Eminent bureaucrat Anil Swarup draws from his own experiences to illustrate the idea of Leadership to Jaipuia, Lucknow's students

Post author By admin
Post date January 16, 2017

Not often do management students have an opportunity to interact with a high ranking official from the Ministry of HRD. Hence it was a huge privilege for students of Jaipuria, Lucknow when Mr. Anil Swarup, IAS, Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India made his presence felt on the campus on 29th December. He conducted an interactive session with the students, faculty and staff of the B School regaling them with his experiences and inspiring them to achieve their goals.

Anil Swarup is among the Top 35 Action Heroes of India by India Today. The Lal Bahadur Shastri Academy of Administration award winner is also known for his National Health Insurance Scheme.

The welcome address set the stage perfectly for Anil Swarup, who started his talk by sensitizing the audience about the functioning of the government body through real life examples and experiences. He shared his fundamental principle in life to enjoy every moment because you have no control over the future. “You need to have a discerning eye to identify an opportunity and to be judicious enough to avail it and be committed enough to achieve it,” he said urging the audience to make the most of the opportunities they have.

Listening to Anil Swarup talk about the time when he was assigned the task of formulating a
Health Insurance Scheme for the unorganized labor was inspiring and eye opening. He prepared a list of over 300 questions in a bid to cover all the queries anyone would have about the scheme. Through his own example he encouraged students to be curious and dedicated. “It is not essential that you know everything but it’s your desire to learn that matters. Be passionate about what you do especially when you can benefit strangers who need assistance as it is a big high,” he said.

‘Clarity of Thought’, ‘Having a clear cut focus’, ‘Curtailment of Craving’, ‘Discernment of a Kick and Acquisition of the Anticipated Goal’ and ‘Walk the Talk and then Talk’ were his personal mantras that Anil Swarup shared with the audience. He also mentioned working on Monetary Group and focusing on transparency; an important element of work environment. “Today Trust is in short supply and when it grows, you can get work done easily. You have to work on your interpersonal skills to be an effective team player and leader,” he reminded.

In fact, he addressed every student in the audience as a leader and said that leadership is about inspiring team members and treating them as our close ones. Anil Swarup used examples from popular books like “The Secret” and “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari” to drive home his point. “One should be selfish about change if it benefits the organization. There is no such thing as Objective Reality. Our interpretation is just a subjective analysis of the objective reality,” he concluded amidst a huge round of applause.

The interactive Q and A session that followed after the talk was the perfect culmination to what was a hugely informative and motivating day for the students.

Jaipuria Indore STUDENT Speaks

Can Management students develop themselves through peer reviews and learning? Jaipuria, Indore's PGDM student Arunava Acharjee from Kolkata tells us how.

Post author By admin
Post date January 16, 2017

When Arunava Acharjee moved from Kolkata to the heart of India to study at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore he had one thing in mind. He wanted to get a dynamic and diverse student experience which would mould him into an adaptable professional tomorrow. On campus he interacts with fellow students from all over the country, who have their unique academic backgrounds as well. For Arunava learning with them and adjusting to different situations is helping him grow, and reach his goals. “Immensely”.

Being at the “centre” of the activity

Although Arunava points out that moving from the East of the country to the center was not a difficult choice, but why did he specifically pick Jaipuria, Indore to pursue his management dreams? “Jaipuria is a good brand name and interestingly the venture started from Kolkata. There is a lot going on in central India today. And when you consider the quality of education offered here compared to the costs, you know it’s a brilliant choice. The return on investments for students is very high,” he says.

Being adaptable to the changes and challenges

Arunava claims that he had never lived in a hostel before and it has been an enriching experience for him so far. While moving to a lush green campus was a plus, dealing with vegetarian food was a tough ask for the Kolkata boy. But thankfully a protein center was set up on the campus and brought a smile to his face.

However Arunava claims that overcoming these challenges is a huge part of his learning experience. “I came here because I wanted to move out of my comfort zone. In some ways it is my preparation to be able to adjust anywhere. Companies look for professionals who are adaptable and ready to work from different places. Now I can say that I am up for that,” he adds.

Being a student again

Before joining Jaipuria, Indore Arunava had worked with Elogix Software Ltd as an Online Marketing executive for over a year. Ask him if his work experience hinders him as a student or has its advantages, Arunava picks the latter. “Work experience is definitely helpful because as a student you don’t know much about corporate culture, which you can now relate to,” he explains.

