After completing their PGDM, most students look forward to getting a foothold in the competitive and dynamic field of management. But Ankit Jain of Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida had other ideas and today he has found his niche as a copy writer at the reputed firm of Ogilvy & Mather. About his interesting career choice, Ankit says, \u201cAfter finishing their degrees, student run after jobs thinking about competition, recession, salary, settlement, career, promotions, brand value, self worth, etc. These self-assumed responsibilities sometimes help people run away from their creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Ankit realized the importance of his own creativity as he went about the interview process after completing his PGDM from Jaipuria Noida. \u201cI realized that everyone wants my efforts, hard work and skills, but no one needs me. In that case, I\u2019m easily replaceable if they find someone else for the job. Then the whole process starts again. Then I thought, \u2018Why should I knock at their doors; what if they came to me?\u2019 That is only possible if you have something that the other person doesn\u2019t – and that is your creativity. <\/p>\n
So I chose to explore that option further,\u201d he says. Having written Ad copies as a hobby in the past, Ankit decided to make a career out of it. Making it through to the prestigious O & M wasn\u2019t easy, as he struggled for eight months just to get into their office. But it has been worth the wait for him, as he says, \u201cToday, what I\u2019m doing at work only I can do, which makes me feel special. I like the fact that we don\u2019t have a dress code or strict timings for work, but we have to be productive and keep up with deadlines.\u201d<\/p>\n
As a copy writer, Ankit\u2019s tasks involve writing jingles, ads and scripts, all challenges he thrives on. \u201cWe have to get our ideas approved by our customers and if they don\u2019t, then the process starts all over again. There\u2019s a lot of brain storming and exchange of ideas, which is quite exciting,\u201d he says animatedly. Ankit lives by the belief that creativity doesn\u2019t need any rules because they can be very limiting. Hence, he refuses to be bound by classroom theories and guidelines. \u201cEven the sky is not the limit for us; we have to imagine a world beyond the skies,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Ankit attributes a lot of his independent and free-spirited attitude to his learning at Jaipuria Noida, which believes helped in creating leaders on campus. \u201cThe Jaipuria group needs no introduction, whether in the field of education, business or social service. I had heard many great things about it and when I came here I realised that I hadn\u2019t learned anything from my previous institutes. From classroom learning to responsibilities given during events, Jaipuria Institute of Management strives to create leaders and prepares students for the corporate world,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n
Today, Ankit is making the most of the challenges and opportunities his career offers him, and he loves living in the moment without setting any agendas for tomorrow. He has followed his dreams so far and that has let him soar high in his interesting career. So it seems only natural that he asks aspiring students to build on their creative sides, because that is what can set them apart. \u201cIt\u2019s good to dream and if you chase down your dreams, you can make anything possible,\u201d are his final words. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
