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. Senior managers from Tata Motors visit the Jaipuria Lucknow campus to interact with the students and faculty on a regular basis, with the most recent visit being that of Mr. Tribhuvan Kumar, AGM. 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. Mr. Alok Saxena, Plant in-charge, Lucknow, has also inspired students of Jaipuria Lucknow through his visits and conversations.
It is expected that students of Jaipuria Lucknow will continue benefiting from the wisdom of Tata Motors professionals, and be inspired to do well in their corporate careers.

As an alumni and a faculty, I feel a deeper sense of commitment to Jaipuria

Dr. Manisha Seth is not just a faculty member of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow for 8 years now, but also an alumna from the 1995-97 batch. One of the top 5 rank holders of her batch, Dr Seth joined Koshika Telecom Ltd., a telecom service provider, after completing her PGDBM from Jaipuria Lucknow.
“My two years in the corporate world, I realised that I was more inclined towards teaching. After working there for five years, I joined Jaipuria Lucknow in 2004, and since then I have been working here as a faculty.”
Dr. Manisha Seth is currently an Assistant Professor in Human Resources & Organisational Behaviour at Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow. She has attended & contributed research papers in various international & national conferences; published papers in reputed Journals; coordinated conferences, seminars and workshops, and conducted management development programmes.

My sense of freedom and comfort is very high here. I have been honing my research interests; I have been floating new electives as per the identified needs of industry.

“Training women entrepreneurs for Goldman Sachs was a life-changing experience.”

Professor Priti Bakhshi, one of the best-known experts in entrepreneurship training in the country and a core faculty member at Jaipuria Indore, has just concluded a prestigious consulting assignment with Goldman Sachs. Professor Bakhshi was mentoring women entrepreneurs during this assignment, and feels blessed to have made a positive impact on the lives of the women she was mentoring.
“There were six women entrepreneurs in and around Indore under this programme. The issues with each one were different – financial, operations-related issues and vocational issues, and these were not limited only to managerial problems,” says the professor as she talks about the experience. Professor Priti Bakhshi ensured that these women received over-all grooming in order to face the challenges of their chosen careers.
Professor Bakhshi, who has recently submitted her PhD thesis while carrying out her duties at Jaipuria Indore, has over 14 years of academic, consultancy and industrial experience. She is a certified teacher of  “Entrepreneurship” and “Incubation Set Up” by the National Entrepreneurship Network, and is also trained to teach Business Simulation. She has worked with other B- Schools and organizations such as Grasim Industries and the IPS Academy, and her consultancy services have been of benefit to Goyal Consultants and Sayaji Hotels amongst others. IIT Bombay’s E-cell appointed her as a Mentor for ‘Eureka 50 Entrepreneurs’ and for ‘IndiaPreneurs’ by Indira Business School as well. She has numerous internationally acclaimed papers and publications to her name on the areas of micro-finance, women entrepreneur finance, clean development mechanism and Carbon Credit.
Professor Bakhshi, simply by virtue of bringing in these new avenues of management, is of immense value to Jaipuria Indore. Sometimes, the concepts she teaches are so novel that she has to practice immense patience in getting them across to her students at Jaipuria Indore. What helps is that she has an extremely calm way of communicating. Speaking of her methodology, she says, “I believe in creating an atmosphere that fosters the learning experience. Over any other quality, I prefer an environment where there is a two-way communication.”
Beyond classes in Jaipuria Indore, Professor Priti Bakhshi is actively involved with social work, opting to help the poor without making a public show of it. She believes that helping others without third party intervention always brings a smile to her face.
To her, the time spent at Jaipuria Indore has been an excellent learning experience, especially the digital campus. She feels that it keeps everybody on their toes, and with regular updating of the technology, the learning at Jaipuria Indore never stops, irrespective of whether you are faculty or a student.

Placement Update

Experiencing the Placement Process at Jaipuria Institute of Management.

