Alumni Speak Jaipuria Jaipur Jaipuria Jaipur Home

A lookbook to how the recent graduates of Jaipuria, Jaipur help their juniors make it to the lists of premium companies

Jaipuria Institute of Management’s alumni are extraordinary in ways. Our alums’ contribution to the b-school is unarguably remarkable, helping the entire community of Jaipurians move the world forward- one at a time. Located across various parts of the country and the globe, our alumni help juniors make the best of their PGDM- sometimes through webinar sessions around multiple topics, through frequent mentoring, through guest lectures on campus, counseling them rigoruously before pre-placement season and what not!

Apart from being ambassadors, they have built formidable reputation for themselves as source of inspiration for their juniors. Jaipuria Institute of Management’s alumni take out valuable time from their busy schedules and fly down to the campus (that was once home for them!) to provide their guidance. Often, the guest lectures are conducted by students from the most recent graduating batch. This is beneficial for the students, most specifically because these alumni can provide the latest insights into the job market and placement preparation having been through the process themselves most recently.

Three recent interactions between the current batch and alumni from the Batch of 2015-17 illustrate the value of almuni mentoring at Jaipuria Institute of Management:

Bennett Elias, Assistant Manager, Mahindra Finance | 14 August

Dr. Lokesh Vijayvargy, Dean- Student’s Affairs welcomed Bennett who provided valuable insights into Mahindra Finance. He also educated the students that skills like communication, situational handling and attitude play an important role during placements.

His practical tips on reading newspapers regularly, forming peer groups to focus on industries, and to polish GD/PI skills with help of these peer groups were particularly useful. Bennett also guided the students to zero down the company on the basis of Job Profile, package, location, and growth.

Akshat Jhalani and Aarushi Jain, US Tax Consultants, Deloitte Hyderabad | 5 August

Akshat and AarushiAkshat and Aarushi specialized in Finance and Marketing respectively and were first among students who got placed in Deloitte, besides receiving the highest package of their batch.

Since Deloitte is a favoured recruiter, students were particularly interested in the insights that this session promised. The alumni spoke about building focus at an early stage and how students can be successful by concentrating on skills and knowledge.

Specifically, the alumni covered aptitude tests, skill requirement, interview preparation and emphasized extensive participation in events. They also stated the paramount importance of LSRW and being able to talk through the SIP experience for placement interviews.

Pragnesh Mehrunkar, Client Success Manager (Media Planning) Kenscio Digital Marketing Pvt. Ltd.

PragneshThe popularity of Digital Marketing made this particular session particularly interesting for the students. Pragnesh spoke about his responsibilities in this exciting field and walked students through aspects of client pitching, proposal preparation, negotiation tactics, and client service. He spoke about how undergraduate specializations do not matter in this field and how important it is to build domain expertise in Digital Marketing for success. He also discussed the current trends such as banner ads, jacket ads, video ads, email marketing, and dynamic emails.

Interning with the Media industry- "not a child's play" and here's what Nimisha Dua of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow has to say about her summer

It’s not just glam and glitz in the world of Media. In fact, behind-the-curtains, the world is full of challenges, ethical ambiguities, pressing deadlines, last minute emergencies and intense test of intelligence. For Nimisha Dua of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow, her summer could not be better spent. “I interned with Discovery Communications India and have an insight into the dynamic and fascinating media industry. It gave me the opportunity to analyze my interests, strengths and capabilities,” she says as she recounts her experience.

On the road to self-‘Discovery’ with Discovery Communications India! Just how successful was Nimisha?

nimish1‘A detailed study on the availability and reach of the channels of Discovery Communications India in South and West India’ was the theme of Nimisha’s project. Nimisha had to track the non-availability of the channels in designated weeks and get them functional by talking to the FPRs. “I would start the day by reading news from media industry and carry out data analysis, interpretations, and connect with FPRs to trace any discrepancies. I also did an analysis on chrome data of non-availability of channels and competitor comparison,” she talks about the tasks that brought valuable experience.

Coping with the challenges- you need to walk that extra mile. Did Nimisha do it?

nimish2Nimisha is a Jaipurian after all! Given that it was her first close brush with the corporate world, especially in the media industry, there were bound to be challenges. Getting feedback from the FPRs was one of the biggest challenges, and required perseverance from her in the form of regular emails, calls and text messages. “But throughout my internship I was there with the belief that I was learning something new through these challenges. I was prepared to work for long hours, do more than what was required and go that extra mile to deliver on my responsibilities,” she adds.

Was Nimisha prepared to beat the blues of the Media industry?