Arunava then points out to the learning during his Business Communications class that hits home because of the similarity with the work he had done as a professional. “It was exactly the kind of work I was doing but I only understood the full extent of its importance after studying the subject. My work experience helped me understand the concepts better,” he reflects.

Being an ideal classmate

Of course it wasn’t easy for Arunava to get back to studies after experiencing the independence of being a professional. But he insists that studying with peers from different backgrounds helped him slip into the student role. “Working with students from diverse educational, cultural and professional backgrounds is stimulating because there are always new ideas flying around. We are constantly working on projects and assignments, which ends up being an even bigger learning experience,” he states.

Moving states takes Kaveri Goswami of Jaipuria, Lucknow on a journey of self-discovery

Post date January 16, 2017

When Kaberi Goswami left her home in the serene state of Assam, she knew that she was leaving her comfort zone way behind. However she is of the opinion that getting an education in a worldly setup is more important than holding on to emotional bonds. That’s why she was prepared to go the distance with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow, which she calls her home today. Here she tells us how the geographical shift has offered her life lessons that will stay with her forever.

Initial inhibitions

Kaberi, a B.Com Honors graduate was always aware that to reach her career goals she would have to pursue her PGDM from a renowned institute. Jaipuria, Lucknow’s reputation drew her to the B School but of course she had to battle her inhibitions and fears as she made the journey across the country. “Initially I was worried about the cultural barriers, which can get quite overwhelming. But I was certain that I was not going to let it get in my way of getting world class education,” she says.

Home is where your heart is

Studying in a fairly alien environment can be a taxing experience for any student. But Kaberi confirms that things never really got threateningly challenging for her because of the warm welcome she received at Jaipuria, Lucknow. “Everyone has been very welcoming from Day 1. I have always had the support of my friends and faculty members. In fact, the environment at the hostel is very homely and there is a constant sharing, exchanging of ideas, which is enriching,” she adds.

Learning through experiences of fellow students

Jaipuria, Lucknow is home to many students like Kaberi who have come here from different parts of the country. She believes that their diverse backgrounds ensure that students learn from each other and understand different perspectives. “I would rate the peer learning experience at the institute as 4 on 5. There is a lot of healthy competition in the classroom, which helped me gain knowledge. Jaipuria, Lucknow is a brilliant platform to learn and grow through experiences of your peers,” she says thoughtfully.

Personal gains from the geographical shift

Kaberi is a shining example of Regional Diversity at Jaipuria Institute of Management. She took the first step by moving to Lucknow and the B School became her window to the world of opportunities. Through them she has learned, grown and come into her own. She talks about the transformation as she concludes, “Today I am more knowledgeable of different cultures. I have gained in confidence and become more adaptable. I can also handle stress a lot better and believe am on the right path in my professional and personal journey.”

Ex-professionals bring their experience, freshers come with new perspectives. Rahul Sharma believes that it creates a stimulating mix of talent at Jaipuria, Lucknow

Post author By admin
Post date January 16, 2017

Rahul Sharma, student of PGDM Batch 18 at Jaipuria, Lucknow believes that staying in your hometown might offer you familiar comforts, but moving away makes you adaptable and teaches you crucial life skills. Recruiters today want to hire professionals who are willing to adapt and change. “At Jaipuria, Lucknow cultural diversity is integral; so there are many students like me and I instantly felt at home here. So it was the perfect decision for me, both personally and professionally,” says the student from Assam who had a year’s experience to boot as well.

He has travelled the distance from the stunning North East to the historic city of Lucknow. But according to Rahul this is just the beginning and he can go far boosted by the learning at his B School; there’s history of his own to be made.

Big decision, made calmly

Rahul had already worked for a year with a Prodigy Communication and Marketing Pvt. Ltd as an Outdoor Sales Executive. But he was of the opinion that you can earn money anytime, knowledge should be gathered as early as you can. That’s why he took the plunge at the B School that has come to be the knowledge hub amongst management aspirants all over the country.

“Three things about Jaipuria, Lucknow attracted me to it – the brand name, the education structure and the faculty team. I also got a positive feedback from the seniors when I was doing my research about the institute. I knew my future would be in safe hands with the institute. I am glad I made that decision because it has a welcoming environment too and I have never felt that I am away from home,” he says thoughtfully.

