Jaipuria Institute of Management opens campuses for Physical Classes

In the summer of 2020, when Shivani decided to take admissions for an MBA at Jaipuria Institute of Management, she had a bucket list of things to do on campus.

The one that topped her list was “making memories for life”. But because of the pandemic, her classes were held online regularly until now. Though learning never stopped at Jaipuria, all these months Shivani eagerly waited for the campus to reopen.

College means different things to different people. For some, it’s a mecca where dreams are built, where careers are given shape and the leaders of tomorrow are nurtured. To others, besides a career, college is also a place to make lifetime friends and create campus memories.

Palpable vibrant energy with students’ fills the campus as Jaipuria Institute of Management opens campuses for physical classes.

So, when Jaipuria Institute of Management decided to reopen the campus from January 2021 for physical classes, Shivani of the PGDM/MBA course 2020-22 batch was more than excited.

“The start of physical classes fills me with excitement and eager anticipation of who will join me in my courses and where our discussions will take us,” Shivani says.

Palpable vibrant energy fills the campus air as enthusiastic students return after seven months. The same goes for faculties and staff members who are eager to interact with freshers, newcomers, and existing students.

Everyone is more action-oriented than ever. The spirit to host the annual management fest like Ojas or National conference IIC at Lucknow, Youth 2025 at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur, or the annual all-campus alumni meet ‘Punarsangam’ at Jaipuria Noida is exemplary.

Talking about the arrangements on campus, Shivani says, “The Institute has meticulously planned to keep everybody safe and healthy. The institute’s response to the pandemic showcases its resolve towards safety. Their concrete plan to resume classes, with all precautions and safety measures intact, has ensured that each student gets top-of-the-line facilities to get an environment safe as home. Not just that, there are thermal scanners, hand sanitizers, masks, wherever you turn.”

Significant resources have been dedicated to bringing students, faculty, staff, and academic personnel back safely to a healthy campus. Jaipuria Management Institute in India has collaborated with HealthSetGo, one of the reputed healthcare organizations to develop the SOP guidelines on campus. Hundreds of person-hours have gone into planning because every small detail is necessary to prevent COVID-related health risks.

“Of course, the campus is a lot different now. At the entrance, temperature checks are mandatory. Students are strictly asked to follow physical distancing norms be it in the class, library, or cafeteria. Classroom sessions are held with 50% seating capacity,” says Syed Kamran, PGDM 2019-21 batch from Jaipuria Lucknow campus.

For Shivani and her classmates, seeing these arrangements in place conveys that – Jaipuria cares. She looks forward to the remaining semesters of the MBA program.

She says, “I feel it is important to interact with my peers to pursue acts of learning. I believe, besides studies, our class learning community equally shapes our personality.”

Indeed, creating a safe, healthy campus takes elbow grease and human concern.

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!

The Founding class graduate- Anshumal Dikshit. His 20 years. 5 industries. 1 dream project.

When you meet the 1997 PGDM alumni Mr. Anshumal Dikshit, it takes very little time to realize the secret behind all that success- the man is a perfect balance of grace and wisdom. Anshumal Dikshit has spent 20 years in the industry and interestingly, across five major sectors. He has tasted the waters of Manufacturing, Media, Banking, IT and Hospitality before he embarked on building his own successful venture as a veteran HR consultant. Today, Anshumal Dikshit runs one of the leading HR consulting agencies of North India- the HR Mantra Consulting and heads the office as its Principal Consultant.
1997 had seen Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow churn out its founding class- a group full of young, dynamic and ambitious professionals who are now creating wonders across the world. The young Lucknow boy Anshumal had stepped out of the campus with a placement offer from Sona Koyo Steering Systems Limited. Having spent couple of years in the Auto component manufacturing industry, he entered the eFunds world with HR Lead and soon shifted to Banking with Citi Group. Where others saw stumbling blocks, Anshumal Dikshit saw steppingstones. He spent considerable tenures across industries, bagging promotions, taking significant hikes, changing profiles to profiles and all that while, he went on learning and gathering valuable experience throughout his journey.

