Alumni Speak Jaipuria Lucknow

A Life-changing Experience & a successful outcome – Alumni Joshita Tandon, AVP and Head – CHR and People Analytics at SRF Limited, Reminisces her Journey!

Joshita Tandon, a native of Lucknow and an alumnus of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow shares how her exploration across the Human Resource field has defined her experience as a student.
Joshita, a 2006-2008 batch graduate is Human Resources major, minoring in Management Studies. But her favorite class was that of her specialization – an interactive class that gave her insight into what it means to be successful by being empathetic, emotionally intelligent, and focused on your goals. She believes that these are certain skills that nobody teaches you, but they’re instilled only when you seek guidance from your professors, interact with seniors, and experience it first-hand.
“Recalling my first semester in Jaipuria Institute of Management, it wasn’t an extraordinary start. I stepped in as a student, but as I sailed through the course, I passed out as a professional. With a shallow understanding level towards Human Resource as a subject, I had to constantly seek guidance from my professors, fellow students, and senior batch-mates – just to ensure that I’m at the right place. Hard-work, perseverance, and self-confidence gradually became the driving force for me,” comments Joshita.
Lucky amongst the rest, Joshita was hired at SRF Limited through the campus placement. Since then, there’s not been a day when she wouldn’t credit Jaipuria Institute of Management and her faculty members for grooming and preparing her for the workplace environment. As a piece of advice, Joshita shares, “There are going to ups and downs through this journey of getting into a premier institute and graduating as a thorough industry-fit individual. But, do not lose hopes and never give up. The secret to clearing any interview is to be original, do not second-guess yourself, your opinions, or your perspectives. While the job market is tight, do not get lured by attractive offers. Stick to your specialization and grow in the same stream. The right organization will find you a the right time.”
Currently hustling between three different job roles – Managing HR functions for two offices and working as an HR Analytics consultant, she firmly believes on accepting the rough edges that come across the way with utmost grace, and refining the same for better career growth. Walking down the memory lane, as one of the most remarkable memories that she recollects is the day of her Convocation. To this, she adds, “Not only has the college been a huge contributor in my life, but also the faculty members who have constantly provided their valuable advice, opportunities, and support. For the kindness I have received, I only wish to carry forward the legacy and make a difference in people’s lives.”
Parting Conversation
She firmly believes that a PGDM program is like a lifetime learning experience, no regrets, only learning. “If you are lucky to get through a college of your dreams for pursuing masters, I recommend you to take it up without any fear. Bear in mind, unless you expose yourself to a new environment, you’ll have nothing to learn, and no opportunity to grab. In my case, learning HR functions was a whole new challenge, but it is also a subject that has matured me with time. So, don’t quit half way. Success will automatically follow,” comments Joshita.

Jaipuria Noida STUDENT Speaks

Living the Dream from the Other Side of the Coin and Sharing the Journey with Colgate-Palmolive – Not as a Customer, but an Employee

A post-graduate student from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida talks about his journey towards achieving his goals and successfully securing a job with Colgate Palmolive
Sometimes you need to find your career, and sometimes, your career finds you. Born in the interiors of Uttar Pradesh, Neeraj Tripathi grew up aspiring to become a Management post-graduate. Similar to a lot of other professionals in the sector, his passion for specializing in Marketing came not from great future prospects, but from an intense desire to learn and practice the art of selling without actually selling.
Neeraj’s first step towards getting into Marketing for a brand like Colgate Palmolive began with scouting for opportunities internally. Luckily, that worked for him. That was the time when he realized the potential of chasing for the finest job, and for that he decided to reskill himself to suit into the industry parameters. Today a proud employee of his dream-like workplace, he recalls the placement interview phase, “there was immense competition for this profile, since we were 60 of us who applied for it. The first question was tricky, and it baffled me instantly. I was asked – if a distributor does not assign work to you during your training period, what will you chose to do in that period? Today, I’m glad for the answer I gave during that time,” said Neeraj.
The thing he most appreciates is the encouragement and guidance he got from his professors at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida. Through all the reading between the lines and dedicatedly working towards achieving the set goals, he ultimately learned that the only person holding him back from doing so was himself. He adds, “What set me apart from the crowd was my willingness to learn, unlearn, re-learn and maintaining self-confidence. Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida helped me prepare for the job marketplace, tremendously. The MBA program was perhaps the gateway to my future.”
Three months away from contributing towards a new stint as a Customer Development Officer, Neeraj happily owes the credit to his internship experience at Amul and Mr. Karni Singh Jhala from Viacom 18 who truly inspired him. As a piece of advice, Neeraj adds, “While it’s easy to give excuses and difficult to maintain consistency, do not give up without even trying to know what’s in there. Everybody around us is always helpful – in my case, my professors, my fellow-students, friends, and undoubtedly, my family. You can be your own mentor, but that does not mean you shouldn’t pay heed to what others suggest”
Life holds a special place for those who dare to dream beyond their capacity. Neeraj aspired to build a career with nothing but the best, and that’s what he manifested. He recalls and says, “I remember travelling back to Noida from hometown and that’s when I got a call from Colgate. While I did secretly hope for good news, I didn’t see my dream coming true so quickly. The first call I made was to my parents, and I’ll never forget that day.”