Making your past work for you

A commerce graduate, Rahul was always clear that a Bachelor’s degree wasn’t enough to give him the edge in the competitive professional world. Hence going back to studies after working for a year seemed like the best thing to do. “I think without a management degree I would find it difficult to take my job profile to a higher level. But after my PGDM I am convinced that I will be picked for better positions,” he says candidly.

Rahul has already managed to use his work experience to his advantage in the classroom. He claims that it has been not only been helpful in understanding concepts but while performing in different challenges as well. “Having the real world experience to fall back on when you are trying to understand new concepts is definitely useful. I feel I will have the right blend of professional experience and academic qualifications after this program,” he adds confidently.

Knowledge sharing at the heart of learning on the campus

For Rahul, studying with a diverse group of people at Jaipuria, Lucknow has been one of the highlights of the learning experience. He admits that meeting students from various states on campus is exciting. It has helped him adjust and adapt to all kinds of situations and different kinds of people.

“There is a high level of exchange of knowledge between peers here and I believe that is extremely beneficial. We learn by sharing ideas with each other all the time. Given our diverse backgrounds we have different perspectives, which actually help our teamwork. I believe we have all grown through this experience,” he says.

What’s with learning Management from a diverse pool of peers?
Read how Gaurav Singh, PGDM, Jaipuria Noida, Class 2018’s journey from South to North is helping him both teach and learn from his friends

Jaipuria Institute of Management campuses attract students from different backgrounds in large numbers. Be it culture, state, academic, professional, language and gender. The school ensures the classroom experience for its students to be diverse in as many ways as possible. This diversity also gets shaped by a sizeable number of engineering graduates who come to the B-School to further their career prospects. Gaurav Singh is one of them. With over a year’s experience to boot, the Bangalore boy made the journey across the length of the country to Noida. He believes there has been a similar upward moving trajectory in his growth as an individual since.

Climbing North with a purpose

Gaurav admits that his decision to enroll with Jaipuria, Noida was a calculated and carefully thought out decision. According to him, “The Marketing course offered at this campus was unique and included practical exposure in 2nd trimester. I am interested in Marketing domain and I had noticed that there are many exciting opportunities in the North in this field.”

The decision might have been a straightforward one for Gaurav, but it couldn’t have been without any hiccups. After all, relocating from one end of the country to another cannot be easy. However he looks at the positives as he says, “Well, the food can be a problem sometimes. But these issues would crop up no matter where you moved in the world; you have to be flexible.”

Working his way up the success ladder

After completing his degree in Mechanical Engineering, Gaurav worked with JV Global for one year and six months. He worked as a trainer with the company and claims that it was challenging because the crowd varies with their expectations with a time cap. He knew it was time for a change and take things to a higher level.

Talking about his aspirations Gaurav says, “I came here because I want to have good career opportunities in the future, become a resource person and a more responsible individual. I think I have already become a more independent individual, who is also reliable and can handle different challenges that are thrown at me.”

Learning through sharing

Gaurav stresses on the fact that his work experience has not only helped him during the program but his batch mates as well. “With my job I had to meet different types of people on a daily basis. So I knew about people management, which I learned in the Organizational Behavior course. I have tried to share my experiences with friends to make things relatable for them too,” he says.

At the same time Gaurav remains aware of the fact that he has gained a lot by interacting with batch mates from all over the country with different professional and academic backgrounds. “Peers have unique potential, and learning opportunity is always available. Concept of group formation and various tasks with the same team is amazing,” he ends enthusiastically.

Post author By admin
Post date January 5, 2017

Never underestimate the power of a diverse classroom!
How is Danish Noor, PGDM, Class 2018 helping in the classroom experience of Jaipuria, Noida and how is the classroom helping Danish?

Danish in Urdu means knowledge and this PGDM student of Jaipuria Institute of management, Noida can very well be seen as someone trying to live up to the meaning his name embodies. Danish came to Jaipuria, Noida with 4 years work experience in his already impressive resume. He left the comfortable cocoon of one metro city in order to adopt and learn from another. One might want to ask- “why Jaipuria Institue of Management particularly?” when Danish also had a host of other B-schools to choose from. Well Danish has an answer!

