The definition of “hectic” has completely transformed for me during my MBA journey as nascent management professional. After only two days of entering my MBA, I observed that the number of phone calls I made to old friends had decreased. Surprisingly, I had so much on my plate, and telling my friends, I was “busy” after 5 minutes of discussion became my “go-to phrase” every day. I don’t think it’s even possible to explain the hectic nature of the first few months of an MBA program to someone who has never experienced such a chaotic existence here on the planet, especially when you go all out and dip your toes into everything you come across.
When speaking with an MBA student, the first thing you’ll hear is how busy they are. Yes, we have a lot on our plates; busy as bees, yes right. However, it isn’t all. Yes, we have group project timetables and do study for extended periods of time together, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t networking or getting to know one another.
That’s why you look to your MBA buddies for help; they’re in the same position as you. You spend most of your time with them. They grow to be your closest friends. For meals, you join them, you learn alongside them, they’re the ones you go to when your hectic day ends to seek that warmth and a home away from you. As a result, picking the right people to surround yourself with is key.
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” – Jim Rohn.
I’ve always liked the concept of having “five friends.” You should be mindful of the “friends” with whom you will spend your MBA journey for a variety of reasons:
In graduate school, your friends educate you more than your professors. After all, you’re in graduate school, so the pressure to figure things out on your own is greater. Faculty members are responsible for assisting, stimulating, motivating, and evaluating students. Graduate students, on the other hand, do more of the legwork when it comes to learning than undergraduates. An MBA program allows you to develop lifelong friendships with classmates, faculty and staff, and even alumni. This form of social capital can be quite useful when you require future insights, recommendations, or help in dealing with opportunities and difficulties.
The most rewarding component of pursuing an MBA is having a big network of friends and the opportunity to learn from them. Now that we’re halfway through term 2, I’ve made some of my fondest memories with friends from all around India. IIM Kashipur has given me the impression that I have created long-lasting friendships, despite the fact that I still have a long way to go.

After a year of toils, opportunities, experiences, and learnings from multiple domains switching, I have finally started on the journey of becoming the person I had always envisioned to be. It was the beginning of a new era, the realization of a dream!
From a naive kid entering the colossal gates of BHU in Kashi to now entering IIM Kashipur as a confident adult with grace and poise, much has transpired in these years, and time is testimony to how much I have evolved in this odyssey.
IIM Kashipur is an IIM with a difference—its lush green campus, course structure, alumni network, and intellectual faculty have now become my oracle and chronicle of most prized moments.
The campus is heavenly. The green hills with a translucent carpet of sunshine, blowing zephyr, floating clouds, and the colossal red brick structures are both feelings of peace for sore eyes and soul. Getting into its coveted Analytics course was an added topping as Statistics became my second nature after conditioning myself to probability and Mathematics in all these years.
The first trimester at college taught me that MBA is more about learning opportunities than ‘learning’ itself! Each task can be done in different ways, and MBA taught me the most efficient ways to do it. The course on decision modeling and ‘optimization’ became the way of my life. I optimized my schedule to carve out time for my hobbies. I realized that this fast-paced on-your-toes life was all I wanted, and it came so naturally to me.
The pedagogy heightened my curiosity, and the dynamic projects challenged my thought process; the vastness and yet simplicity of all the things kept me amazed.
“Today, what seems hard, shall one day be my warm-up regime.” Life does show us tough times. Just =VLookup for patience and keep going happily no matter what (even if it is hard to EXCEL). I am thankful to IIM Kashipur for making me internalize this.
My journey to IIM Kashipur is proof of the adage, “What you seek, is seeking you.” Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the ways we expect. I postponed my MBA due to the pandemic and joined Masters in Statistics, but it was this deep-rooted love for pursuing management studies from an esteemed B-School, which got me here! Neither did I leave the holy city of Kashi, nor did it leave me. Coincidently, I joined the hilly terrain of Kashipur- the coveted IIM in the North. Joining the legacy of IIM along with my sister, who is pursuing IPM in IIM Rohtak, made it even more special! I still don’t know what nomenclature to use for the forces that worked their magic in bringing me to this place…
The college will always give you a choice whether to sit back and savor or whether to hustle or fill the caps with feathers, but no matter what we choose, we will always come out as a winner! As in the end, it is about reinventing yourself again and again. Which I mostly did; I learned the true meaning of passion, and to let go of things, and, most importantly, to know that I am going to emerge out of this journey as a better person.
Covid has taken a few precious months of our stay at the campus. Still, looking at the brighter side, given the grandeur that the institute is, even a virtual experience is thrilling and overwhelming for me. I can’t imagine how joyful and crazy the day is going to be when college resumes in offline mode and I would finally get the email that it’s time to come home!

