STUDENT Speaks

“The first stipend of life is always the big deal,” says an excited Ajay, Class of 2015, Jaipuria Institute of Management, currently interning with Marg Compusoft Pvt. Ltd.

Summer Internship Placements (SIPs) are the highlight for management programs because of the real corporate world experience they offer to students. And who better to know that than Ajay Kumar of Jaipuria Institute of Management, who got placed with Marg Compusoft Pvt. Ltd. Interning with a reputable firm in itself is a big deal for Ajay, who grew up in Bokaro Steel City, Jharkhand. He believes that his SIP has opened up a world of new experiences. Ajay is working with the company as a summer trainee on a Reseller and Referral partner development project. “Besides that”, he says, “I am also conducting research to determine customers’ opinions on Marg’s product and services. I am also assisting the seniors in designing and executing various marketing campaigns”. As you can see, Ajay feels that his time with Marg Compusoft Pvt. Ltd. is going to become an absolutely fantastic learning experience.

His regular day at work is not only long but filled with challenges, a prospect Ajay thrives on because it offers him an opportunity to grow. “My day begins at 10 am when I report to the head office of the company”, he elaborates. “Then I meet with 10 prospects for a reseller offer. I also have to assist my seniors develop a marketing campaign. Finally, I prepare and mail the daily working reports to the team leader”.

The going might have its ups and downs but Ajay is proud of what he has managed to achieve so far. And he has every reason to be, considering he bagged the internship placement after a rigorous screening process. He had to go through a round of Group Discussions before a personal interview where he displayed his passion for the profile offered to him. According to Ajay, it was this passion that helped him stand out amongst other aspiring candidates.

Ajay is being guided during his internship program by mentor, Mr. Anurag Singh, whose contribution, according to Ajay, is vital. And now, he is keen on making the most of this opportunity: “SIP is the first opportunity for me to apply my classroom learning in the real world. I want to gain valuable work experience and industrial exposure”.

And, other than the handsome stipend he’s earning, does Ajay have any important take-aways from the internship so far? “Hard work never goes unnoticed. If your employer knows you want to be the best at whatever you do, it will help you make an impression more than any resume,” he says wisely before coming back with the parting shot: “And the stipend money will be spent on getting my first fancy Smartphone.” This young man clearly has what it takes to succeed.

'Rural Day' at Jaipuria Noida helps students establish a connection with farmers, understand the challenges of an agro based economy

16th February, 2015: In an interesting initiative to better understand the rural sector of the Indian economy, Jaipuria Noida’s students got an opportunity to interact with and help a group of framers. The day long event was aptly called ‘Rural Day’ was part of E-week, and it involved multiple activities, including spending time with farmers and an agricultural scientist, debating and drama.

The day started with Jaipuria students traveling to go and spent time with nine farmers from the neighbourhood villages of Mahawar, Kudi Khera (Ghaziabad). A health checkup was also organized for these farmers and it was interesting to note according to Dr. Rajesh Kesri, that they were in much better health in their 70s and 80s than their much younger city counterparts. The day was also graced by one of the most senior agricultural scientists in the country, Dr. V Kumar, who engaged in one-on-one conversations with the farmers.

In his talk, Dr. Kumar shared his experience of working with farmers, the issues and challenges they grapple with and the “policy paralysis” of the Government. He then went on to offer solutions that can change things on individual and community level, through means like dairy farming, horticulture, regular soil testing and making the most out of the services offered by the Government. Students also got the opportunity to interact with the farmers and learn about the ground realities in their own words. This was quite an eye-opening experience for many students, as their interaction with rural communities and farmers has been limited.

Two more activities were planned for the day, and these activities were followed by the debate on the question: “Is rural India the new bottom of the pyramid”. There were participants speaking for and against the motion in what turned out to be quite an engaging discussion. Tushar Walia won the first prize speaking for the motion, and Pranjal Srivastava was also awarded the first prize, while speaking against it. At the end of the debate, it was agreed that companies need to look at the poor as valuable customers. In addition, the key to farming in the future lies in sustainable business models, effective distribution channels and working with the right partners.

The finale of the event was a drama titled “Lighting of Rural India”. It was presented by a talented bunch of students from the institute. In keeping with the theme of the event, the play highlighted the divide between city and rural life, while trying to build a new, sustainable connection between the two. The show was high on energy and made good use of humour to convey important messages and themes. Putting the simplicity and significance of rural India and farmers in the spotlight, the day emphasized rural India’s untapped potential that future managers could help realize.

The dance of dreams – Jaipuria Noida’s Alumni Day amidst Entrepreneurship week!

The biggest asset an institute has is definitely its alumni. Successful alumni become bearers of goodwill and publicity. However, more than that, a student who remains connected with his/her alma mater is an invaluable source of learning and inspiration for current students enrolled at the institute. Jaipuria Institute of Management recognizes the strength that its alumni bring to the institute; so, it is no surprise that each year Alumni Day is organized with tremendous enthusiasm.

