Investment Planning session held by Jaipuria Indore informs and inspires students

Students of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore recently went through a crucial session that proved to be an important learning experience – not just for their management ambitions, but for their lives, as well. After all, it was a session on Investment Planning and what an individual needs to know in order to make the right investment decisions. The institute prepares students to be successful professionals and leaders in their chosen field. This is not only about achieving their goals – it is also about earning potential and financial stability. Overall, this session delivered the important lesson that you can grow your money with discipline and right planning.

The biggest highlight of the session was the fact that it was conducted by Dr. Deepali Dixit, Assistant Director, Securities and Exchange Board of India. She is one of the leading names in the field and was a huge draw amongst the audience, which was comprised of students looking forward to the talk, as it offered a wealth of information that can have an impact on their future. Dr. Dixit was joined by Mr. Ankur Bhandari, and he started the session by giving a brief overview of investments and their huge significance for people’s financial goals.

It was probably just the right time for students in the audience to learn about investments so that they take the right measures as they begin professional careers. The eminent speakers then discussed different investment avenues available to young professionals, outlining the benefits of each. They talked about the pros and cons of different avenues and the factors that young professionals need to consider before putting their money into certain investments.

The Stock Market is often considered to be one of the most exciting and dynamic avenues for investments. However, it’s filled with its own set of risks, which detracts investors. But, Mr. Bhandari offered students insight into the market and asserted that investing in stocks was all about getting the basics right. He also did his best to make students aware of the benefits of investing in shares. Sharing a few experiences of his own and a video to make his point, he then emphasized on the importance of small investment planning, which can benefit young professionals in the long run.

The stage was thus set for Dr. Dixit to make students aware of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and the role it plays in the Indian economy. She talked about the various responsibilities of SEBI and acquainted students with the functioning of the organization. Overall, it was an interactive session where students learned not only about the benefits of investing in the stock market, but the risks involved too. The session drove home the point that one should invest for long term gains rather than looking at short term results. As they learned about opportunities in the field, student went back home more knowledgeable and excited about the future.

Industry visit to HPCL plant proves to be a valuable learning experience for students of Jaipuria, Indore

During the Oil & Gas Conservation Fortnight, held between 16 and 31st Jan by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) Indore (LPG bottling) plant, students of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore had an opportunity to visit the HPCL plant. The purpose was obvious- students were to be educated on how huge plants function. This perfectly timed visit accomplished just that.

The purpose of the fortnight long celebration is to spread awareness about the conservation of Oil and Gas. Mr. Ravi Bhushan Bhattacharya, Senior Plant Manager, took things further by discussing alternative practices employed by HPCL and its diversified activities to deal with limited resources. He then focussed on LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) properties, usage, and how we can conserve Oil and Gas so that our future generations don’t suffer.

Mr. Anand then took the students around the plant, which is semi-automatic, equipped with flame proof machineries and other fire safety mechanisms. The company spends a total of 55% of total revenue on safety measures, as inflammable materials are involved at every step of the process. During the tour, all aspects of the plant’s activities were explained by Mr. Bhattacharya – from plant safety to the wide range of operations and processes. Finally, he talked about the PAHAL Scheme introduced by the Government, which is being implemented in metro regions. He went through its list of benefits, and how this new initiative affects the lives of locals and energy production of the future.

Students were not only excited to see LPG cylinders being filled at the designated station, but they were also eager to hear that there are several exciting opportunities for them in the field of energy management. As his parting shot, Mr. Bhattacharya asked students, “To realize the practical learning from this industry visit and make the most out of it. I myself have felt invigorated in the company of students so willing to learn.” This surely was a learning experience – students returned from the plant with an insight into its functioning and operations.

"MBA teaches you the value of out-of-the-box thinking and how to go about it" says Vedant Vashishta recent alumnus, currently working with Carlsberg Pvt. Ltd

“It is easy to sit in an air-conditioned classroom and receive lectures on marketing, finance, and various other subjects; however, it’s very difficult to actually go out in the field and perform.” These are the words of Vedant Vashistha, a PGDM course batch 2012-14 alumnus from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida. He was placed with Carlsberg Pvt. Ltd. India as a Key accounts executive during campus recruitment.

Talking about the challenges of his job, he explains that there are extremely stringent Government regulations in the marketing industry.

“MBA polishes your personality”, Vedant says, discussing the importance of management education in the current business environment. He advises MBA aspirants to ‘learn by doing: “learn practical things and do your projects well. Also, try to think out of the box.
