Anmol Agarwal, who has joined Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur in the 2012 academic session, hails from the city of Ajmer. Anmol has always been very good at Math, and after finishing his schooling from St. Pauls’, he pursued an Engineering degree in Computer Science from Government Engineering College in Ajmer. After clearing Engineering with a score of 72.5 per cent, Anmol knew that he could make it to a top-notch B-school anywhere in the country. But owing to family matters, he could not go very far from Ajmer. That’s when he heard about Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur.

“Over the years, ‘Jaipuria brand’ has grown considerably. Since I wanted to take admission in a college which is near Ajmer, Jaipuria Jaipur proved to be the best option for me.”

Having been pretty active on the extra-curricular front, Anmol has really come into his own in Jaipuria, Jaipur.

“My hobbies include playing football and table tennis, and I love hanging out with friends. Jaipuria, Jaipur has helped me channelise my strengths right from Day 1. During the induction programme, some sessions were really good and very interactive. So far, I’ve had the opportunity to be a part of a skit, Ad mania – the Ad competition, various sports and have even been one of the anchors at the recently held International Conference at Jaipuria, Jaipur.”

Anmol finds the faculty at Jaipuria Jaipur extremely knowledgeable, and with just the right mix of industry and academic orientation.

“It really feels great when teachers appreciate my work – Professor Lokesh Vijayvargy especially, because he trusts me a lot. Since Professor Vijayvargy is also from an Engineering background, he understands the kinds of challenges that engineering students face in adjusting to Management classes. Professor Shailesh Rastogi is also a wonderful teacher. His style of teaching is a bit different, but sometimes it works wonders. Of course, Professor Rastogi teaches Finance, and that is why he uses varied techniques to simplify the complicated topics. We’ve had some sessions with Professor S. P. Garg on Inquest, and his way of teaching is very corporate and democratic.”

Anmol says that his only expectation from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur is for it to give him his deserved shot in life. On completing his management education, he would like to be a part of an organisation that can take his practical learning even further. According to him, that is something that will hold him in good stead in the long run.

“I came from the retail industry, not only did Jaipuria Noida prepare me for a much bigger role, but it also ensured that I was ready for the finance and banking industry.”

Prashant Sharma passed out with the latest batch of managers (2012 batch) from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida and has now been placed with Indian Bank as an Assistant Manager. A product of TAFS (The Air Force School), Subroto Park, Prashant completed his BBA from Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, in 2009, but instead of going for his MBA immediately, he decided to get some work experience.

“After my graduation, I worked in store operations with Jumbo Electronics at their outlet in the GIP (Great India Place) Mall, Noida. My role was on the floor, and required round-the-clock interaction with customers. This experience turned me into an extrovert in my professional life. I became quite comfortable about dealing with people from different strata of society.”

After gathering this valuable 13-month work experience, Prashant decided it was time to go for an MBA and take his career to the next level. After carefully going through all his options, he zeroed in on Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida.

“Those were the two most enjoyable years of my life. We worked hard, but partied even harder. In fact, I still remember the subgradation for not having made an 80% attendance. The most enjoyable part was preparing presentations with a group, and regular outings to Shipra Mall. I’m still in touch on Facebook with all my friends.”

Prashant finds his new station in life, as an Assistant Manager in Indian Bank, exciting and challenging. Four months into his job, he is seeing a huge learning curve in understanding different avenues of the banking industry in the effective execution of his tasks. From talking to Prashant, it is evident that his sense of gratitude to Jaipuria Noida cannot be explained in words.

“I came from the Retail industry. Not only did Jaipuria Noida prepare me for a much bigger role, but it also ensured that I was completely ready for the Finance and Banking Industry. More importantly, it gave me the necessary discipline and attitude to make this transition smooth. As a part of the Banking Industry, I deal with a very different group of people, whose needs are financial in nature.”

Prashant feels that Jaipuria Institute of Management’s greatest strength is its ability to make its students competitive. He recalls the numerous occassions on which he was pitted against strong opponents, especially at the NEN (National Entrepreneurship Network) competition.

