Prasad Shejwalkar from the 2011-13 batch shares highlights from his PGDM

Prasad Shejwalkar from the 2011-13 batch shares highlights from his PGDM, shares tips on careers in HRM and talks about how his life has changed after Jaipuria.

From being a student at Jaipuria, Indore not too long ago to being the Assistant Manager – HR at a name like Genpact, it has been a huge personal transformation for Prasad Shejwalkar.

The journey hasn’t been smooth, and there have been a lot of ups and downs. One thing that has stayed with me constantly is the experience to handle people, which I feel is the mantra for my career. The transformation happened per the organization’s need, as well as my own personal interests.

Jaipuria played an important role in molding my career. I learnt important skills there like the optimum use of resources/options available, and working with my peers to establish a common goal. So, I can say Jaipuria had a significant impact on my professional journey so far. These learnings have helped in so many ways: the way you interact with the leadership in your organization, your approach to addressing employee concerns, giving a proper ear so that you give a first time right solution, handling sensitive information like the C&B of employees, how to retain team members, and event planning and execution at an SBU level for the country. I am prepared for all of these responsibilities thanks to my time at Jaipuria.

For me, a career in HRM was a given – I was a catalyst in this area even before I joined Jaipuria. At the same time, I would say that people need to first understand the difference between HR in the service industry and HR in the manufacturing industry. Most of the B-Schools try to impart points that are move involved with the manufacturing industry, but fail to do so for service industry.

Also, to be an effective HR Manager one needs to have a serious interest towards people, an eye for detail, a sensitivity to information shared with them, and a diplomatic and approachable nature. With the growth of technology, the modern HR professional also needs to build expertise in this area.

Another way in which Jaipuria Institute of Management helped me develop my abilities is by its focus on both the curricular and extracurricular, which molds its students into well-groomed personalities of tomorrow. Organising events, meeting corporate leaders, leading teams….all these helped to develop my skill set.

Jaipuria, Indore was also known for doing things differently like digitalization, focusing on entrepreneurship, etc. If I had to suggest something that it needs to do differently then that would be trying to focus more on the service standards rather than the manufacturing standards, since the way things work in the service industry are completely different to that of the manufacturing industry.

My life has become very busy since I left the Institute and I do wish I had more time to keep in touch better with my batchmates, with whom I shared a wonderful two years. It was a wonderful time that I will cherish forever.

4th Annual Convocation Ceremony at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore

76 students conferred Post graduate Diploma by Chief Guest Ramesh G. Iyer, Vice Chairman, Managing Director and President – Financial Services, Mahindra at 4th Annual Convocation of Jaipuria Indore.

Graduation isn’t the end of a tough journey. It is the beginning of a beautiful one. 76 students of Jaipuria Indore conferred with Post Graduate Diploma in its 4th Annual Convocation 2016.

Mr. Ramesh G. Iyer, Vice Chairman, Managing Director and President – Financial Services Sector & Member of the Group Executive Board Mahindra Finance, graced the ceremony.

Shri Sharad Jaipuria, Chairman in his address extended a warm welcome to Mr. Iyer and congratulated the students on successfully completing their Post Graduate Diploma in Management. He also congratulated all the members of Jaipuria Indore for having successfully completed their fourth academic year, and remarked that the fourth convocation would indeed be a grand milestone for times to come. Mr. Sharad Jaipuria shared with the graduating students that as they move from academic corridor to industry a lot of challenges and opportunities will come their way, but if they have courage and are persistent than they can accomplish amazing things.

Mr. Iyer felicitated the top achievers of the graduating batch. Ms. Richa Puri was conferred with the Chairman’s Gold, Ms. Meeta Malik and Mr. Rituraj Hada were awarded Vice-Chairperson’s Silver and Ms. Ruqaiya Raja was awarded Director’s Bronze medals for their excellence in academics.

Batch Topper, Ms. Richa Puri shared her memorable moments which she has experienced in Jaipuria, Indore. She said “the best part of the Jaipuria, Indore campus is its unique blend of practical oriented studies; cultural events rigorous learning through live projects, inter college events and availability of the very best placement opportunities.”

Mr. Ramesh G Iyer, sharing his experience with the students said that as you move in to the corporate world understand that you are still learning. As considered by most passing out graduates that the first initial years of your job is the beginning of your career, but these initial years are to be considered as you are still in a Business School but here you are not paying to learn but, getting paid to learn so the takeaway from this thought is that in the initial years “Don’t say no to any opportunity, grab it”. The next most important activity to do during these years is to connect and build network.

He also stated that job is never bad; it is you who is not suited for the job. Responsibility begins when you get a job, we should not be selfish after getting placed. The more you stick to your job the company’s name becomes your last name. One should be consistent towards its job and work.

In this occasion Prof. Jagdish Bhagwat was honoured with the Best Faculty Award and Mr. Jipson Joseph-Manager HR Pantaloons, alumni 2014 was awarded the best Alumnus award for outstanding contribution to the development of the AlmaMater.

The proceedings were taken further with the Vote of Thanks by Vice Chairman – Mr. Shreevats Jaipuria, who shared that Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore is the best Institute in Madhya Pradesh which has sharpened the skills of the students and makes the students competent and prowess in order to face the challenges of the corporate world.
