“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember but
involve me and I learn.”
By Benjamin Franklin.
When
one thinks of excellence in management education in India, the name that
usually pops into mind is the Indian Institute of Management.
I
always wonder that for a Business Studies student like myself, for whom an MBA
seems like an obvious choice to go for in the future but I've choose fairly
different path. Being Fascinated by Research papers, my journey starts at IIM-C.
The internship turned out to be an amazing learning experience not just in Academic
Research projects, Journals and Marketing but in various aspects of life.
I met people from one of my favorite ESSEC Business School, HEC Paris, INSEAD etc who was working in the same research project on “Bottom of Pyramid”, Further, I got to know a lot about the culture of IIM and Three things that I liked most in IIM-C were library, people and food was simply superb with around 12 different types of curries serving all palettes. IIM-C library [24/4 Open] is a book lover’s paradise with books ranging from Indian culture to Harvard Business Reviews in abundance of knowledge. I even had a chance to attend IIMC 50th Convocation Ceremony.

What
surprised me was how warm and welcoming everyone was!
During
the past twenty weeks, I lived on campus Dorms (which I add, is upright),
attended various seminars and workshops along with the students there along
with working on a live project of Unconventional / innovative business model of
bottom of pyramid in south East Asian countries and experienced its full glory.
So,
in these Twenty weeks, I had the chance to see IIM-C as an insider. And though
it wasn't as a student, it was still a beautiful experience and the best part
was Meeting with the Dean of ESSEC Business School, Paris and got letter of
Recommendation for GMATE application.
So
last but not the least this is what campus looks like in the evenings, surrounded
by 7 huge lakes and the view is just mesmerizing!
