Growing up in an entrepreneurial household, I was exposed to business from my childhood. I was always curious about businesses and how they work, after seeing both my mom and dad grow in this field, it transformed the curiosity turned into genuine interest and passion for the field. My experiences beyond academics further strengthened my interest, serving as the captain of the volleyball team and the cultural secretary in the student council, I learnt the importance of teamwork, leadership, communication and coordination. After leading my team in many tournaments and also hosting many events with people form diverse backgrounds, i learnt how coordination and decision making can influence the outcomes of an event. Through these experiences I built strong confidence in taking initiative and working together with different people.
A particularly impactful event was the SIX SIGMA Fest, where me and my team built a real food venture and had over 20000 rupees in revenue and were also shortlisted among the top 10 teams to move on to the second round. This gave me real exposure to many business concepts such as customer preferences, pricing strategy, marketing and coordination, this further strengthened my interest towards businesses and managing them.
I wish to pursue the Five-Year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) as it gives me access to a strong interdisciplinary learning and world class education at such an early age, it allows me to explore diverse fields in the business niche and helps me build a strong foundation which will help me understand businesses in depth while developing valuable soft skills. I am certain that i want to build my career in the field of business but i am not completely sure of the end goal of what I want to make a career out of, I also recognize the importance of exploring different domains before making a choice, Through the IPM program I hope to learn skills useful in the real world with real value and execution.
I believe that the IPM Programme will provide me with valuable knowledge, exposure and opportunities to turn my interest into meaningful action. I hope to become an asset to the society who can create a positive impact and contribute meaningfully to the business world.
