporate world?
Not 100% but ya it makes a little difference.
11. What message would you like to give to the students aspiring to work at management level?Management level working is not a cake walk. You have to make you mind so sharp that you can solve any management problem even if you are sleeping. For management work one should have 110% knowledge of his field, strategic mindset, interpretation skills and many more qualities. If you want to work for just 10-4pm then please change your mind and don’t spoil your life and others seat.
12. What are your views on the Entrance Exams for Professionals courses?
the thought of ‘Entrance exams’ is good. But they are not taken seriously. With the power of money Exams, GD, PI and everything can be purchased.
13. What do Corporate’s expect from MBA professionals?
A Corporate always expect a MBA should have strategic thinking and analytical skills. Be it sales or marketing, finance, hr, operation guy, A MBA graduate should not be a moron who do only what is said to him.
14. What piece of advice would you give to a student aspiring for an MBA?
See, If you want to earn money only then please don’t come for MBA. And if you can’t afford a good college, then please don’t go for MBA because cheap college degrade your skills. Don’t get demotivated, there are n number of areas where you can sharpen your skills and passion.MBA is not ONE MASTER DEGREE FOR ALL BACHELORS.