Why Are Fresh MBA Graduates Struggling To Find A Well-Paying Job?

Young professionals and college students often wonder if attending a top business school will set them up for an ever-growing career graph. Undeniably, an MBA degree is one of the road maps to C-suite jobs at large Multi-National Corporations, and also a stepping stone for budding entrepreneurs. But while many eminent industry leaders hold an MBA, the degree isn’t a permit to fortune. Outdoing in business requires creativity, dedication, initiative, and immense efforts. And of course, a great B-school is cherry on the icing!
Developing leaders and forming potential entrepreneurs is what business schools aim to contribute to the society. This is undertaken by exposing students too all the areas of business including finance, marketing, accounting, and human resource.
How will an MBA benefit your career?
Agree or not, a lot of students compare success with their pay packages. However, an MBA is meant to shape you with new skills and open up better avenues for the future. Furthermore, people whose professions unfold with time in different organizations often enroll into business schools for facilitating transitions and widening their opportunities.
Jaipuria Institute of Management’s (Lucknow | Noida | Indore | Jaipur) PGDM curriculum is designed to provide organizations with candidates of the desired managerial skills needed to run them. The Institute aims to help students build the skills needed to excel as professionals, such as the ability to develop smart solutions, analyzing large amounts of data, inspiring and motivating other team members, and commanding respect, a skill that is necessary for individuals who wish to manage ambitious projects that involve teamwork. Besides, the career management team at the Institute liaises with the students to sign them up for personality development workshops, seminars, guest lectures, and networking as a whole.
Are students prepared to work effectively on a global scale?
Proper guidance is crucial for any work, and same is the case for preparing students to work with and for global teams. While large numbers of B-schools traditionally train students to work with onsite teams and manage in-house corporate teams, but with changing times and increasing trend of virtual teams, Jaipuria Institute of Management – Lucknow | Noida | Indore | Jaipur has figured the necessity of preparing students for managing teams on a global scale. Jaipuria’s PGDM program focuses on the following main objectives:
1. A basic understanding of the common issues that teams across borders face, and how to tackle them
2. The technical and managerial skills required to generate high-performance in conjunction with teams, virtually
3. Knowledge of processes, tools, and strategies required to generate high-performance
What employers expect from MBA graduate – and what they don’t?
Every third employer struggles to find business school graduates with the right set of skills. Few of the most important skills that they’re often on a look out for are surprisingly not core MBA subjects, like Marketing or Finance, but more roughly defined qualities, or commonly termed as “soft-skills,” such as the ability to collaboratively work with a team, and having the understanding of prioritizing tasks at workplace.
While B-schools largely emphasize on the importance of core curriculum and specializations, Jaipuria Institute’s PGDM program is designed to nurture the soft skills needed by top-ranking companies – leadership, global awareness, and empathy – along with the nuts and bolts of business.
How is Jaipuria Institute of Management preparing Students for the Global Workforce?
Jaipuria Institute of Management Institute – Lucknow | Noida | Indore | Jaipur offers an opportunity to participate in International Summer Internship Programs established in association with top industry players such as KPMG, IBM, and Bombay Stock Exchange to name a few. Former students who had a chance to work in Singapore and Dubai markets reported that they discovered new perspectives about themselves by working in the socially mix environment.
Jaipuria Institute of Management is focused on providing such opportunities to enable students navigate the professional world, communicate efficiently through diverse cultures, and leverage talents. Besides, through education, seminars, workshops, online resources, and mentoring, students are trained to develop a global mindset.
Is it worth it: Takeaway!
While it is true that the markets are changing beyond recognition, but pursuing MBA from the right B-school will give you an opportunity to experiment with your outlook, and develop interpersonal, management, and problem-solving skills – all ageless abilities.
An MBA doesn’t guarantee success, nothing can – but in the right Institute, under right guidance, and with the right attitude, the same degree may play a crucial role in providing the enhancements in life you’re searching for.