“The NEN competitions are challenging, and it is a test of creativity, intelligence, out-of-the-box thinking, teamwork, leadership qualities and a burning desire to win. There are more than 200 events over seven days, and the panel of NEN officials judges every college. Events are as per the themeand require the involvement of the Host College, external participants and sponsors. We beat teams from BIMTEC, IIT Delhi, Amity University, Delhi University and the Asia Pacific Institute to become the national champions. Me and my team members – Abhijit, Mitali, Roli, Jaspreet and Vikram – are all recognised as Entrepreneurship Leaders by NEN.”

Prashant is positive that within the next five years he will be able to grow to the level of a Branch Manager at Indian Bank. He firmly believes that Jaipuria Institute of Management has given him all the skills he needs to climb to great heights.

A commerce graduate from Lucknow University, Paritosh is passionate about the Finance and Banking sector and says, “Finance has always been my forte and banks are the best place to showcase your talent. I have always had an urge to learn and excel in life. Like any professional, I also had highs and lows, but adaptability to change makes you face up to all the uncertainties in life. Over the course of time I have mastered both Retail and Wholesale Banking methods and processes.”

At present, Paritosh is presently working in ICICI Bank Ltd. as Regional Head – Uttar Pradesh & Uttarakhand for the Corporate and Government Banking Group. He heads a team of five people and says with conviction that his journey so far has been enriching and rewarding.

He has learnt and developed his skills in each of his assignments and has several awards to his credit as well. He won the ICICI Bank Leadership Award 2012 and was awarded as a Leader for being the top exemplar in Chief Manager Band I Category for Collaboration and exemplar in Sensitivity (Both are the top DNAs in ICICI Bank’s Spirit of Leadership Policy). He also has the distinction of receiving the Citibank Global Quality Dividend Award for the year 2001 for an IWDW redesign project, which was picked as the best quality project by Citibank & e-Serve India, across the globe. A sterling career marks Paritosh’s achievements and he attributes all his successes to hard work. For his juniors at Jaipuria, he only has advice to offer on the value of knowledge and perseverance: “Knowledge makes you confident and there is no short-cut to success.”

The two years Paritosh spent at Jaipuria Lucknow were rewarding for him, both professionally and personally. . “What I remember most from those days is the learning that has been with me throughout my career and the batch-mates who have become a part of my life”. He believes in the network he built at Jaipuria and makes consistent efforts to stay in touch with his batch-mates through social networking sites and on the phone. He advises current youngsters to invest time and effort in these relationships. “Apart from learning constantly, one must value relationships in college.”

Success has not made Paritosh complacent – on the contrary, every achievement has only increased his zeal and enthusiasm. In the next five years, he wants to rise to be a Zonal head for one of the verticals of the wholesale banking group, and is working towards this goal with high spirits and full faith.

Post date December 29, 2012

Juhi Sharma was clear that she wanted to earn her postgraduate degree in Management from one of the best management institutes in the country, and that brought her to Jaipuria Indore. Juhi comes from the city of Ujjain and did her graduation in Commerce (B.Com Hons.) from Vikram University, Ujjain. She joined the PGDM programme at Jaipuria Indore with dual specialisation in HR and Marketing.

Summer internships are not only an academic requirement at Jaipuria, but are also looked upon as an opportunity to learn in a live environment. Juhi did her summer internship with Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd. in Dewas. Her project was a research-based assignment, wherein she interacted with supervisors in the department to understand their perception of the Performance Appraisal Policy. “I learnt a lot about the HR policies framed in Ranbaxy Laboratories and got the opportunity to learn from the General Manager himself and all other employees working in several departments at Ranbaxy”, says Juhi. She thinks that the internship has enabled and enhanced her analytical thinking and decision-making skills, apart from the functional insights she now has. “My internship will have a positive impact on my future plans and aspirations, because this is the first time I have been introduced to some practical work done in the Human Resource Department of a Manufacturing Industry.”

Placements and internships are completely organised, planned and supported functions at Jaipuria. As Juhi says, “I got a lot of support from my faculty mentor, Prof. Megha Jain. Throughout my internship, I relied on her advice and guidance, especially when I was facing problems”. Every student receives individual attention towards personality development from the faculty mentor. Students are also encouraged to participate in conclaves and seminars being held at Jaipuria as well as other colleges. There are mock interviews on campus before the students are faced with the corporate campus interviews. Students also go through several group discussions and are taught to write professional job applications and statements of purpose. Soft skills training ensure that students understand grooming and body language, among other communication skills.

