No Comments on Industrial visits start right from Orientation at Jaipuria Jaipur PGDM 2013-15

In the scorching heat of the summer in Rajasthan, we were on a bus on our way to the very first industrial visit of the batch of 2013-15. The bus journey was a wonderful time for all of us to bond with each other. But as we entered the realm of the famed Kagzi industry, the carefree chitchat and random thoughts were replaced by an awed silence. Established in 1996, Kagzi is an ISO approved industry with a turnover from around INR 5 Crore to INR 25 Crore. It is a decades-old industry with export connections in Australia and Europe, setting an outstanding example of how even a small idea, when approached with confidence, can make a huge difference.

The buzz of conversations between 300 craftsmen, the sound of water mixing with the cotton balls, the hum of machines, the vibrant spreads and shreds of papers… all these activities united to make a wondrous spectacle. Clips hanging above drying sheets of handcrafted papers – beyond the reach of our hands – enthralled our eyes with the sheer beauty of colours. We experienced the delight of being in the presence of workers who answered our doubts and queries with humility of true artisans. There were ladies who were expertly sorting out the scraps and clothes, and then boiling and churning the scraps in huge machines with added colour. The scraps were then put on a sieving tray, wrapped on both sides with a cloth and pressed. After pressing, the paper was hung for drying. The excellent craftsmanship and creativity was worthy of praise. The diligence and dedication of the craftsmen towards their craft was truly inspiring for us and we watched them completely engrossed.

The owner, Mr. Mohammad Sharif – an entrepreneur who specialises in manufacturing and exporting handmade paper made from old scraps, clothes and used paper – is truly a great man, making the ‘best out of waste’.

While most visitors restrict themselves to visiting just the manufactured product outlet, the Kagzi factory opened its inner sanctum to the students of Jaipuria Jaipur. For me personally, the printing on the dried paper was the most eye-catching part of the process. We were told that the paper lasts for more than 10 years. Despite going through the entire manufacturing procedure, it was still dazzling to see the final product at the Kagzi outlet.

We returned with many memories that we would hold on to over time… till the next time.

Joel Mathew loves interacting with people, getting into their minds and figuring out the dynamics between groups. She wants to be an HR professional as she finds herself deeply interested in the study of human motivations and behavior. A final year student of PGDM HR & Marketing at Jaipuria Jaipur, she completed her B.Sc.in Botany, Zoology and Psychology from International College for Girls (ICG),Jaipur. Joel was already convinced by the reputation that Jaipuria enjoyed in her city, and an interaction with some of the faculty further helped her decide to join the institute. She describes her journey so far as fantastic. “Jaipuria has given me everything I wanted. To me, it’s my second home where I am led to walk upon the path of truth by keeping my ethics alive.”

Gravita India Limited, Jaipur, chose Joel for a summer internship. Gravita is an SME, and is one of the leading business groups in India operating in the field of manufacturingLead and its allied products. She interned with the HR department in the recruitment and selection vertical. Recognising the immense learning she got on the job, she says, “This internship really helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses while working in a corporate set-up. I even got a chance to sit on an interview panel with the company’s experts and that allowed me to experience the recruitment process from close quarters.” Joel thanks her industry mentor, Paritosh Vaishnav and Gravita DGM, Rohit Mathur for their support and motivation, without which she believes she would not have been able to complete her internship.

“The internship,” says Joel, “has made me calm and patient. I realised that I could survive adversity only when I kept my cool.” She also believes that interpersonal skills are a must to be able to do a good job and is grateful for all that she learnt about people, networking and getting the work done at Jaipuria. She also realised that the role of an HR person is crucial in hiring people who are the ‘right fit’ for the organisation.

Joel appreciates the effort Jaipuria is making to not only invite companies for internships and placements, but also to find the right internships for the students according to their areas of preference. “The college has made every effort to ensure that each student is placed in the right place. Some students even got placed with their dream companies, such as Fortis and Coca Cola. I was thrilled with my internship because I am focused on Recruitment and Selection,and Gravitahas provided a great start to my career.”

A travel enthusiast, singer and dancer, Joel aspires to establish herself as an HR professional in a reputed organisation. She is convinced that she is meant to work in that sphere and is working hard towards making her dreams come true.

No Comments on “The Summer Internship Programme at Jaipuria Noida is like a transitional process from Students to Professionals.”

The great reputation enjoyed by Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida and its PGDM courses has attracted students from all over the country. Kirti Maheshwari, who had done her BBA (HR) from YWCA Delhi, joined Jaipuria Noida with high expectations too. “I chose the institute because of the distinguished faculty, comprehensive learning process and the faith it has in students and their abilities,” says Kirti.

Jaipuria Noida has exceeded her expectations on all counts. “Through different responsibilities given to me, I discovered my potential on a daily basis and now I find myself on the threshold of becoming a professional,” says Kirti proudly. “Its practical, industry-oriented teaching and focus on latest infrastructure helps us immensely,” she adds. That’s another reason student’s head to Jaipuria – to boost their career prospects.