Nimisha talks glowingly about her industry and institute mentors, who were always available to clear her doubts and monitor her progress. In fact, before her internship started, her industry mentor offered her special advice to be ready for the challenges. And that has been the case with all the learning experiences at the institute for her. “My biggest learning experience at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow has been being a part of the Media Relations Committee. It taught me to multitask, work in a team and build corporate relationships. I have done that during my internship as well and believe it will be an asset for my future career,” she states strongly.

A narrative on how a Jaipurian is forged from Day 1 at the institute – Prof. Anvay Bhargava reveals the methodology

When management aspirants enroll for a PGDM program at a B School they rarely have corporate experience. It’s the responsibility of the B-school to ensure that their students get an insider’s view of how the business world functions. Only then can they be industry ready professionals, who are appealing prospects to recruiters. That’s something corporates often say about students of Jaipuria Institute of Management.

What’s the secret?

Prof. Anvay Bhargava, Assistant Professor, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Jaipur reveals the story behind the transformation of a Jaipurian.

According to Prof. Bhargava the development of students into professionals begins from Day 1. Jaipuria Institute of Management employs a carefully chalked out two pronged process that leads the new management recruits in the right direction. “The first instrument is Individual Development Program (IDP) where students are made to do their SWOT analysis. They assess their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks. They then figure out their aspirations and we try to locate the visible gaps in the chart,” he says rationally.

The exercise helps the institute have a basic format to work with. It then leverages its corporate network to have inputs from renowned industry professionals. They enlighten the students about the skill sets that are required in the corporate world, which can then be compared to their present set of skills. Jaipuria Institute of Management also focuses on personalized planning for each of its students. Says Prof. Bhargava, “If a student is interested in Income Tax profile at Deloitte, we take the effort to understand what it takes to prepare him or her for that particular role.”

Students’ aspirations and interests are also considered before the all important internships. Prof. Bhargava reveals that students are put through the paces before the internship so that they can give it their best shot. The efforts continue after students are back from their SIPs. “We again start the process with industry experts and connect the students with their industry mentor. Students have to make SIP pitch, which describes their two months’ learning in 3 minutes. It’s recorded and evaluated by industry experts, who offer valuable feedback,” he says.

Another crucial component in the development of students at Jaipuria Institute of Management is the mentorship program. Each faculty member of the institute works with 8 to 10 students to guide them through their academic learning and industry experiences as well. Prof. Bhargava believes it’s an integral part of the Individual Development Program and makes a huge difference to students. “Faculty mentors conduct formal and informal sessions with students every week. It builds their confidence and helps them keep pace with the learning,” he adds.

The industry exposure students of Jaipuria Institute of Management get is not restricted to the summer internships. They can make the most out of several short term and live projects that offer them valuable insights into the functions of the corporate world. “There are various live projects with Big Bazaar, Samsung, IMRB, lifestyle brands etc. We encourage students to go out in the field and gain firsthand experience. We stay in touch with their industry mentors to ensure that they build solid projects,” he concludes. You know that those form the building blocks of future managers.

Jaipuria Lucknow wows new students with a fun-filled and informative orientation.

In July 2012, Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow welcomed 300 new students with a two-week orientation programme. An energising mix of classroom activities and Talash – a collection of post-classroom activities – made the 2012 orientation a perfect beginning to the academic year.
Jaipuria Lucknow had invited several eminent professionals from various sectors of management to interact with the students during the orientation. There were panel discussions and talks that helped students understand industrial trends, employability criteria and discipline in working life. The speakers included Ankit Khandelwal, Ex Chairman, Bank of Baroda; V. K. Srivastava, Principal/Deputy General Manger, Punjab National Bank; Majush Garg, an entrepreneur; P. N. Sharma, Principal/Deputy General Manger, Allahabad Bank, Staff College, Lucknow; Lord Justice Bhanwar Singh; Anshumal Dikshit, Head- HR, IGATE; Akhilesh Sharma, State Head, Hero Moto Corp; and Sanjeev Jha, AVP, Magma Finance Corporation.
The students were thrilled to have their queries regarding working life addressed by these industry stalwarts. “I really appreciated the orientation programme conducted by the institution. It gave me an opportunity to glean a lot of knowledge from various industry leaders,” said Lalit Saxena, a 2012 batch student.
The orientation was, however, not only about industry sync but also included a series of fun and sports activities. These helped the senior and junior students to get acquainted and develop an appreciation for each other’s talents in the area of extra-curricular activities and sports. Rahul Jaiswal, another new student, appreciated the initiative, “Talash as the name suggests, was ‘KHOJ’. The institute has been successful in exploring new talent among freshers in dance, sports and various extra-curricular activities.”
Several events were held under the banner of Talash during the two-week orientation and preparatory programmes, featuring both extra-curricular and co-curricular activities like creative writing, HR games, marketing games, debates, JAM competition, business quiz and finance games. The students felt recognised and appreciated. Ishita Sehgal, a newcomer, says, “I always had inclination towards badminton and anchoring. During Talash, I got the opportunity to showcase my talents.” Fashion Fiesta was a favourite with the students. “I was on cloud nine when I was announced the best female model during Fashion Fiesta!” gushes Divyata Singh. There were prizes for the competitions and Sajal Chaturvedi bagged the first prize in solo singing while Ajay Wadhwa bagged the solo dance prize for his extraordinary and versatile classical dance performance.
Talash was designed to create energy and synergy between old and new students and it seemed to have met both its goals!
“The event helped to bridge the ‘stranger-anxiety’ between freshers and seniors,” said Radhika Chaturvedi, a senior at Jaipuria Lucknow.
The orientation ended on a high note with students raring to learn and begin the course.