“Storytelling offers the opportunity to talk with your audience, not at them.” ― Laura Holloway
The vivid portrayal of ideas, beliefs, personal experiences, and life lessons through stories or narratives that provoke powerful human emotions and insights is termed storytelling.
When I think about the most well-known cinematic experience that made storytelling more than just a pastime, I revisit the scenes of “Tamasha.” The protagonist, who was inspired by storytelling from his childhood days and went on to become a renowned storyteller and stage performer, was the plot of the movie. Is story-telling, however, limited to the artists, performers, or an individual from a certain artistic domain? The answer is a conclusive ‘No.’ The world’s most successful people have always been the best storytellers.
Art, poetry, writing, and stage performance are not the only forms of storytelling. In any aspect of life, whether it’s business, sports, politics, or a classroom lecture, storytelling is always useful for conveying our emotions, ideas, solidifying complicated notions, and simplifying complex messages.
What are some real-life examples of how storytelling has led the way to success? Consider how Steve Jobs explained the world when he debuted the Macintosh, and how Apple envisions changing the world after this product, and the result is right in front of us. Apple Inc. is now one of the most successful innovative companies in human history. Whether you’re talking about Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Sheryl Sandberg, MS Dhoni, or Oprah Winfrey, one thing they all have in common is that they’re all fantastic storytellers.
A great storyteller is the essence of a successful marketer, the one who understands the connection between the brand and the users when we talk about a successful marketing strategy. One of the most important aspects of successful branding is how you treat clients as the primary players of the story, with the brand acting as a supporting character in order to establish a long-term relationship. We don’t sell stuff; we sell experiences, as the saying goes.
For example, if you’re launching a campaign to sell the new sports equipment for the athlete community, a great storyteller will emphasize why the equipment is needed and what long-term influence it will have on the athletes’ community and their performance.
National Geographic is one of the best examples of using storytelling to build brand recognition. They perform a fantastic job with their social media branding approach by incorporating storytelling. National Geographic uses bright, exciting, and wild photos to attract the user’s attention, but it is when they combine those stunning sights with the fascinating narratives that a user is compelled to return again and again to relive those human emotions and connections.
Therefore, what does it take to be an effective storyteller, and how can you communicate your stories effectively? It’s very crucial to recognize who your target audience is. Who wants to hear your story? Imagine how you’d be able to make the story more personal for each of them. As a result, before you put ink on the page, make sure you know who will be reading or listening to you. For example, if you’re telling an intriguing story, attempt to build dramatic tension and suspense up to the conclusion of your story. Personalization of experiences has a bigger influence on the audience, and as a speaker, you may always draw inspiration from your own life while creating fresh stories. It is always good to narrate your words using a personal experience, whether or not you are delivering a true story directly based on a personal event.
What is the significance of this entire process? Because you, as a company, a brand, or an individual, are likely to have numerous facts, figures, and messages, the delivery of your message is critical to avoid monotony and bored faces. Engagement with the audience, studying other storytellers, and how you narrow down the spectrum of interpretation by the audience, particularly when relaying your real-life experiences, are all important parts of successful storytelling. Great storytelling necessitates maintaining eye contact with your audience, engaging them, asking them questions, and inviting them to be part of the ongoing conversation. Is it possible that you’re unfolding too much? Is it overly detailed and focused on figures? As a great storyteller, it’s your job to keep your words short and crisp, with fewer details, and to focus on the elements that make your audience want to listen more. Trusting that your audience will be able to follow your story and not overwhelming them with superfluous backstory or digressive plot pieces will keep them wanting more.
Storytelling is an art form, yet it is not limited to artists. It’s just a technique to learn an effective way to communicate with your audience now, whether it’s a group of friends, a gala, an investors summit, or thousands of sports fans waiting to hear you after a heartbreaking loss, your story determines how well you’ll be remembered when they return home.
Next time, when you experience a great story, imagine yourself in the speaker’s shoes and think about how it is a pure form of art, not limited to artists. It’s just a technique where you learn a way of using your imagination to effectively communicate with your audience, whether it’s a group of friends, a gala, an investors summit, or thousands of sports fans waiting to hear you after a heartbreaking loss. Your story determines how well you’ll be remembered when they return home.

