Jaipuria Internship

“The Summer Internship Programme at Jaipuria Noida is like a transitional process from Students to Professionals.”

The great reputation enjoyed by Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida and its PGDM courses has attracted students from all over the country. Kirti Maheshwari, who had done her BBA (HR) from YWCA Delhi, joined Jaipuria Noida with high expectations too. “I chose the institute because of the distinguished faculty, comprehensive learning process and the faith it has in students and their abilities,” says Kirti.

Jaipuria Noida has exceeded her expectations on all counts. “Through different responsibilities given to me, I discovered my potential on a daily basis and now I find myself on the threshold of becoming a professional,” says Kirti proudly. “Its practical, industry-oriented teaching and focus on latest infrastructure helps us immensely,” she adds. That’s another reason student’s head to Jaipuria – to boost their career prospects.

In a bid to give its students a real life work experience to enhance leaning, Jaipuria Noida organises Summer Internship programmes and Kirti got a “golden opportunity” to work with the HR department of Investors Clinic Infratech Pvt. Ltd. in Noida. The focus of her internship was ‘Employee Engagement Activities’ and Kirti says that she has learned a lot under the guidance of her industry co-ordinator, Ms. Tabassum Alvi.

From launching an in-house magazine, to writing articles on current affairs featuring motivational stories, to working on an Employee Satisfaction Survey, Kirti got a chance to handle numerous different jobs. But for her, the professional relationships she managed to build within the company remain the highlight. “I could interact with different levels of management in the company and got a better idea of how corporates function,” she says, “and that knowledge will remain invaluable to me.” Besides Ms. Alvi at IC, Kirti also mentions the contributions of her faculty mentor Ms. Shalini Srivastava, who guided her through the internship. She is also filled with gratitude for Ms. Prerna Awasthi, who got her the opportunity with the company in the first place. According to Kirti, the programme was challenging on two counts. “It took me some effort to make the shift from being a student to becoming a professional. I also had to learn to balance my work and personal life.”

For someone who loves to swim, drive and bake, these lessons are of great value for her long-term career. “I’ve also learned the importance of timeliness and getting it right in a superior-subordinate relationship,” says Kirti. With this experience under her belt, Kirti is raring to go. Her aim is to become a successful HR Manager with one of the top five companies in India, in the next five years.

She worked directly under the Global Marketing Head and believes that this made her learning immense.

Alumni Speak Jaipuria Lucknow

Anand Kapoor, listed by Forbes as one of the Top 100 Indian Leaders in the UAE, says the seeds of his success were sown during his days at Jaipuria Lucknow

For many, Golf is just another game. For Anand Narain Kapoor, it is the epitome of precision and skill. On the greens, Anand is not just conscious of his own swing, but is constantly gauging the dynamics of the game as well as the immediate and long-term challenges. Golfing sense, for Anand Kapoor, is synonymous with business sense… a business sense that has catapulted him to the Forbes’ list of Top 100 Indian Leaders in the UAE.

“My birth place is in the heart of Uttar Pradesh – Kanpur – and Jaipuria has had a lasting effect on my life. I have done my schooling from Jaipuria School, Kanpur and after my graduation from Christ Church College in Kanpur, I pursued a post-graduation from Jaipuria Institute of Management, Lucknow. Iwas part of the first batch that graduated from Lucknow in 1995. The college had just been set up, and it was conscious of the factors that constitute good management education and it endeavored to provide the students with a transformational experience. Jaipuria Lucknow gave me the platform to learn the dynamics of the corporate world and empowered me to innovate and establish myself as a successful entrepreneur.”

The 40 year old Indian entrepreneur is currently based out of Dubai. After passing out of Jaipuria Lucknow in 1995, Anand moved to Uganda to work for an East African Bank. After spending time understanding the local business climate, he set up a FOREX bureau in Uganda. In 1999, he purchased a 40 acre site on the banks of Lake Victoria near Entebbe in Uganda and started growing and exporting rose stems. He further consolidated his business by taking over an international school in Uganda. However, the best was yet to come.

His biggest venture to date came with the birth of MiDCOM, the telecommunications arm of the Midland Group. In Africa, he secured the distribution for Nokia in Rwanda and set out to establish a deep distribution network. Alongside growing MiDCOM from 2004, Anand also continued to diversify his business portfolio by foraying into Real Estate. He set up a state-of-the-art commercial complex in Kampala, Uganda, and followed it up with Kololo Greens, some of the most luxurious residential apartments in Uganda. He also initiated a commodity trade division involving sugar, rice, paper and tyres. With a formidable presence in 12 countries, Anand Kapoor’s company is now a prominent player in the Indian, African and Middle Eastern markets. His most recent venture is in the dairy sector, where the group has set up Pearl Dairy Farms. Anand carries his desire to excel over to the golf course as well. He recently lifted the Chairman’s Cup on the 25th anniversary of the Emirates Golf Club in 2013.