“One of the highlights of studying at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida is that you get to interact and learn from students from diverse backgrounds.” Interestingly, Danish himself symbolizes the classroom diversity at Jaipuria, Noida to a large extent. How? He is a commerce graduate. He comes from Kolkata. He has four years of professional experience backing his case up further. And oh, if that isn’t enough already, Danish did wade a lot of water in Sales and Marketing in his previous workplace!

Let’s read a bit more about Danish Noor. How is Danish helping in the classroom experience of Jaipuria, Noida and how is the classroom helping Danish?

When things slow down, you take them up a ‘North’

Danish was working with Reliance Capital, Kolkata as a Sales and Marketing Person in Vehicle Financing. But after 4 years he felt he was stagnating and needed a boost to his career. He heard about Jaipuria, Noida from an alum friend, then did his own research and decided to head North. “Jaipuria, Noida has good track record in terms of Placements, Alumni network and Faculties. Adding to that is the peer learning experience. I left my job as a Branch Sales Manager but haven’t regretted that decision even once,” he says.

How is Danish’s work-ex helping Danish as well as his peers?

Danish is of the opinion that your work experience can actually come handy during your PGDM as you can relate to the concepts you learn in the classroom a lot better. He explains, “It is kind of an Experience First, Learn Later phenomenon. Given my prior work experience I can understand how things get done practically in the real world and it helps me during presentations. I hope it helps my batch mates as well because here we learn a lot from sharing.”

Why peer learning is an enriching experience?

Danish admits that just like his batch mates can gain from his professional experience, he benefits by learning with students from different backgrounds. He claims that studying after a gap of 4 years wasn’t easy for him but he has managed with his classmates’ support. “Even in organizations people work in teams and peer learning makes things easier. At Jaipuria, Noida we feed off each other’s energy, ideas, and have our friends’ back, which makes learning here a completely pleasurable experience,” he adds thoughtfully.

Home is where your heart is!

According to Danish, his B School and friends have made him feel at home in a short span of time. While as a professional he wants to build a professional network, be more confident and hone his analytical thinking, he believes as an individual he is making giant strides already. “I believe as a management student you have to be more adaptable to change. Not that I needed to be very flexible here because even though I was some distance away from home I instantly felt comfortable at Jaipuria, Noida. I have been very lucky,” he ends emotionally.

PGDM Class 2017’s Final placement season is underway! How is Jaipuria, Indore getting prepped?

Post author By admin
Post date January 3, 2017

When we say “Be Ready for Realising your dreams” we mean every word by giving you the Be-School that prepares you to Be. A latest instance to that is Jaipuria, Indore’s interactive session with Rishiraj Singh – Head Placements, Jaipuria Group of Institutes. Held on 24th and 25th of November, it was meant to help students align to the upcoming placement season. Both Class of 2017 and 2018.

From day zero of a student’s starting with Jaipuria Institute of Management, the B-school prepares the future managers in every way to make them industry ready. The talk with Rishiraj coordinated by members of Training and Placement Committee encouraged PGDM 2017 and 2018 students to strategically approach companies for recruitments, whether it is for summer internships or for final placements.

Rishiraj made students aware of the best practices followed by other top b-schools such as the IIMs. According to him, “The main role of placement coordinators is to interact with various HRs of the companies, convert as many of them as possible, facilitate and welcome them on campus. You also need to make sure that students have proper interaction with previous batches and know the trends.”

Rishiraj began the session with first years with a task at hand. He asked students to make a list of their short and long-term goals as they prepare for the placement season. He believes career plans can help students choose classes they should take, extracurricular activities, research, so that they are best candidates for jobs. He then emphasized on the importance of Summer Internships and how they can benefit from it while making the best choice at final placements.

In the session with the students of PGDM Batch 15-17, Rishiraj talked about the latest trends followed by recruiters. He helped students understand that, “Today companies are less focussed about the campus and more concerned about the attitude, behavior, and performance of the prospective candidate.” No doubt, to bag a great job, a lot many great things go behind it!

And what’s with first impression? The buzz phrase in the recruiters’ world since eternity has been “first impression”. Rishiraj had some advice on that. “The first impression can affect an interviewer’s attitude towards you throughout the evaluation process. If he feels positive towards you upon first look, he is more likely to listen with a keen interest. So, work on the impression you give out,” he said. Students also realized the huge role their appearance and body language can play in making these first impressions.

The session with Rishiraj who knows the placement process inside out, gave Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore students the necessary understanding, strengths, focus and motivation to prep them up for what’s coming ahead.