Months seem to be flying like days in MBA in the new normal. This statement would not be an exaggeration given the experience we have had during the first term of our MBA. It was expected that MBA is the kind of course which maneuvers one’s life in an unexpected direction, but real-life experiences are something of other kind. They tell us how much the theory relates to reality. Also they shows us how much capable we are to make the best out of that situation.
How it all remained the same
When we started our journey for the new academic session in the new normal after the pandemic changed everything, we were not aware of the fact that MBA remains the same despite of shifting from offline to online. Although mode of taking classes changed from physical classrooms to virtual ones, but the level of learning remained the same. The way of hanging out with batchmates changed from the canteen to google meets but the level of bonding remained the same. Despite placement processes were shifted from campus to homes, the level of preparedness remained the same.
The experience of the new normal
Initially, we had the notion that being online there would be lesser work, lesser interaction and lesser MBA. But reality hit us the very first day we joined the classes and got to know we have signed up for a course that demands full dedication irrespective of its mode. It takes us on a path of improvement which is one of a kind. There are no boundaries of day and night and we do not just study here but traverse a way to rebuild ourselves. We lose track of time yet have deadlines dependent on seconds. All of us walk our individual journeys of self development yet support each other. We are in a course that totally changes us yet makes us meet our real selves.
We were attending classes, making presentations and doing assignments. At the same time, we were also doing live projects. We were working for the college committees, and preparing for our summer placements. The time flew like anything, and we thought of giving up at times. But the satisfaction after getting to learn from each class and the appreciation we felt after giving each presentation, and the sense of achievement after the submission of each assignment did not let us give up. These experiences taught us the subjective knowledge. They gave us a glimpse of how to work well in teams with different people and coordinate. They made us capable enough to drive the discussions in class and at the same time learn from our peers.
The expectations forward in MBA
When we had our term one exams towards the end, we were more prepared than we have been ever for any exam. That is how MBA learning turns out to be. It is everyday learning and applying it in practical situations rather than cramming on the last night of the exam. The process through which we went made us adapt to the new normal and made it easier for us to prepare for exams better than anything. This is how we got to know about the beauty of the course.
The three months felt like a couple of days, and it seems like yesterday when we clicked on the zoom link for our first-ever class of MBA. Moving ahead we feel the need for more learning, more interaction, and more of MBA. We feel we are ready enough to take the lessons, this course has yet to unfold. The measurement of time is going to be different for us than everyone else on the planet.