In 2007 Anshumal had an offer from the Oberoi Group. A big task where he had to head the 80 years old group’s Corporate Learning and OD function. “I enjoyed the years immensely there. It was a new sector for me and there was learning at every bend and turn of the road,” remarks Anshumal as he looks back at the years traversed. And then another short stint with Videocon as its Head HR in the Manufacturing unit and then finally Patni Computer Systems happened.
The man who has jumped from one industry to another with an insatiable hunger to learn and experiment new things finally took a pause at Patni for five years. His work earned him great many accolades and praises alongside colleagues’ infinite encouraging words. Atul Kulshreshtha, Vice President Business Services at Capgemini himself says- “I have been twice lucky to have Anshumal as my HR Leader once at IGATE/PATNI and earlier at eFunds/FIS.” Needless to say, experience backed with an endless drive to learn has no substitution, whatsoever.
And just when you will think Anshumal Dikshit has arrived in life, he would surprise you with more stunts in his portfolio. He left Patni, and joined Arvato, headquartered in Gutersloh, Germany. In his words- “As a Country Head for HR, Arvato was a unique opportunity that provided me a strategic direction to the enterprise and it helped me create capability for the next league.” And finally, with all the experience under his belt- he ventured out.
In 2016, Anshumal Dikshit laid down his 20 years plan- HR Mantra Consulting, the vague dream that he had once dreamt inside the classroom of Jaipuria Institute of Management. “I had chosen my specialization with a lot of clarity in my mind but then, to dream is one thing and to execute the dreams- another,” says the charming, handsome and successful alumni of Class 1997. Bottom line- “You got to know when you are ready. Everyone wants to start up today but Experience, you need it even today. The rules are still the same, yes, the games have definitely changed,” concludes Anshumal Dikshit with a broad smile on his face.

Eduroomz – A Story of Startup by 5 Jaipurians

Among the myriad tales of start-ups in India is a tale worth telling. This is a story of innovation, dream, tenacity and above all, of relentless motivation. This is the tale of Eduroomz.

“The greatest achievement was, at first, and for a time, but a dream.”
Napoleon Hill (from Think and grow rich)

Eduroomz was the dreamchild of Akshay, one of the 5 Jaipurians from the Lucknow campus who introduced the novel concept of providing classrooms to teachers. The journey of Eduroomz started as Akshay ramped up his team and implemented his idea on small- scale. While Akshay’s dream Start-up was just budding, Jaipuria’s MiDCOM BUSINESS CHALLENGE came as a boon to his team as they were given an opportunity to present their business plan. How could their dreams fail them? They won the title and were awarded a cash prize of Rs. 5 lakhs!

“If you have zeal to succeed, you have all you need to succeed”- is what Eduroomz believe in. Eduroomz provide rooms on rent to teachers who wish to impart knowledge but lack space to make their visions a reality. So if you are a teacher and have students with the desire to teach, Eduroomz has a room for you! The best part is the nominal cost, which is as low as Rs. 49 per hour. As a token to contribute to the society and not hinder the stream of knowledge from flowing, even in absence of monetary benefits Eduroomz is determined to provide rooms of knowledge to the weaker sections of society. So if you see an air conditioned classroom at Rs. 49 per hour (irrespective of the strength of the class), flexibility in terms of timings and independent work space to teachers, you are looking at an Eduroomz!

The Eduroomz team comprises of 5 members. Since it’s a startup by students, role switching is common and in a way this strengthens the team to explore all operational perspectives.

Right from the very beginning, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow has provided an uninterrupted support to Eduroomz. Because the expert team could recognise potential in budding enterpreneurs, be it providing various platforms to showcase a plan, mentorship and guidance, or networking, Jaipuria has been a pillar of support to Eduroomz. Jaipuria has also been working upon the team’s request to incorporate an incubation centre collaborated with the U.P. government.

It’s not that there have not been obstacles in the journey of Eduroomz. When it comes to education, ideas and results often do not coincide. Eduroomz has endured the obstacles and has built up a robust client network. Eduroomz is Lucknow’s well- knit network with well-equipped classrooms, conference halls, computer labs and study lounges. Eduroomz own 50+ properties with more than five thousand teaching slots in a month, where the priority is to provide teaching by experts at affordable prices.

Eduroomz is still experimenting to include other services, planning to expand its horizons over the next decade and create a niche where online teaching is taking over offline classrooms.

The most unanimous message that these young entrepreneurs wish to convey to those who aspire to have a start- up of their own someday is to be assured that no matter how meticulously they plan, their plans will fail, but the key is to plot a new scheme every time the old one is reduced to ashes. They also suggest stepping out and analysing the needs of target customers instead of planning in isolation because the key to a successful start- up is knowing the demands of target population and targeting them. Jaipuria is glad it could provide aid to these young minds and is committed to their success throughout their journey.