Juhi is a hard-working student who reaps the benefits of her education in the form of her college rankings and grades. She is actively involved in sports and cultural events in the college. She loves the diversity that the hostel on the campus offers, and feels this adds to the entire learning experience. She believes that Jaipuria is one of the best MBA colleges in the country , not only in terms of the academic excellence, but also owing to the overall development it is able to foster. “Jaipuria gave me lot of confidence and the kind of positive energy that will help me do well in future. Thanks to efforts like the Young Enterprise Mentorship Programme and Summer Internship Programme, I now have the strength to face the corporate world.” An avid reader and movie lover, Juhi is on her way to making a mark in the field of HR, and is confident of her success.

After graduating, she decided to pursue the PGDM programme at Jaipuria Jaipur on a friend’s recommendation. Her friend was already a student there and was all praises for the faculty and infrastructure.

Puja believes Jaipuria provides a platform for experiential learning to its students through various activities. As she says, “I enjoyed being a part of Pragati (Parivartan, a CSR initiative) in which we provide free of cost education to the underprivileged children of village Dantli. I also enjoyed being a Coordinator for the International Conference for Creating Sustainable Business, which was a great learning experience for me.” She has enjoyed these activities immensely and has even emerged a winner in some of them. “My most memorable day in JIMJ was when I won the 1st prize in The Import, Export And Forex Mechanism quiz and when I topped the class in the 1st semester with a CGPA of 3.67 out of 4.”

“I want to be a manager with a multinational when I pass out”, says Puja with conviction. She believes Jaipuria is the right place to equip herself with the skills and aptitude required by industry.

They make learning possible for me”. More than everyone else, Puja is impressed with the Director of Jaipuria Jaipur, Dr. Rajiv Thakur, who she thinks is the best role model and an excellent manager himself.

Pursuing her hobbies and her academic pursuits, Puja dreams of a future in the corporate world and is working hard to achieve her goals.

No Comments on 3rd HR Conclave at Jaipuria Jaipur

On 15th December 2012, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur organised the 3rd HR Conclave on its campus. The conclave was envisaged to not only help the PGDM HR students understand the trends and nuances of the HR industry, but also for all management students to get insights into skill building and recruitment. Several industry stalwarts attended the conclave and shared their experiences with the students.

The inaugural panel discussion had Mr. Umesh Upadhyay(Infosys BPO), Mrs. Aditi Gupta(HR Manager, Rajasthan, Bosch Ltd.)and Mr Sanjay Satkalmi (Manager, Talent Acquisition, Future Group). They all emphasised the importance of skill development in different sectors. Mrs. Aditi Gupta also went into some detail about the selection criteria and the selection process at Bosch Ltd.

The focus of the conclave was mapping ‘the right skills with the right job at the right time’ for the critical growth of a company. It brought to the fore the role of HR professionals in defining the roles, selecting the right people and then grooming them consistently to evolve and grow with the organisation. During the conclave, the ambit of the discussions widened to include ‘the right skill sets for employability today’ and ‘exploring new skills required in the emerging markets’. The discussions brought home the point that good training and the development of skill sets at the B-school level need to be explored and built into the curriculum so that the courses remain industry-relevant.

The second and third panel discussions included Mr.Akhilesh Sharma (CEO, A3 Logistics) who also happens to be the President’s Award winner for a successful business in MSME. He discussed the hardships and challenges faced by a management student after completing his/her course. He also shared his experiences as a young entrepreneur. It was evident that he awed, inspired and motivated everyone present with the story of his life and many achievements. Mr. Ranjan Malhotra (Senior Manger- Hiring, Genpact), Mr. Jayendra Chaturvedi(HR Head, Mother Dairy) and Mr. Nitin Kalani(naukri.com) also discussed the importance of skill development and the challenges faced in achieving it. Mr. Jayendra Chaturvedi said, “The moment you join any corporate job, itdoes not mean that you will get the best of the things deserved by you instantly. You need to earn that reputation for yourself. It’s also important to remember that you should never get demotivated by failures; in fact, it is the failure that gives you the positive energy and lessons to move towards your goal”.