Jaipuria Noida STUDENT Speaks

Ikroop Kaur Kalra’s PGDM specialization is Marketing and she is now the new Asst. Store Manager to one of India’s celebrated retail fashion brands

There were 20 students from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore campus who sat for the Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail’s interview process. “Each one of us were focused and absolutely determined, with everything we needed to outshine in the selection, however, I was sure I wouldn’t be beaten at any cost,” remarks Ikroop who is going to get on-board with India’s leading fashion retail house as a Assistant Store Manager to begin with.
Ikroop was tested throughout the selection. With one question coming after the other from across the interviewer’s side, Ikroop knew she had to keep calm. However, the trickiest was- “why don’t you join your father’s already established business and make more in it?” And, she had her answers up her sleeve. The girl from Bhopal wishes she had just dealt one question a bit better and that was- “what are few things you would want to do to motivate your stuff?” But, what matters is- it all ended well.
Being an Assistant Store Manager, Ikroop would need to look after achievement of sales target, store operations management, focus on the requirements of the customers, ensure customer service quality, and everyone at store. As she had opted for Marketing as one of her specializations, she feels completely at home with her new roles and responsibilities. “At Jaipuria, Indore we are trained in a very immersive ecosystem and curriculum. I have been imparted with both theoretical and practice oriented concepts under Retail Marketing. Field visit to Big Bazaar and other departmental stores were organized to impart us with clarity on- how stores are managed. We were taught how various concepts of Visual Merchandising work, retail shrinkage, retail formats and layouts, ruture retail trends like Bit coins, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, etc.,” explains Ikroop while talking about her strength areas and how she will add value to her organization with a sound PGDM education in her kitty. Adding to all of it, her summer internship with HDFC bank during her first year at Jaipuria, Indore had her taste the corporate world where she could open 8 savings account in 45 days. Experiences like that are invaluable indeed!
Ikroop was at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida campus when the news of her final selection arrived. “I was overwhelmed with phone calls from my friends and colleagues and it was after 15 or 20 minutes that I could finally call my parents about the offer from Aditya Birla Retail and that was when I felt complete,” she says.
This dynamic, young and ambitious Jaipurian is all set to begin her corporate sojourn from 4th February, 2019 and she wishes her teachers to remember her as a honest, disciplined person with a good presence of mind.

Getting placed with Byju’s at a significant pay package A conversation with Akshay of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow

Gunning for one of the highest-paid profiles for final placements, Akshay Kumar Singh of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow was crystal clear about his agenda at the B-school right from the outset. “I was eyeing on few highest package offering companies since 1st year and Byju’s was on the top of my list as I am very inclined towards the education sector,” says the Varanasi boy as he started his career with Byju’s from Jan 14, 2019. However, how did Akshay make it to the organization, which had 300+ applicants applying for a single vacancy in the office of the Business Development Associate? Read on:

Interviewer: What was one of the trickiest questions you were asked in your final placement interview?
Akshay: I was given a case-based question, where I was asked to sell Byju’s product to a customer who has refused to purchase the product straight away. That was tricky indeed!

Interviewer: What was the final selection process like?

Akshay: The final selection process was too tedious. There were 300+ applicants for the job role. Around 13 students sat for the process from Lucknow Campus itself and the vetting process was rigorous in every sense of the word.

Interviewer: Now that you think of the selection process- what do you think you said or did differently which had Byju’s choose you?

Akshay: I feel that my maturity and my confidence saw me through. I kept my calm and honesty while answering the case-based questions that were coming to me one after the other from across the table. The questions did not only test my domain expertise but also my patience, grit, and determination.

Interviewer: Do you think your summer internship project came to use during Byju’s interview process?

Akshay: I did my SIP with Medicus. It was related to getting more and more downloads for their mobile app. The experiences of analyzing app performance, getting downloads, getting app feedback through rigorous models of digital marketing served as key conversation topics during my interview with Byju’s.

Interviewer: What do you think will be your key responsibilities in your new job? Your specialization and your new job responsibilities- they are in sync with each other and how?

Akshay: My key responsibilities will be to generate sales in the given territory and to generate new leads for other products. Oh yes, my specialization is in Marketing and IT & Operations. They are highly in sync with the skills required to perform the offered role in Byju’s.

Interviewer: Of all the professionals you met in the last 2 years during industry interactions, networking, conclaves, etc. at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow, who is that one person who touched your life deeply and you want to emulate his/her professionalism throughout? Why?

Akshay: This is definitely Mr. Amit Singh. He is the Founder of ETL Labs and is an IIM-A Alumni. He was judging one of the business plan competitions in Jaipuria, Lucknow, and invited me to meet him at his office. The man is a charmer! His philosophies about life and career had me amazed. His jovial attitude alongside his knowledge about the industry, in general, is absolutely noteworthy. It is always inspiring to hear him talk. I have reached out to him on various occasions for his mentorship and guidance ever since I met him and he has been there, steadily!