In a bid to give its students a real life work experience to enhance leaning, Jaipuria Noida organises Summer Internship programmes and Kirti got a “golden opportunity” to work with the HR department of Investors Clinic Infratech Pvt. Ltd. in Noida. The focus of her internship was ‘Employee Engagement Activities’ and Kirti says that she has learned a lot under the guidance of her industry co-ordinator, Ms. Tabassum Alvi.

From launching an in-house magazine, to writing articles on current affairs featuring motivational stories, to working on an Employee Satisfaction Survey, Kirti got a chance to handle numerous different jobs. But for her, the professional relationships she managed to build within the company remain the highlight. “I could interact with different levels of management in the company and got a better idea of how corporates function,” she says, “and that knowledge will remain invaluable to me.” Besides Ms. Alvi at IC, Kirti also mentions the contributions of her faculty mentor Ms. Shalini Srivastava, who guided her through the internship. She is also filled with gratitude for Ms. Prerna Awasthi, who got her the opportunity with the company in the first place. According to Kirti, the programme was challenging on two counts. “It took me some effort to make the shift from being a student to becoming a professional. I also had to learn to balance my work and personal life.”

For someone who loves to swim, drive and bake, these lessons are of great value for her long-term career. “I’ve also learned the importance of timeliness and getting it right in a superior-subordinate relationship,” says Kirti. With this experience under her belt, Kirti is raring to go. Her aim is to become a successful HR Manager with one of the top five companies in India, in the next five years.

I was part of the business development team and had to deal with international clients, understanding their needs and accordingly convincing them to collaborate and enter into reseller partnerships or outsourcing.” The most exciting yet challenging part of the internship for her was the interaction with the clients in the UK, understanding their requirements and communicating with them.

Alumni Speak Jaipuria Lucknow

Anand Kapoor, listed by Forbes as one of the Top 100 Indian Leaders in the UAE, says the seeds of his success were sown during his days at Jaipuria Lucknow

Post author By admin

For many, Golf is just another game. For Anand Narain Kapoor, it is the epitome of precision and skill. On the greens, Anand is not just conscious of his own swing, but is constantly gauging the dynamics of the game as well as the immediate and long-term challenges. Golfing sense, for Anand Kapoor, is synonymous with business sense… a business sense that has catapulted him to the Forbes’ list of Top 100 Indian Leaders in the UAE.

“My birth place is in the heart of Uttar Pradesh – Kanpur – and Jaipuria has had a lasting effect on my life. I have done my schooling from Jaipuria School, Kanpur and after my graduation from Christ Church College in Kanpur, I pursued a post-graduation from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow. Iwas part of the first batch that graduated from Lucknow in 1995. The college had just been set up, and it was conscious of the factors that constitute good management education and it endeavored to provide the students with a transformational experience. Jaipuria Lucknow gave me the platform to learn the dynamics of the corporate world and empowered me to innovate and establish myself as a successful entrepreneur.”

The 40 year old Indian entrepreneur is currently based out of Dubai. After passing out of Jaipuria Lucknow in 1995, Anand moved to Uganda to work for an East African Bank. After spending time understanding the local business climate, he set up a FOREX bureau in Uganda. In 1999, he purchased a 40 acre site on the banks of Lake Victoria near Entebbe in Uganda and started growing and exporting rose stems. He further consolidated his business by taking over an international school in Uganda. However, the best was yet to come.

His biggest venture to date came with the birth of MiDCOM, the telecommunications arm of the Midland Group. In Africa, he secured the distribution for Nokia in Rwanda and set out to establish a deep distribution network. Alongside growing MiDCOM from 2004, Anand also continued to diversify his business portfolio by foraying into Real Estate. He set up a state-of-the-art commercial complex in Kampala, Uganda, and followed it up with Kololo Greens, some of the most luxurious residential apartments in Uganda. He also initiated a commodity trade division involving sugar, rice, paper and tyres. With a formidable presence in 12 countries, Anand Kapoor’s company is now a prominent player in the Indian, African and Middle Eastern markets. His most recent venture is in the dairy sector, where the group has set up Pearl Dairy Farms. Anand carries his desire to excel over to the golf course as well. He recently lifted the Chairman’s Cup on the 25th anniversary of the Emirates Golf Club in 2013.

“Being a part of the Forbes’ list was certainly on my bucket list; it’s just that I did not expect it to happen so early in life. On the face of it, being listed in Forbes and being awarded amongst the top Indian leaders in the UAE seems like an individual achievement. While it is an incredible feeling and makes me very proud, the fact of the matter is that the credit goes to the entire team whose hard work has enabled my organisation to grow and reach where it is today. In this era of cut-throat competition, focus, competence and passion are the determining factors for success.”

Anand admits that he has been rather bold with some of his business decisions and entered countries where businesses usually fear to operate. But he’s very happy about the fact that he has spent the majority of his professional life making a difference to the African community with his business. He advises the youngsters at Jaipuria that being ‘innovators’ is not enough; a good entrepreneur has to be a ‘dreamer’ and a ‘worker’.

“Don’t be afraid to follow your dreams,” Anand concludes with a knowing smile. “They will take you places.”
