Guneet Ahuja gives a behind-the-scenes look at the formation of the Finance Club at Jaipuria Noida

I am proud to announce that the Finance Club at Jaipuria Noida was inaugurated on the 7th of August, 2012. The Dean, Associate Dean and members of the Finance Club were present for the interactive and energetic first meeting. To kick-start the event, members did a little role-playing, attempting to bring out the role of finance in our day-to-day lives. It was followed by a poem recital, which motivated all the listeners present. I then had the privilege of addressing the Finance Club members and outlining the kinds of activities we could undertake in the coming year. I was also happy to hear many suggestions from those present. Finally, Professor Prabhat Pankaj spoke to the gathering, and his heartfelt words were very encouraging to us.

Now that the inaugural event is over, I can take a moment to express my gratitude to all the people who helped make this happen. As everyone knows, there is always a lot of effort behind the scenes to make any event successful. The name of the club, the logo and the motto has been decided after a lot of deliberations. We have settled on the name ‘Hiranya’, which means wealth. We truly do believe that knowledge enhances our skill-sets and makes us better professionals, and it is for this reason that we have kept our motto – “Shared Knowledge Leads the Way.”

Organisationally, the club will be divided into three central committees, led by Vice Presidents, who will in turn report to the Club President. I am proud to announce that this year’s Club President is Abhishek Pramanik from PDGM (A). The first committee is the External Committee, led by Saransh Garg, PDGM (B), and will look after external activities including guest talks, panel discussions, alumni interactions and other such events. The second committee is the Internal Committee led by Mayuri Datta, PDGM (S), and will look after games, debates and quizzes. The third committee is the Research Committee, which will encourage students to write finance articles, undertake small research projects and produce a newsletter. Umesh Yadav, from PGDM (B), will head this committee.

In the coming year, we are very confident that our Finance Club, Hiranya, will go from strength to strength. However, none of this is possible with the active interest and support of the student body, and for that reason I encourage all of you to come and attend our events, submit your articles and join the Club. After all, knowledge is profitable!

Jaipuria Jaipur STUDENT Speaks

Influenced and inspired by people!

Himani Wadhwa describes herself as a people person. A prolific writer, Himani hails from Jaipur and did her graduation in Bachelor of Business Management from International College for Girls (ICG), Jaipur. She has also pronounced interest in documentaries and content writing.

Himani believes she has always been an HR person. She is influenced and inspired by people around her, she connects well and has over the years, developed a keen understanding of human behavior and psychology. In fact, this is where her stories and poetry originate from.

After her graduation, Himani wanted to continue being in her hometown and found a perfect solution academically in Jaipuria Jaipur where she joined PGDM. She is doing her final year and acquired the opportunity to intern with Hotel Clarks Amer, Jaipur, a five star hotel in Rajasthan. Her role was to assist her mentor in organizing Training & Development programs, analyzing group dynamics and maintaining relations. Talking about her learning she says, “Most important thing I learnt was that if you realize you are making a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it else it leaves a mark on your credibility”. She also realized that as a professional, one does not have the leeway of doing a less than perfect job ever, especially not when dealing with human beings, “When you are talking to people, handling grievances or managing and organizing things, it is important to keep your cool and do a good job”.

Her future plans are to join advertising and media industry. She attributes her learning and success so far to her family and to Jaipuria faculty who supported her through the internship. She is also all praise for the infrastructure provided by the institute that has helped her learn and build her skills.

Himani is glad for the holistic development opportunities that Jaipuria Jaipur provides its students. She is an active student and has leveraged all the opportunities. She is a tennis player and was the sports secretary during her graduation. Himani is also a keen badminton player and usually stayed back after college to play or simply interact with classmates in the lovely grounds. She is also good with organizing events and has used those skills in every event she could participate in Jaipuria Jaipur.

“I have had all the opportunities I wanted, to showcase myself and my talent. There hasn’t been a single moment where I was not guided when in confusion,” says Himani about the support she has received from the college and her faculty. She aspires to be a writer some day and in the meantime is working hard to make her dreams come true.

Jaipuria Indore STUDENT Speaks

Aditi Sharma doubles her goals at Jaipuria Indore.

For Aditi Sharma, joining Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore has been a natural step in an already exciting career. Now in her second year, she has chosen a dual specialisation in HR and Finance, with an eye to join the HR department of a renowned company after graduation. Her time at Jaipuria Indore has allowed her to develop and expand her already established love for HR, but in order to achieve greater heights she has also added Finance as her major subject.

Aditi has a Diploma in Aviation, Hospitality and Tourism from the Frankfinn Institute of Air Hostess training. The course helped to hone her skills in the art of client servicing and also gave her exhaustive training in developing communication skills, customer service, safety drills and personality development. Soon after, she was placed with Guest Service Assistance at the Taj Banjara, Hyderabad. Aditi left that position to pursue a Bachelors degree in Tourism from IGNOU, while she worked at Divine Ventures, a travel agency partnered with makemytrip.com.

Aditi’s decision to join Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore was based on its reputation as a leading business school in India and its excellent faculty; she knew this is where she had to go to build on her experience. She has enjoyed being on campus, which she feels is “alive with activities and the hustle-bustle of an academic curriculum”. Aditi really enjoys the extra curricular activities on offer, ranging from sports to cultural, and is actively involved with National Entrepreneurship Network and with operating an evening school in Dakachaya village. Student-driven events like the Business Olympiad, Budget Seminar, Encore, Milan and other events have allowed her to polish her organisational skills, connect with people and have also provided a platform for career opportunities.

But it is her classroom learning that has really inspired Aditi. In particular, she feels that the classes of Professor Dheeraj Mishra and Professor Priti Bakshi have encouraged her to take up finance along with HR. Added to her classes, her internship placement at JUSCO Ltd. in Jamshedpur has helped her develop a deeper understanding of HR deliverables. One of her teachers, Professor Kanak, even visited her during her internship, impressing both Aditi and JUSCO with the seriousness and support given to her by Jaipuria Indore .

Aditi’s experience at Jaipuria Indore has not just been impactful because of the new subjects she has explored, or the inspiring faculty she has met. The teaching methodology has made her understand real life scenarios and her capabilities within those contexts. With regular mock interviews, GD sessions, aptitude tests, extempore debates and quizzes, Aditi feels very prepared to face the eventual job hunt. At the same time, being at Jaipuria Indore has exposed her to E-learning, and through Chisel Programme, she has had the opportunity to interact with key players in industry.

Now, with a renewed sense of confidence instilled in her by a forward-looking institute and on-ground work experience, Aditi is eager to graduate with her double specialisation and join the world of working professionals again. But even as she does, there is no doubt that she is going to miss her time at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore!
