Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indore recently created an innovative program – ‘One Day MBA’. The program, an initiative of the admission committee, was developed for the students of Achievers Coaching, Bhopal. The objective was to create management awareness amidst the younger group of students.

The session began with a warm welcome to the participants and an introduction to the Program schedule and the day’s activities. Before involving the students, Dr. Pooja Kushwaha, Chair Admissions, explained the course details and benefits of the PGDM program and the MBA degree. Eager to hear more about Jaipuria Indore, students then watched a video that introduced them to the campus, student amenities, and facilities. In addition, new students learned about the variousevents that take place on campus each year, as well as the many groups and activities that they participate in.

Dr. Harshavardhan Halve, Director, Jaipuria Indore, addressed the gathering and shared his views about the challenges faced by the younger generation today. He expressed concern over the fact that this generation is busy comparing materialistic achievements rather than exploring self. He said, “One should work on self in terms of professional skills, knowledge, and personality and performance level. If an MBA graduate cannot talk about business for 10 minutes, their purpose of life has failed”. He also explained how a residential campus helps in better learning, understanding and employability. He asked students to always remember the 3 Cs: Confidence, Courage and Commitment.

The session continued with Professor Kalyani Parmal, Faculty Finance, and Mr. Gautam Pandey, Manager Admissions. They encouragedstudents and faculty to focus on making learning fun and enjoyable, and they demonstrated one approach to this with their “bucket game.” The game helped the students learn some of the essentials of management, like overcoming hurdles, coordination, good listening skills, leadership and team work.

Professor Charu Dubey, Faculty Business Communication, and Prof Devika Trehan, Faculty Business Communication, conducted the next module. In this exercise, students were divided into 5 teams, with each team developing a list of business ideas. After this they had to draw their business plan on a piece of chart paper in an attention-grabbing fashion. Further, they had to give a 3 minute presentation on the idea, which each team did with great success. The aim of this activity was to encourage innovative thinking among students. The teams were applauded for their innovative ideasby Mr. Abhishek Singh, Placement Manager. He also gave them constructive feedback to improve upon their ideas. Overall, the program, in delivering on its promise to foster interaction and education, was a resounding success for all in attendance.

FACULTY Speaks Jaipuria Indore

Quality management graduates will see a very high demand over a short term in the next few years, says Dr. Harshavardhan Halve, Director Jaipuria Indore

As a young Asst. Professor with Jabalpur Univesity – also known as Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya, Dr. Harshavardhan Halve was asked if he could take on the task of designing absolutely new computer courses – vocational and Post Graduate Program – in the university. This was the mid-nineties and a Diploma in interdisciplinary areas comprising computer and management was rather new to the Indian context. When he accepted the challenge, little did Dr. Halve know that it would be a defining moment of his career. Not only did he go on to introduce these course in Jabalpur University; the PG Diploma in Computer Management became the first programme in Jabalpur where 60% students were placed.

“I started this program with the aim to narrow the gap between demand and supply of talent,” recalls Dr. Harshavardhan Halve, who has just taken over as the Director, Jaipuria Institute of Management Indore. “For an academician, working for professional education it is essential to gauge market needs in terms of skilled manpower and try to develop new courses to cultivate skills in the aspirants. For example in IT industry the need for business analysts is increasing, as the challenges of expanding markets are increasing. That was the reason of developing a course to enhance skills in the area of business analysis.”

Ever since, Dr. Harshavardhan Halve has earned a name for alligning courses and colleges to industry. As a result, whichever institution he has served, has seen a marked improvement in placements; both in quality and quantity.At SPJIMR, Dr. Halve managed the Master’s in IT program with Virgina Tech, while during his 8-and-half year tenure at IMT, Nagpur, there was hardly any aspect of campus administration that he hadn’t combined with his academic responsibilities.

“Theory and practical are two parallel linesthat don’t often seem to meet each other. Therefore you have to practice the art of alligning them to each other. Academics and Administration are a similar combination and one needs to learn skills of both sides by practicing it simultaneously.”

It is probably for this ability that Dr. Harshavardhan Halve has been singled out to steer Jaipuria Indore.