On the sixth day of this year’s E-week, Jaipuria Noida hosted its Alumni Day. The event was led by Dr. Ritika Gugnani, and the theme this year was “Alumni Entrepreneurs”. Entrepreneurship has emerged as a key area in the growing Indian economy, and there is no better way to learn about this field than from “our own” entrepreneurs, as Dr. Gugnani referred to them.

Mr. Rohit Sharma, alumnus, Jaipuria, owner of Aditi Arts Exports, Jodhpur, is a visionary entrepreneur in the field of the import/export of metal handicrafts. He advised students about watching costs in a business: “if possible purchase on credit and sell it in advance”. He motivated students to nurture their passion for business, and to chase their dreams, even after a setback. Alumnus Mr. Romil Jain, owner of Romila Pigment Private Limited, New Delhi, loves challenges and that’s how he has built his business. He told the audience that “passion and dreams are very important in an entrepreneur’s life. ‘Nothing is impossible’ – first we should dream big and then achieve big”.

Alumnus Mr. Nitin Kulshetra owns Margdarshan Education & Research. He is an astro-financial analyst, which is a combination of astrology and technical financial analysis. Ever since his teenage years, he had a passion for advising, which he later used to chart a path for success. Mr. Kulshetra has many certifications from NSE and other leading financial institutions and has more than 2000 clients in his company’s kitty. Since he has interests in finance and astrology, he decided to carve out a business that focused on combining the two disparate fields. Talking to students, he said, “Believe in yourselves just like I did, and always work towards your goals.”

Mr. Swapnil Tiwari runs a social-entrepreneurship organization called LIVEMAD. Mr. Tiwari has suffered from dyslexia since childhood, but he believes in the importance of making an impact on people’s lives. His advice to the students was to strive to inspire others and dream big whenever possible:“Greatness can be achieved by anyone, but for that we need to prioritize things in order to clarify our vision and goals.”

The session was a huge success with students, who hung on to the words of their professors, alumnus and honoured guests. Their interaction and eagerness was clear evidence of already burgeoning dreams and the confidence given to them by the event’s many esteemed speakers.

Entrepreneurship E-summit kicks off E-Week 2015 at Jaipuria, Noida on a rousing note

Navikarna, the E-cell of Jaipuria, Noida recently organized an E-Week 2015 themed “Creating Jobs for Millions”. The week long activities kick started on 14th Feb with the E-summit that brought together entrepreneurs to share their experience with students.

In a bid to celebrate entrepreneurship, several activities were also lined up for the day of the summit. Thus in a fun and exciting way, the summit strived to offer crucial entrepreneurship mantras to the students. And one of the important mantras that students learned at the event, was about the overall impact entrepreneurship has on the society.

Some of the big name speakers at the summit were Dr. Dave Valliere, Professor, School of Business Management, Ryerson University, Toronto, Mr. Satvinder Singh, Senior General Manager, National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC), Mr. Manish, Director, Raashika Industries Private Limited and Mr. Tushar Garg, Head, Shankar Gramudyog Sewa Sansthan.

Dr. Swati Agrawal, co-coordinator, E-Week began the proceedings with the opening address that focused on Entrepreneurial Mindset and relevance of Intrapreneurship. Dr. Poonam Sharma, Associate Dean then gave the official welcome address to the esteemed panelists and guests at the summit. In her speech she talked about the importance of young entrepreneurs to our country and society on the whole. She also stressed that they had an opportunity to make the most out of demographic dividend, which was inspiring to students in the gathering.

It was then the turn of the speakers to enthrall the audience with their experiences and anecdotes. Dr. Dave started the discussion by saying, “All businesses start with one person and entrepreneurship is all about seeing the gap before others perceive it. One’s small actions can make a huge difference to the society.”

Mr. Singh talked about the platform offered by the Government in the form of NSIC and shed light on processes of registering new start-ups, acquiring funds, technical support, contacting suppliers, tapping FDI opportunities and more, for the benefit of future entrepreneurs amidst them.

Becoming an entrepreneur often means quitting the security of a cushy, well-paid job. That’s exactly what Mr. Manish did and he shared the experience by saying, “In spite of being a top executive with my company, there was an unsatisfied zeal to make a mark in the society. One entrepreneur has an effect on twenty-five lives indirectly by employing just five people.”

Mr. Tushar’s story of a small handmade paper unit to country’s leading manufacturer further inspired the students to become entrepreneurs and make a difference. Noted faculty members from Jaipuria, Noida Dr. Ritika Gugnani, Prof Moinuddin Ahmed and Dr. V.K. Tomar also made an impact with the audience with their seasoned views.

Amongst the activities held, the highly popular Entrepreneur Quiz, was won by Sahil Duhan and Manish Kumar. Junk-o-preneur focused on the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle while fostering creativity and innovation amongst budding entrepreneurs. Their persuasion skills to sell the items were also put to test in a contest that was won by Pradeep Kumar Sahu and Bijit Ghosh.

Thus the E-summit set the ball rolling for the weeklong event to follow and raise much anticipation.