The feeling of excitement and happiness that we got after seeing the shortlist mail for our dream college is something that cannot be told but can only be felt personally. The emotional outburst after long hours of a hectic schedule, late night mock tests, hours of preparation for the Personal Interview questions as well as the anticipation of waiting for that shortlisting mail for months is something that gives us a different view of achievement. Although we are on cloud nine when we enter the new phase of our lives with the onset of the MBA program, what we tend to overlook is taking care of our Mental Hygiene. Yes, there is a different portion in our life that is as important as physical hygiene, and that is “Mental Hygiene”. This is the practice of taking care of our own mental health as much as we are characterized to take care of our physical health using different measures.
Choosing MBA with a concrete decision for a long-lasting impact on our career and our lives is a big decision that involves a lot of strength and rational decision making. After we dream of all those campus scenarios that can act as memories years later, and step into our new lives, the first week of induction is something that punches our emotions with the rigorous schedule amidst a pool of students that share the same vision and passion for life while pursuing an MBA. Throughout the struggle to adjust to the hectic schedule by delivering the tasks, we find people with different backgrounds and life stories that often intrigues us to know more of them in depth. The onset of the classes results in heavy loads of presentations, markings, endless assignments, time-bound quizzes, mid-term examinations, end-term examinations as well as student body selections. This gives no space for us to even look at mental health and take measures to improve it which has drastically fallen at the beginning of the induction. Be it the day when we cried alone in our rooms looking at the laptop screen at the decision of taking MBA while doing the presentation with odd strangers at the starting of the induction process to feeling demotivated when we are not shortlisted for our favorite company during summer placements, this has tremendously impacted our mental health. As society functions with the thought belief that crying is for the weak and that we should be oiled enough to face rejections and failures in life, we are still hit by the rejections, be it in our favorite student body. We tend to compare our lives and our failures with the success stories of others in the same batch because that has been the social stigma that sticks to generations passing this to each other. From parents comparing your marks to your cousins or friends to the society taunting in case we are unable to clear the entrance exams, this is a permanent tradition that follows a particular hierarchy. This is something that creates friction in our minds when want to improve our mental health.
The feeling of competitiveness, comparison, the feeling of outcasting others in any task or presentation or interview is something that has been fueled in our minds throughout the process. But what we tend to forget is that everyone is different from the struggles and the investment that they have put in while reaching this place. This impacts not only the self-confidence but also it starts a battle of doubting the self-worth which results in a self question, “Do I even deserve to be here?”. The answer to this question should always be YES. This is the point when we should pause for a moment to breathe and take extreme care by following Mental Hygiene. Taking some time off to boost ourselves so that we are able to deliver quality content and not just burn ourselves is something that should be given utmost importance. The eating habits, which just include rushing to the mess and eating as fast as possible because we have pending tasks should be improved, and eating healthy by enjoying our favorite meal instantly lights up our mood. The mental hyperactivities that are instilled by hour-long classes and day-long MBA schedule can be amended by having an organized schedule where we can cheat out some time for ourselves and we can do our activity which is our mood lifter, be it talking to our favorite person or just scrolling through music playlists or dancing our heart out or in fact taking a small nap. This maintains emotional health and helps us in the motivational factor which will act as fuel in the protracted journey of MBA. Indeed taking some time while maintaining the balance of the quality of work that is expected from us and watering the flowers of our mental peace and health to influence Mental Hygiene is something that needs to be preached and practiced.

IIM Kashipur is not just an alma mater but a memorable transition phase in my life. My journey can be described as an enchanting process where an undergraduate introvert walking into IIM Kashipur sans experience of the corporate world and the fear of competition in some corner of the heart. Eventually, I became an enthusiastic extrovert MBA Graduate walking out of the campus full of confidence, zeal, and the ardour of competing with anyone, anywhere. I would consider IIM Kashipur as a platform that teaches cogitative knowledge, discipline, pragmatic solutions for complex problems which helped to prepare culturally sensitive, tolerant, ethically, and socially responsible manager in me and changes the view to look at real-life business problems and associates yourself with the society. The stimulus culture teaches you the concept of “self-development” through case studies, group discussions and peer learning sessions, B-school competitions, POR, group projects, sports, clubs, presentation, fun with friends, constant race against time and comfort prepared me for the real fight-the so-called Corporate Life. Indubitably extracurricular activities including clubs and sports were tranquilizers for me. It imparted team building and never give up attitude in me unknowingly. Discussion and tête-à-tête at mess or canteen with your peers not only increases your network (net worth) instead of gets you to introduce a variety of prospects, people, and stories. I am grateful to develop a network with world-class faculty and learning from them. IIM Kashipur also taught me learning is not just from doing but observation can also be a big friend. The talented seniors acted like the best mentor and guide anyone dreamed of. Every team be it a competition, fest, club was one of the best teams I have worked in ever before. This conversation cannot be finished without talking about the lush green campus life of IIM Kashipur in the womb of nature which makes it the best place to live.

Indeed, I still remember the first sight of the entrance of IIM Kashipur, the glimpses of lush green campus and being lost in the similar-looking hostel blocks on the first day. The thought that I would be an MBA graduate from an IIM was exciting and I was looking forward to it. One month into the program I had realized that this journey is not going to be easy. A lot of lectures, assignments, projects, nights out and networking were involved. Ultimately, the continuous and consistent efforts paid off and helped me achieve the Bronze medal. I am overwhelmed by receiving the medal, but a medal was never the aim. I believe that focusing on the process is more important than expecting the results. I would like to express my gratitude to the professors for helping me in the process. A special thanks to my friends who definitely had a major role to play in the process. Now, I can say with confidence that through various experiences over the past two years I have gained good skills and improved my personality. Finally, one simple piece of advice for the future batches – ‘Focus on what you want in the long term rather than what seems good in the short term’. Wish you all great careers ahead.