I took admission in the Jaipuria Institute of Management after a rigorous research of good MBA colleges in the Delhi/NCR region. This college was rated among the best in the region. When I got a call for the interview, I responded immediately and was selected for the PGDM (General) course. After the summer internship we were given a choice of streams to opt out for, such as finance, marketing, IT, operations and HR. It was a dual specialisation course so, after consulting with the faculty, I opted for finance and marketing. I was more into finance so I wanted a job in that area as well.
The placement process started earlier than I expected; around the middle of September, Copal Partners confirmed that they would come for recruitment to our college. Then Grail research also confirmed participation in the recruitment process. I applied for both the companies but I did not finally take part in the placement process of these two companies. This was not because I had changed my mind, but due to the fact that when they came, I was already placed in one the best companies anyone can start their career with – Deloitte.
Even though this was the first time I had ever given a job interview, I got placed in Deloitte with the job description being ‘tax consultant I’. This job deals withU.S.taxation and the location offered to us isHyderabad, with a salary package of Rs. 4 Lacs per annum. The placement process was divided into two different sessions, with the first being the aptitude and reasoning tests and the second, the interview rounds. The first session constituted of four different tests:
1. English language
2. Logical reasoning and Data interpretation
3. Accountancy and MS Excel
4.Versant test
The excel round was a simulation of MS Excel, whereas in the Versant test proficiency spoken English was tested. Each of these rounds was an elimination round. Through the whole process, I found the HR person, Achina Sharma, very helpful. All these rounds were held on the 12thof October. There were three rounds of interviews, which were as follows:
1. HR round
2. Technical round
3. Final round
The interviews got over by around 8:30 p.m. and the result was declared at around 9 p.m. Five of us from Jaipuria got selected.
The faculty was of great help in preparing us for the interviews. Prof. Pratibha Wasan was especially helpful, as she prepared a set of questions which might be asked and then helped us refresh the basic concepts of accountancy and finance. The placement cell of our college also prepared us well for the aptitude tests by conducting several aptitude tests and mock GDs/PIs.
The whole experience at Jaipuria Institute of Management was amazing; as there were lots of companies coming in for recruitment, and we were guided through the maze of the placement process every step of the way by the faculty and staff.

Jaipuria Indore will help you discover how you are built, and help you learn how to play to your strengths,” says, Professor Jagdish Bhagwat, Faculty – Operations, Jaipuria Indore

The first thing that impresses you about Prof. Jagdish Bhagwat is that he has an almost philosophical and karmic view about life in Jaipuria Indore.
“Life is a ‘Learn – Earn – Return’ cycle. I believe that every individual in the first phase of his life learns from society. In the next phase, he needs to earn in order to support his family. Finally, at a later stage in his career, an individual should return, or give back, to society. Academics is probably the most noble way of returning to society.”
A Metallurgical Engineer from MNIT, Jaipur, and an MBA from IMS – DAVV, Indore, Professor Jagdish Bhagwat has accumulated 14 years of industrial experience in Indian & foreign steel plants, having worked with Kalyani Carpenter Special Steels Ltd., Pune, Qatar Steel Company Limited, Qatar, ShriIshar Alloy Steels Limited, Indore, and Indore Steel & Iron Mills Limited, Indore. He has also been a part of the management of steel plant projects in Germany and Argentina. His industrial experience covers almost the entire gamut of operations from production management to process control, quality control, product development and customer services departments.
“Prior to Jaipuria Indore, I’ve been with numerous educational institutions over a period of 10 years. There are vast differences between theoretical practices taught in classrooms and actual practices followed in industry. My indian and international experience helps me in educating students about different business practices followed around the world and in managing the cultural differences for global businesses. I try to bring in complicated business situations to my classroom which provides an insight to students about contemporary business practices, and helps students analyse them and develop their solutions.”
Prof. Bhagwat has been a part of the faculty at leading business schools like IBS Ahmedabad, ICFAI University Dehradun, IBS Indore, Pioneer Institute of Professional Studies Indore, and Maharaja Ranjit Singh College Indore. He has been a guest faculty member with Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Indore chapter, PT education Indore, and Institute of Management Studies Indore. To his credit, he has organised numerous national conferences, presented research papers, conducted Management Development Programmes for Airtel – Jaipur, and TATA International Limited – Dewas.  He teaches Operations Management, Quantitative Techniques, Business Research, and Marketing Management at Jaipuria Indore.
“Operations management is an integral part of the manufacturing and service industry. The success of any business depends upon efficiently & effectively managing operations. In today’s complex business situations, management executives are required to take conscious business decisions based on past data. Quantitative techniques will help an executive in taking better decisions after a thorough analysis of all facts and facets.”
Professor Bhagwat advises his students at Jaipuria Indore to listen to their inner voice and carry out a self-assessment.
“Operations has immense potential for students who love working with numbers, while students who are extroverted by nature should focus on the nuances of Marketing. Jaipuria Indore will help you discover how you are built, and you should learn to play to your strengths.”