“Jaipuria Indore is the only campus in Indore which has a national presence,” says Dr. Halve, throwing light on his areas of focus as the Head of the youngest Jaipuria campus.“It boasts of being one of the most modern facilities in the zone. None of the nationally known brands have a presencein Indore. For a PGDM campus, 5 major parameters observed globally – infrastructure and living experience, industry interface, intellectual capital, pedagogy and placements. Take a look around and you’ll see that Jaipuria Indore campus is at par with best B-Schools in India. The only requirement is to communicate this to the community. We want to position ourselves as one of the top B-school of central India and we have already started working towards it.”

Dr. Halve comes to Jaipuria Institute of Management Indore, directly from Goa Institute of Management, where he was the Professor – POM/ IT.

“This shift will give me a chance to own full administrative activity and responsibility. It provides me with the challenge to grow with a national B-school.”

Dr. Halve believes that India has come a full circle. While many view the upswing in the market for core Engineers, Dr. Halve feels that it is only to the advantage of focussed Management professionals.

“In early 90’s India started globalization and privatization and began opening its market to the world. This increased the concept of automation and led to a huge demand for Engineers, IT professionals and MCA’s. In the next decade, the challenges shifted towards effective administration; and hence the unprecedented demand for MBA’s. The market did slow down owing to the global phenomena and now that it is picking up again, it is clearly inclined in favour of innovation and innovative services industry grooming, like Whatsapp, Flipkart, Google, etc. This has again created a need for skilled Engineers and IT professionals. It is for this reason that Engineers and IT professional are shifting to their core education.Yet, the need to manage these industries require far more efficient and effective managers.”

Dr. Halve pinpoints that the demand will be balanced in coming years for both Core Engineering and Management. This in turn, indicates that the management spectrum is due to see a bull run in the short term.

Jaipuria Noida launches Information Technology Club (iTops) and creates a platform to help students stay with IT

Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida recently inaugurated an Information Technology Club for the benefit of its students. Called iTops, the club is another initiative from the B School to offer the best amenities to its students and offer them a comprehensive learning environment. Information technology is obviously an integral part of every management professional’s life in today’s corporate environment, in one way or another, and the club will aim to hone these skills amongst students, preparing them for the challenges that lay ahead.

The big launch of the club took place on the 4th of September, 2014 and it turned out to be a much talked about event. “Technology is a word that describes something that doesn’t work yet,” according to Douglas Adams, the famous writer who fuelled the curiosity for technology with his imagination. And the inaugural event had many young minds from Jaipuria, Noida display these two attributes; curiosity and imagination, in abundance, which definitely is a positive sign for the new club.

Proceedings for the day began with the welcome of Chief Guest Mr. Pankaj Madan, National Marketing Manager and Guest of Honour, Mr. Abhinav Shikawat, Chief Marketing Executive; both from HCL Info system Ltd, a leading name in the industry. Things then started on a bright note with the traditional lighting of the lamp by faculty members, Prof. Durgansh Sharma, Prof. Lalit Sharma and Prof. Richa Misra. Like in the fast paced world of Information Technology, things got underway immediately after as the members of the club were thrust right in the middle of action.

The very first activity of the club was to explore and understand The Power of Micro Blogging. A competition held on this highly relevant topic set the ball rolling as the members of the club were divided into groups of five each. They had to present a blog on some of the most talked about topics in the recent times. The subjects ranged from FIFA Fever on Facebook to Women Empowerment in India, digital marketing to Infrastructural development in the country. Completely charged up with the mission, the participants gave the task their best shot.

Judges comprising the chief guest, the guest of honour and faculty coordinators had a tough time on their hands to select the winner. But finally it was the group that wrote the blog on Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS that won the competition. The bloggers on the topic of FIFA Fever were runners up. As the activities ended on a high, Prof. Richa Misra and Prof. Lalit Sharma presented mementos to the guests. Prof. Durgansh Sharma offered the vote of thanks and urged students to make the most out of the club and take it to greater heights.

But that already seems the agenda for the members of the club, who are thrilled to have the opportunity to come out on iTops. Abhinay Mishra, PGDM 2015 said, “I completely appreciate this initiative taken by our institute and am looking forward to all the learning I can get from it.” Another member of the club was of the opinion that, “Information Technology is the way forward for all professionals and the club will equip us with the latest that will help us in our management careers.” That in itself would be purpose served for an exciting and ambitious club like this one.