Interviewer: One PGDM concept or lesson that you picked from these last 2 years that you think you could not have learned otherwise?

Akshay: The course Private Equity & Joint Venture made me understand various aspects of finances involved while laying the foundation of any business.

Interviewer: How do you think your teachers at Jaipuria might remember or describe you?

Akshay: A very mature, sincere, focused, and determined person.

Interviewer: How do you think you made the most of the 2 years you spent at the B-school pursuing your PGDM course?

Akshay: I ensured I do not waste my time at school. I consciously made decisions to stay busy and work hard to maximize the potential of my PGDM.

Jaipuria Noida STUDENT Speaks

Agrima of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida talks about her complete PGDM experience that ends with a beautiful beginning

For Satna born Agrima Shrivastava, PGDM has been a very serious journey but the cheerful girl did not forget to catch up on her share of fun either. “We had our moments. For instance, we secretly ate lunch in the classroom while hiding it from the course instructor or sometimes simply indulged in a round of pen fights while instructor was delivering a lecture… I mean it is of course silly and irresponsible on our part but then, come on, we are students after all,” remarks Agrima with a mischievous smile on her lips. The girl just wrapped a power-packed PGDM from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida with a 9.57 LPA CTC being offered to her from Federal Bank. What was the interview process like?
“Oh it was intense!” she quips. There were 150 students vying for the office of the Junior Management Grade 1 of Federal Bank but Agrima knew she had to keep her calm and stay true no matter what. The final selection process started with an aptitude test followed by a group discussion and interview. “There were volleys of questions coming from the interviewer but there was a particular one which had me thinking on my toes- what is that one topic which you don’t like to talk about with people? Took me a while to answer that,” says Agrima.
During her interview, Agrima mostly drew her experience from her internship that Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida had facilitated for her after she completed her first year of PGDM at the B-school. She had interned with Voltas where she had worked as a finance intern in the company’s finance and commercial department. The project was on working capital management. And in Agrima’s words- “a lot of questions revolved around my project and work responsibilities at Voltas.” Her specialization in Finance and Marketing was a cherry on the cake. Her domain knowledge backed by her two years’ training within an intensive PGDM curriculum had her deal questions around teamwork and people management efficiently.
And did the MP girl know she was going to make it to one of the major scheduled commercial banks of India as soon she completed her PGDM? Well, of course not but what Agrima knew was- “to not leave any opportunity unanswered.” She stayed focused in her academics from day one in her PGDM and kept herself occupied with one of the busiest student clubs on campus- the Media Relations Club (MRC) alongside. She was one of the key content writers of the team and was also a member of the Communications Club. While others might network to make business contacts, Agrima networked to make friends and build relationships. “I met fabulous people these last 2 years of my PGDM life and I am hopeful, we shall stay in touch and contribute to the world in our own big or small yet significant ways,” says the girl who is about to join Federal Bank in a matter of few months.

Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur's Yash Mathur has his first job take him across the world. Here's his take on how a PGDM education helped him make it through the Dubai based Manufacturing company

21 years in Ajmer and then 2 years in Jaipur- Yash Mathur of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur is few months away from flashing his passport at the immigration and say “hello!” to a new country altogether. “I was informed of my selection right after I completed my rounds of personal interview but I was not strictly instructed to not disclose till it’s officially announced. I cannot possibly explain the feeling. When the news was finally announced, I remember I felt proud in a way I never felt before,” says Yash on being placed with Dubai based manufacturing company- Indicaa Group Limited.
Yash completed his summer internship with Reliance Retail Ltd. and his work needed him to have people’s skill. He was interacting daily with Reliance users and surveying them on researched questionnaires. He had to talk his way out, engage his clients and get the job done and during his final placement interview with Indicaa Group, these skills came extremely handy for the Ajmer boy.
“In my last two years at Jaipuria, I learnt the importance of punctuality, professionalism, good communication skills, stress management and time management. I actually saw them coming handy in every stage of the selection process,” says Yash while explaining the role a PGDM education played in his life. So what did Yash do right in his interview that Indicaa selected him at a handsome pay package to help him with a perfect start to his career?
“I kept a smiling face and stayed honest throughout. Whatever, I was asked- I replied with truth and honesty. They asked me how I will adjust overseas when I have never even stepped out of Rajasthan my entire life? And I said- if given a chance, who would not want to explore new culture and new places and try to adjust,” reflects Yash.
With a specialisation in Marketing Operations and a job that is meant around Manufacturing and procuring metal for the company from across the world, Yash Mathur of Jaipuria, Jaipur’s PGDM Class 2019 is all set to create an indelible impression at workplace and dedicate the coming ten years to fulfill the dreams of his parents.