There were many questions raised by the students during these interactions, including queries about the skills required to be a good HR executive during recruitment as an interviewer and what they expect from candidates when they are asked to say something about themselves. This question was answered by Mr.Satkalmi and Mr.Upadhyay, who said that they assessed the candidate on how well and efficiently he could sum up about himself in a short period of time.

The conclave was a resounding success, not only for the students who were preparing for placements, but also for those who were looking at HR as a specialisation.

Alumni Speak Jaipuria Lucknow

“With professors like Dr. Mussana, Dr. Kavita Pathak and Dr. Asha kaul, and a team of colleagues who were always around, the two years at jaipuria lucknow allowed me to experience the spirit of team-work and dedication.”

Post date December 24, 2012

For Manish Arora, life after Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow has been like a journey on the open seas – with turbulence at times and some smooth sailing at others. In all these years, if there’s one thing that has held him in good stead, it is the ‘Never Say Die’ attitude he acquired at Jaipuria Lucknow.

“With professors like Dr.Mussana, KavitaPathak, Dr. Asha Kaul and a team of colleagues who were always around, those two years at Jaipuria Lucknow allowed me to experience the spirit of team-work and dedication.”

Today, Manish Arora is regarded as one of the best known names in the advertising industry. As the Founder and Co-owner ofTHE ZEBRAS, he is based out of Mumbai. The firm currently handles the advertising businesses of clients like Gitanjali Jewels, Reliance Big CBS, Thrill, Videocon d2h and IOSIS spa. Manish effectively juggles his advertising work with his additional responsibilities as a strategic consultant with Mode Advertising, an agency with a pan-India presence and clients such as the State Bank of India, SAIL, MTNL, BSNL, Central Bank of India, etc.

“After completingmy PGDM from Jaipuria Lucknow, I started my professional journey in Mumbai with Quadrant Communication, handling brands like Sansui and Nakamichi – a Japanese brand of high-end sound systems. It was at that point that Sansui launched its movie awards to gain an edge in the entertainment industry. This was my first exposure to the world of entertainment and events. ‘Sansui Movie Awards’ rubbed shoulders with Filmfare for over 5 years. It was absolutely tremendous!”

Manish Arora was thereafter snapped up by the advertising giant Ogilvy & Mather, handling brands like Asian Paints and Mattel Toys – the legendary US multinational with brands like Hot Wheels, Fischer Price and Barbie in their portfolio. While most in his place would have leveraged their position to climb up the ladder in O&M, Manish had different ideas.

“To add teeth to my advertising knowledge and become a complete communications expert, I joined Percept Advertising, where I looked after brands like Godrej Tea, Godrej X’s in the FMCG sector, Godrej’s rural retail initiative Aadhaar, AMW (an HCV venture from the Essar group), Next (India’s largest electronics retail chain) and Goa Tourism. All these brands provided me with hands-on experience and a 360-degree view of communications.”

Manish gained immense international experience while promoting Goa as the perfect holiday destination, across the globe. All this while, his understanding of India grew stronger as he travelled the length and breadth of the country, promoting Next in the urban and Aadhaar in the rural landscape areas. He mastered the art of new product launches with the launch of ‘AMW – the Global truck’ manufactured by HCV. This also gave him insights into the automobile industry, which would prove very handy in his entrepreneurship days.

“At this stage, I decided to associate with Saints & Warriors, a start-up venture, where I worked on campaigns for brands like AMUL Macho(with the whacky punchline ‘Ye To Bada Toing Hai!’), Frankfinn Institute of air hostess training, Total Lubricants, Pantaloons and Staples – a fortune 500 US retailer of stationery items. The immense success of the Amul Macho campaign gave me wings to go ahead with THE ZEBRAS.”

Manish believes that the communication world is fast shrinking into mobile phones, with the advent of powerful social media tools like FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.Combined with the conventional communication tools,reaching the customer is possible 24X7 today.

“My advice to the current batches of Jaipuria Lucknow is ‘get out and get on your own’. Text book knowledge is not enough, practical experience is a must. Take initiative and interact more with the professional world. Open a dialogue with your 2000-strong alumni – all it takes to start a dialogue is a simple ‘hello’, ‘like’ or a mail.”

Clearly, Manish Arora is one alumnus of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow who has all the makings – and the willingness – to be a great alumni mentor. His offer will be snapped up by youngsters at Jaipuria Lucknow sooner rather than later!
