Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore organized a comprehensive induction programme for its PGDM batch (2016-18) between June 27th and July 2nd. The Program was meant to familiarize the students with the Institute, give them a glimpse into the PGDM program, the expectations from the corporate sector and the holistic development journey they will embark upon over the next two years.

In addition to making the students interact with the faculty and alumni, the induction program also had a number of people from senior corporate positions, government, NGOs, etc. There was also a strong focus on participating in different activities – management games, team building exercises, talent hunt, sessions on health & fitness, entertainment, etc.

Over the course of six days, students were taken through a range of activities, broadly divided into the following areas:

Familiarization / Ice-breaking:

Students were introduced to the unique ‘Uncampus’ philosophy of Jaipuria that binds all the campuses.
Students were familiarized with the workings of the Placement Cell and how it helps students get ready for their job applications. Qualities that make a person an effective business professional were enumerated.

On the weekend of July 15th – 17th, Jaipuria Institute of Management organized a three-day Management Development Programme (MDP) on ‘Stree-Shakti: Empowering Women for Leadership’. Hosted at resort De Coracao, Goa, the MDP saw active participation from 22 senior women officials from various organizations, including Airports Authority of India, Power Finance Corporation, PNB, Central Coalfield, Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders, Mahanadi Coalfield, Goa Shipyard, Power Grid Corporation, Nalco, and IFFCO. The resource faculty for the programme included Ms. Meenakshi Davar (ED-Power Grid), Ms. Manjushree Roy (Administrator & Chief Operating Officer- Sports Authority of India), Ms. Albertina Almeida (a very reputed National Level Advocate) and Ms. Rashmi (a well-known Image Consultant). The programme was inaugurated by Ms. Manjushree Roy and the programme profile was introduced by Mr. YPS Kanwar (VP-MDP&C, Jaipuria). The Programme Coordinator was Mr. Kumar Sri Uttam (Manager- MDP&C, Jaipuria).

Day 1

The first session of the MDP was conducted by Ms. Manjushree Roy who focused on role of women in the changing corporate scenario. According to her, “a woman is the center of the family. She has within her the power to create, nurture and transform herself to lead in the world. It is time now for us to make a difference and affect a mindset change in the male-centric scheme of things and bring about a true socio-economic empowerment of women across regions, religions and classes. We not only can, but we must do this.” Her session included many illustrations from real-life along with practical applications that can be used in the corporate world.

The second session, also conducted by Ms. Manjushree, was on ‘Developing Emotional, Rational and Culturally Inclusive Competencies’. She said “if you love rational thought and are attached to ideas and perceptions, then you tend to despise emotions”. Her session addressed aspects like Ego vs Self-respect, Assertiveness, Interconnectedness and Gender Sensitivity. According to her, “ego is believing yourself to be much better than you actually are and self-respect is knowing exactly how good you are.”

The third session was conducted by Ms. Rashmi on ‘The Power of Personal Appearance’. In this session, she focused on the impact of image we create on others. She emphasised that “personal appearance is an often disregarded part of communication and presentation skills. When we are speaking in public or dealing with a client, we are representing our company and ourselves”. This session included tips on personal grooming, hygiene, and proper attire – all can help create a positive image of an individual.

Day 2

Ms. Meenakshi Davar’s first session was on ‘Maintaining a Work-life Balance and Creating a Culture of Excellence. In this session, she discussed how an individual can balance his or her personal and professional lives in order to achieve excellence. She discussed the various challenges faced by working women and the ways to be an assertive and valuable employee.

The second session was on ‘Moving Forward: The Modern Woman’. According to Ms. Davar, a modern woman is expected to multi-task all the time, given the many priorities in her life, and that support and equality are vital in such a scenario.

The third session was on ‘Building Leadership Competencies and Harnessing their Potential’. Ms. Davar explained that “globalization is rapidly redefining today’s business environment. Significant strategic shifts are transforming the playing field, vast opportunities for growth are emerging at the same time and successful business leaders must shape their organizations to be more nimble and flexible, less hierarchical, and more networked.”

Day 3

The first session was conducted by Ms. Albertina Almeida on ‘Sexual Harassment at the Workplace and Supreme Court Guidelines for the Same’. She explained various laws relating to workplace harassment. In addition, her session on the ‘Domestic Violence Act’ included a discussion on some famous cases.

The second session was on ‘Legislative and Judicial Initiatives towards Women Empowerment’ where she discussed various legal and judicial initiatives for the protection of women.

The workshop concluded with a closing ceremony wherein all participants were awarded their Certificates of Participation by Mr. YPS Kanwar, who also gave the vote of thanks.
Besides being extremely successful, the programme was extremely relevant considering the sensitivity and importance of the topic of women’s participation in the corporate world.

Jaipuria Noida Placement Update

Suvendu Acharyya, Jaipuria Noida Class of 2014-2016, on the importance of internship experience in final placements

Suvendu belongs to Kolkata and had completed his graduation in B.Tech in Information Technology from West Bengal University of Technology. The decision to pursue an MBA was driven by his desire to increase his career prospects: “I decided to pursue an MBA as I wanted to have a career growth by enhancing my skills.”

Coming from a middle-class background, there were many important considerations in his choice of institute. “Coming to Jaipuria Noida was a big decision for me and my family as we had a lot of expectations for a prosperous future. My family has invested heavily in my studies and ROI matters a lot to me. Apart from the placement prospects, a good learning environment was a very important consideration. I am glad to say that Jaipuria Noida has fulfilled both expectations.”

The two years (2014-16) spent here have been a transformational journey for Suvendu. “Jaipuria is not only a college for me but a family. I cherished every moment spent with friends. Faculty were so approachable that they made our learning journey easier. Participating in events and clubs was fun and also a valuable learning experience. I changed a lot in terms of improved communication skills and patience, both of which used to be my weakness. There were valuable lessons in every moment. My friends and the library are probably what I will miss the most.”

His internship was with Moon Beverages (Coca Cola) and proved to be a great initiation into corporate roles. “My internship was in the Food and Beverages industry. I was dealing with retailers in Ghaziabad to gauge their satisfaction with Moon Beverages and Coca Cola products.”

The internship experience proved very valuable in his final placements interview process. “The interview experience always shows the bitter truth if one is not prepared. Students need to have lot of general knowledge apart from the textual knowledge. One also needs to articulate the internship work really well. I was tested on sales theory in my personal interview (PI) round. Behavioural aspects were tested by putting me in different situations and there was a stress interview as well.” His advice to juniors is “to be thoroughly prepared with the CV and put more focus in summer internship program (SIP), which is what the questions largely focus on. Also, group discussion (GD) practice is important since a lack of knowledge and inability to communicate becomes ground for elimination”

“I have joined as Management Trainee in Sales with Hindustan Sanitaryware (HSIL) and my key roles will be to visit retailers and explain our products, new launches, schemes which the companies provide, motivate them to increase sales, understand their problems and resolve them. Jaipuria has helped me develop most of the skills I will need for these roles,” concludes Suvendu as we wish him well in his career.