“Being a part of the Forbes’ list was certainly on my bucket list; it’s just that I did not expect it to happen so early in life. On the face of it, being listed in Forbes and being awarded amongst the top Indian leaders in the UAE seems like an individual achievement. While it is an incredible feeling and makes me very proud, the fact of the matter is that the credit goes to the entire team whose hard work has enabled my organisation to grow and reach where it is today. In this era of cut-throat competition, focus, competence and passion are the determining factors for success.”

Anand admits that he has been rather bold with some of his business decisions and entered countries where businesses usually fear to operate. But he’s very happy about the fact that he has spent the majority of his professional life making a difference to the African community with his business. He advises the youngsters at Jaipuria that being ‘innovators’ is not enough; a good entrepreneur has to be a ‘dreamer’ and a ‘worker’.

“Don’t be afraid to follow your dreams,” Anand concludes with a knowing smile. “They will take you places.”

Media Relations Club, Jaipuria: An exciting platform

The Media Relations Club at Jaipuria Institute of Management is a student-led initiative that has already become a huge success in its first two years. Set up and followed across all locations -Lucknow, Jaipur, Noida and Indore -the MRC works towards building the Jaipuria brand. Interestingly, it also brings students, alumni, aspirants and corporate houses together onto the same dynamic platform.

In a bid to build brand Jaipuria, students come up with story ideas and feature events on the campus through different mediums, which are then showcased on the website.  Members also manage relationships with different media for campus events and look after the social media properties of Jaipuria.

For Amman Raza, PGDM student at Jaipuria Lucknow, being SPOC (Student Point of Contact) for the MRC was a challenging but satisfying experience. “I always used to look at websites of colleges when I wanted to find out more about them. The student life on campus, in particular, created a perception in my mind,” he says. With the MRC, he got a chance to create similar perceptions and hopes for other aspiring students.

The idea behind the initiative is to give students a chance to be the brand face of Jaipuria. And it does that very well, because MRC members are responsible for the coverage through various mediums. From managing contests for the Facebook page, to creating YouTube videos, their tasks are not only fun-filled but stoke the students’ creativity too.

Moreover, students get a chance to write for the website and get credit for their work. For Nikita Thomas, SPOCat Jaipuria Jaipur,it dovetailed wel lwith her keen interest in writing. “It was a tremendous learning experience working in the MRC with ESquared,” she says, as it made a big difference to her writing skills and overall confidence.

Aman Kumar, MRC member and PGDM student at Jaipuria Indore, recounts his experience as an enriching one, especially since it gave him deep insight into the way media function. Working round the clock and conquering problems are a part of the challenge for him and Taranjit Kaur, faculty coordinator, Jaipur. But Taranjit found “all MRC members hardworking and doing their best within their assigned roles,” which was a huge advantage.

Yes, MRC has clearly defined roles for its members and one can be a campus journalist, photographer, interviewer, video person, social media handler and SPOC/content planner.

Selected members of the MRC get to work under the supervision of the faculty for a year. Dr.Bhavya Raj, who has been teaching in the field of Business Communications, heads the club at Jaipuria Noida. Dr. Raj was particularly thrilled because she got a chance to interact with students outside of class in a “creative and purposeful manner.”

Dr. Raj has big dreams for the MRC; she hopes that big names like NDTV, HT, etc. will increase their coverage of Jaipuria thanks to such an initiative.  After all, the club is also a platform for students to interact with prominent industry leaders. And the way it’s going, Dr. Raj’s goals look like a distinct possibility.

Industry Visit – Report From Ground Zero (Kagzi Industry)

Priyamvada Shanker   I JAIPURIA JAIPUR  I  PGDM 2013-15

In the scorching heat of the plightful summer we were in the bus on our way for the very first industrial visit by our batch. All the chit chat about being professional and the wayward thought were lost the moment we entered the realm of Kagzi Industry. The slight hum of workers, the sound of water mixing cotton balls, the buzz of machines, the vibrant spreads and shreads of papers. Clips hanging above drying sheets of hand crafted papers beyond the reach of our hands enthralled our eyes with the sheer beauty of colours. We experienced the delight of being in presence of workers who answered our doubts and queries. The excellent craftsmanship creativity are worthy of praise. The industry comprises around 300 workers and their diligence and dedication towards work can be truly noted. Established in 1996 Kagzi is an ISO approved industry with a turn over around 5 to 25 crores. It’s a decade old industry with export connection in Australia and Europe, setting on outstanding example of how even a small idea when approached with confidence can make a huge difference.
