\u201cMy name means magician,\u201d explains Souvik Ghosh, \u201cand it\u2019s really been a magical journey for me so far,\u201d he adds. Growing up in Belgharia, north of Kolkata, Ghosh passed out of St. Xavier\u2019s school with scholarship. A graduate degree in BBA followed. \u201cI was then looking for a college that would provide me with a platform that would not just give me a degree but something more valuable than that — an understanding, a purpose, a reason\u2026,\u201d he explains. After long hours of surfing the net, the young man came across an\u00a0advertisement. This was the start of his Jaipuria, Noida journey. And as he says, \u201cI am now part of this rich and vast experience called the Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ghosh slowly moved up the ladder working hard across the semesters with his work-load increasing and one day merging into the next. But as he says, \u201cI realised that I was good at time management. With the support of the faculty, my friends and my peers, worries soon became a thing of the past. Not to mention all the fun activities Jaipuria, Noida has to offer that also contributed.\u201d <\/p>\n
The young man\u2019s Jaipuria experience also included \u201cmany platforms\u201d where he showcased his talents. The first was a campus sports event \u2018Spardha\u2019 where he was approached by the Media Relations Committee to join them because of his skills in videography and editing. He was also part of \u2018Udaan\u2019, where he won first prizes in Face-Painting, and Short Film-Making. \u201cI felt proud since I had won two times in a row and people knew what potential I had in me. I also won first place in the drama competition where we enacted a street play on the subject \u2018Save Our Farmers\u2019.\u201d Ghosh has also helped the institute design a certificate, using his skills in Pictogrpahy and Photoshop, which will be provided to foreign exchange students. <\/p>\n
As far as academics is concerned, Ghosh stresses that the faculty is extremely supportive and is always there if students need a helping hand. \u201cWe have also been assigned mentors who help us in our routine work, whether it be personal or related to academics,\u201d says Ghosh. Two of his favourite faculty members are his mentors, Dr. Swati Agarwal, and Dr. Shalini Shrivastava. \u201cSwati ma\u2019am is an amazing person. On the very first day, we were assigned a \u2018Coffee with Mentor\u2019 session where she gave me excellent advice and helped me overcome my home-sickness. I met Shalini ma\u2019am on the first day of class which was on \u2018Organisational Behaviour\u2019. She was the first faculty member to have interacted with the whole class in such a friendly and interactive fashion. Her unique way of teaching was so enjoyable that everyone seemed to love her sessions.\u201d <\/p>\n
Ghosh, whose inspiration comes from his parents and grandfather, feels that if you want to be a manager, learning to manage time is the most important thing. As he says, \u201cTime management and discipline are the most important qualities that you must inculcate if you want to be successful. Jaipuria, Noida has also taught me that no matter how much you learn and how many people are there to help you, ultimately it is you who has to walk upon the path to your goal.\u201d <\/p>\n
Ghosh\u2019s time at Jaipuria, Noida also included industry exposure, and networking with senior industry experts. \u201cI got to meet Prahlad Kakkar at the international conference ICROSMOS held by Jaipuria, Noida. I was delighted to meet a man of such magnitude and I can say that this was my most life-changing moment at the Institute.\u201d <\/p>\n
Speaking about his internship programme, Ghosh says that his dissertation was on, \u201cThe detailed study of commodities and trading in Indian markets.\u201d Interning with Sharekhan Ltd, one of the most prestigious names associated with trading and investment in the market, has given him an \u201cexposure as to how challenging and vast the global as well as Indian market and economy really is. Being able to understand the market, how things work, being constantly guided by my industrial mentor Deepak Rohilla and Praveen Sir, has added to my rich experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
And his ultimate vision? \u201cI have good communication skills and I have good market knowledge and management skills. When these skills have been polished by Jaipuria, Noida, I hope they will lead to my being placed with a good multinational brand,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
This Sagittarian has a lot of friends on campus. \u201cI can\u2019t fit them into one category,\u201d he says, \u201cso I will just say, \u201cthey are a cocktail of fun\u201d \u2013 Arnish (my room-mate), Sohini, Tridip, Paulomi, Bornita, Deepshikha, Swatilekha, and Rachaiyata \u2013 without them campus life would be rather dull. Two of the brightest personalities I have met so far are my seniors \u2013 Aarohan, and Arko.\u201d Says classmate Aditya Singh, \u201cSouvik is a dear colleague and friend. He has always been busy but has found the time to help those who need his support.\u201d Arnish Mukerjee concurs, \u201cSouvik is a fantastic individual. He has been my room-mate for a year and I wish him the best of luck.\u201d Arko Debsharma and Aarohan Dev (batch of 2014-16) both agree that their friend is the most creative person they have ever encountered. \u201cHe lives up to his Bengali heritage,\u201d says Aarohan Dev.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ghosh\u2019s ultimate dream would be to create an organisation where people can recognise talent in the smallest of spheres. \u201cI would like to help such people, to inculcate new ideas with my creativity, no matter how little impact I have in this world, I want people to understand each others\u2019 potential, so that we can all grow together,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
