Jaipuria Institue Of Management is renowned for its PGDM courses and has attracted talented students from all over the country. Shivani Mishra, is one of them. After completing her BBA from Jeevandeep Institute of Management in Varanasi (U.P.), she was in pursuit of “a top ranked management institute in the country”. Her academic record got her admission at Jaipuria, Jaipur and she has never looked back.

Born and raised in Gorakhpur, U.P, Shivani completed her primary education in Arunachal Pradesh. As a first year student at Jaipuria, Jaipur, she’s had access to the best faculty and she believes they have made all the difference. “They are friendly and always accessible. We are offered personal advice if problems arise,” she says.

Not only has Jaipuria, Jaipur given wings to her academic dreams, it has also managed to shape her well-rounded personality. Shivani lists singing, listening to music, crafts and reading as her hobbies. She also loves photography and capturing happy moments in life as she lives by the philosophy of enjoying every moment to the fullest. Luckily for her, some of her hobbies have been given the right platform at the institute.

“At Jaipuria, Jaipur, as a singer I have performed several times, including our Fresher’s party, International conference and our National Fest, Abhyudaya,” she says proudly. Her performance at the latter won her recognition, “a memorable moment during my time at the institute”. She also had a couple of opportunities to present herself at the International conference to guests from all over the world.

Besides singing Shivani has coordinated with the Girls Volleyball team during the Sports Meet and has been on decorations teams for several events. The enthusiastic student also recalls her interactions with her seniors who helped, “with their valuable inputs not only during the events but exams and placements too.”

Shivani completed her summer training in the marketing department of BOI AXA, selling mutual funds. She quips, “It’s difficult to get money out of people’s pockets.” However she is happy that she had the opportunity to learn the basics of banking operations and experience the work environment. On the back of it and her learning at the institute, Shivani hopes to make her dreams come true. In two year’s time she sees herself as a Marketing Manager with a reputed organization and given her focus, you’d put your money on that.

Alumni Speak Jaipuria Lucknow

“Tough times don’t last… tough men do,” says Anurag Misra, Sr. AVP, SBI Life Insurance, alumni of the 1999 batch of Jaipuria Lucknow

Anurag Misra is the living example of the oft-quoted lines, “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”. In the aftermath of the fall of Lehman Brothers, when professionals across the globe where happy with whatever rank and profile they were handed, not only did Anurag Misra thrive in SBI Life Insurance, but in a span of just five years, earned three back-to-back promotions. An alumnus of the 1999 batch of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow, Anurag Misra today sits pretty high up in the corporate hierarchy as Sr. AVP, heading Back Office Operations – Group Business.

“There are two things that I learnt at Jaipuria Lucknow that have always held me in good stead – how to be an effective team player, and how to make strategies to achieve time-bound objectives. Basically, I am extremely hardworking, sincere and adaptable. So when in the initial part of my career I faced numerous challenges, I remained positive and did full justice to the assignments given to me. I believe that is how the wheels turned in my favour.”

Anurag, incidentally, is the man behind the now-famous ‘Ladli’ scheme launched by Ms. Sheela Dikshit, the Chief Minister of Delhi, way back on the 7th of March 2008. The groundbreaking ‘Ladli’ scheme ensures special grants for girl child protection, marriage of orphan girls and daughters of poor widows, and pension for widows. Right from bagging the ‘Ladli’ scheme for SBI Life Insurance, to designing the entire scheme and logistics for the Child and Women Welfare Dept. of the Government of Delhi, Anurag did it all. Within a couple of months of executing this mammoth task, Anurag was promoted from Sr. Manager to Area Sales Manager on 12th May 2008… and he has never looked back. Anurag has been instrumental in generating business to the tune of a whopping 300 Crore in his five-and-a-half years with SBI Life Insurance. All the while, he has been a wonderful alumnus of Jaipuria Lucknow.

“I rarely miss an alumni meet, and enjoy staying in touch with my colleagues, as well as other alumni. I do miss the wonderful two years spent with friends at Jaipuria Lucknow, and the amazing faculty members that we were fortunate enough to have.”

“Five years down the line, I see myself spearheading the company and taking it to heights never touched before,” says Anurag Misra, with the confidence of a man who has seen the highs and lows of life… and has come out the better for it.