Management by intuition is not enough anymore, you need to know your numbers.”

When a professional leaves the security of a government job to shift into academics, he does so only because he is truly dedicated to teaching and learning. Dr. Masood H. Siddiqui quit his job as statistical officer for the UP government after three years of service. He believed he was better suited to the calling of a teacher.
In 2005, Dr. Siddiqui joined Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow. He now has 13 years of teaching experience in Quantitative Analysis, Operations Research, Research Methodology and Data Analysis behind him. Dr. Siddiqui’s approach to the course is completely aligned with business and industry. While teaching at Jaipuria Lucknow, Dr. Siddiqui realised that courses like decision-science are not very popular among the students because they are perceived as complex and mathematical. He decided to evolve a methodology to make the course more acceptable and student-friendly without diluting its content. As he puts it, “The objective has been to develop the conceptual clarity and understanding for objective decision-making without making it complex.”
Dr. Siddiqui also identified that these courses were seen as non-core management courses and not very useful in dealing with real business situations. He says, “These complexities and dogmatism have distanced the students and future managers from these subjects and they are opting out of such courses in almost all management institutes, including the top-ranking ones.” This trend, however, is creating gaps in the globalised world of business. The competition is tough and management by intuition is no longer enough. He thinks “A need is being felt for ‘numbers’ to support intuitions and some enhanced analytical and logical tools to support the decisions being made.”
He points out another change in the environment – knowledge process outsourcing – that makes it necessary for students to build these competencies. The objective of the decision science courses is to understand the environment surrounding the problem, to figure out what the problem really is, analyze the available courses of action and choose the best one available.
Uncertainty in the business scenario makes the task of choosing the appropriate solution difficult. Dr. Siddiqui has turned this problem into a solution for the students.  He shifted the focus from theory, statistical tools and concepts to the quest for answers to the questions that were raised! “We managed to change the very nature of questions arising in the minds of the students and successfully imparted rational answers to those questions. Hence the curiosity in the students’ minds was logically addressed.”
The students have appreciated the innovative teaching method and Dr. Siddiqui is reveling in the success. His only wish is to continue to inspire generations of students with the subjects he loves.

Industrial tour to Tata Motors for Jaipuria Lucknow students.

Students of the regular PGDM, PGDM – Financial Services and PGDM – Retail Management courses of Jaipuria Lucknow visited the Tata Motors Plant at Chinhat, Lucknow, for the 7th consecutive year. As a part of their industrial interface programme, the would-be managers at Jaipuria Lucknow took management tips from professionals at Tata Motors and observed the globally acclaimed corporate manufacturing practices of Tata Motors.
The youngsters from Jaipuria Lucknow were shown all the action in the Chinhat plant, from production plans for the day, stock and raw materials storage and movement and inventory control, to supply chain management. The heads of various departments briefed the students from Jaipuria Lucknow and answered their questions patiently. The future managers were also exposed to the world-renowned Tata Motors methodology of Lean Production i.e. procurement of raw materials in small lots from nearby vendors.
“As an HR student, for me the most interesting part of the visit was talking to HR executives of the Chinhat plant about the challenges of labour allocation at various work stations, issues-resolution in the huge plant, best manufacturing practices and safety measures adopted during the production run,” says Harsha Mishra, a second year student.
During the visit, the Jaipuria students also had the opportunity to interact with the top management of Tata Motors, Lucknow, on the factory floor. The entire initiative, led by Professor Vinod Kumar Chib from the Operations Management department of Jaipuria Lucknow, was quite successful.
Over these seven years of association, the bond between the Chinhat Plant of Tata Motors and Jaipuria Lucknow has become stronger.

Mr. C. V. Singh, Executive Vice President (Operations) often finds time to come to Jaipuria Lucknow and share his experiences in the Lucknow plant as well as his earlier experiences in Tata-Daewoo Motors Limited, Korea.