How Social Media & Google Search Can help (or Hurt) you in Job Hunt

Are you out of work? You have to hunt out for job now/ Have to change your job. The first thing that comes to mind when you are looking for a new job is putting together a good CV. Yes, you are thinking absolutely right. But this has today become little old-fashioned. Today internet is quite popular with job seekers. In the earlier days, an only way to know about the candidate for interviewer was to read the piece of paper written by the candidate himself called CV aka Resume aka Curriculum Vitae.

A CV used to be a piece of paper- essentially but played a very vital role in deciding a candidate’s destiny. This paper acted as a guessing piece for prospective employers to know your past, present and identify how as an employee you would turn out in future.

It has been quite some time that the new CV is in the town called – Google. All one needs to do is type your name into search engine of Google, and alas what you see if you are anywhere closer to internet which is likely to be… be it FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, your past and present employers sites or any other world of online media much about this can be visible (based on your privacy controls) and they know about your virtual life in and out. Ironically statistics proves that across the globe 35 % to 66 % people are rejected by employers based on findings through Google about them. The causes of rejection can be anything from bad grammar to spell errors, obscene language to bad words for previous employer, or it can be any incongruous content. At the same time your Google presence creatively; impressive network and demonstrated professionalism ay help you to fetch the job very easily.

Are you zapped? So was I. when I thought about it. Today we just cannot imagine our life without Google. Here’s a small piece of advice for all young aspirants to manage their Google CV well. You can oversee your Google search, Fill in your details completely wherever possible, and magnify your online presence.

1. Oversee

Sketch your own personality. The one you would like to be drawn to your prospective employer. The list of adjectives that add acclaim to yourself needs to be identified. It can vary from being professional to disciplined and hardworking; confident to well connected; trustworthy to cheerful disposition just to name a few. Once you have made up your mind, Go and Google yourself. Go to all the possible pages that are visible on first 50 or 100 searches and edit / delete anything that you may feel contradicts the image you wish to carry out. If you find something contradictory, and you don’t know how to remove the same, use again Google for it. Google definitely had answers for your complicated queries and step by step instructions to follow. Be 100 percent assured that you are the only one who needed this, there are many more earlier than you have already had similar doubts. Pick the latest ones from the search options and follow the same.

2. Fill In

For this piece of portion I advise fill the fill in the blanks wherever possible, even the bullet points, sub points. I mean to say, fill in every minute details possible, until and unless you got solid reason to leave them blank. On sites like LinkedIn, Twitter definitely ensure that you fill it completely and keep it updated, since an outdated profile will only make you unprofessional.

3. Magnify it

How one can increase his virtual aura is important to note. There are several ways to do it.

Blogs: Today people right about themselves, their own thoughts, comments about the world’s latest happenings. If you don’t have one, its ok, start one today based on the expertise you carry and keep updating it on regular basis. Still don’t know how to go about it – again guru mantra is go Google it. There are over 200 million blogs in the world; all one needs to do is to find out how to avoid the identity crisis. Employers generally prefer to see concrete and expert opinions on your blogs rather than philosophical writings.

Twitter: for some writing in 25 words is in thing. Blogs have become outdated for them. Texting and tweeting have become so popular that if you go for it, brevity becomes your identified skill.

YouTube Videos: Many prospective employers wish to see your presentation videos. Use your smartphone to get some videos clicked for you and create your repository on YouTube. You may use various other options available on the internet, but YouTube is the best one that can be utilized.

Forums: the organized groups on the subject matter are formed on the internet and are available on various social networks are the right places to be in. Join the one that fits you apply and where you can speak up on regular basis and demonstrate that you are an expert in the subject/ area.it is a wise decision to get noticed as a specialist through these forums.

After this one can really feel that he/she already had a resume which is just a click away and Googling really going to be an important decision-making attribute.

The sudden government policy introduced limit on monetary value for purchasing jewellery, therefore, I had to almost change the product portfolio within the wink of an eye and it would not have been possible had I not stayed in close touch with the Strategy of my business. You need to align your business goals with the vision you had started the business with, in the very first place.”

She further shed light on various aspects of strategic management by stating importance of setting vision and mission for the organization, choosing a product/service depending upon the market, making detailed analysis of external environment and organizational strengths, and to formulate strategies to meet the desired objectives. She advocated setting SMART goals and to break the long-term goals into annual goals to achieve them.

Bela Badhalia is also known for Dyuti- a start up initiative for generating employment for women in the jewellery industry. Passionately fighting for women rights and fetching means to bring women empowerment, Bela Badhalia’s Dyuti served as a complete inspiration for the PGDM students of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur.