While I was posted at a small village in West Bengal, on a fine evening, my husband called me and said- “I want to do MBA from IIM Kashipur and classes are held at Dehradun, will fly down to Dehradun, will enjoy the chilled weather away from city hustle bustle”. I was taken aback and reaction was like- “Are you insane!! you will fly from Mumbai to Dehradun for enjoying chilled weather, you can do your MBA from Mumbai also”. But he has his own logical reasons and somehow he convinced me to join him in this journey to fulfill my dream to have an MBA from IIM. In the process, my transfer took place from rural village to Mumbai, the city of dreams. Then the journey from Mumbai to Dehradun started. The airports became my second home where I took some rest after office, and airplanes became my study room on weekends especially during exam, the backseat of the car became my bedroom while travelling from Delhi to Dehradun, no matter how hostile the weather is. The travelling in shivering chilling weather and sleepless nights became part of our life on weekends. Then, at Dehradun, green blanket at FRI was so soothing to our tired exhaustive sleepless eyes. During the course, we learnt management and was practically implementing management as well, that credit goes to my husband, Nitesh. I believe “where there is Will, there is Way”. It was the determination and focus that made this exhaustive journey thrilling. Every success has its own recipe, the recipe of my success of becoming Gold Medalist is my late father’s blessings, mother’s support, professors’ guidance and above all my husband, who is my strongest motivation, inspiration and his belief on me make this challenging journey complete with a gold medal.

Keeping a balance of Academics, Committee work and fun activities is not just something that helps you learn and grow, but it also keeps your rhythm going. When I joined the Placement Committee, a lot of people asked me whether I’ll be able to find time for my academics or other activities. But one of the most important aspects of MBA is probably Time Management and once you do this well, you can do a lot more than just sail through. Enhancing my classroom learnings with active discussions with professors and peers, supplementing it with corporate competitions to utilize the classroom learnings in real world corporate case studies, and networking with corporates in order to foster institute relations with corporates – this is what I found myself doing for majority of my time at IIM Kashipur. But along with all this, spending time with a bunch of my peers – some of whom have turned into my extended family – was also something that got me through these two years and learning from each one of them made me a better person. While I think each person has to carve their own journey, a suggestion would be to try and explore as much possible – sign up for a subject you think you find challenging but also interesting, take part in as many corporate competitions possible, do your committee work diligently and be a part of at least one to help a little in running the institute. You will always find the support from management and our beloved faculties! All the best!

After numerous interviews (alongside rejections), I was quite relieved to be selected at IIM Kashipur. It was a shock when the first words I heard from the professor was, ‘ Your journey and hard work has just started’ and it is indeed true. Induction and trimester 1 are very important to acclimatize oneself with the rigors of an MBA program. The beauty of MBA at IIM Kashipur is that there is not one way to be successful, people can target particular skill sets or competencies through academics or through various PORs of clubs/committees. I have seen friends get upset at not being selected at any clubs/committees initially, but without these extra responsibilities it gives one time to work more on Academics or relax a hectic day with leisure like sports, music, etc. (which IIM Kashipur has excellent facilities). The only important thing here is to identify why one was not selected in the first place , what improvements need to be done to overcome that drawback and hone skill sets accordingly.
Peer learning is one of the best ways to learn at an MBA. I was very lucky to have close friends with complementary skill sets and knowledge and thus enhanced my knowledge manifold. Whatever I achieved at IIM Kashipur a lot of credit goes to my friends for supporting me in dire situations. Building a good network and close friends made life at IIM Kashipur the most enjoyable two years of my life.
I strongly believe that getting too much pressurized by the rigors of MBA does one no good. It is important to enjoy your MBA life and relax yourself from time to time to re-energize yourself. Sometimes coping with all the academic pressure may not a one day process. One can try to cope with the pressure with time, set small targets (for example, if you cannot follow all the courses in a trimester properly at once, initially target two to three courses that you are interested in and faithfully follow everything related to course like case studies, assignments, etc.)
Managing time to accommodate academics, other roles and responsibilities and most importantly time for your leisure is essential. Setting realistic weekly goals and daily sub-goals and adjusting the next day to complete any unfinished task ensures one does not get too much work to complete in one day. Proper planning every day (if possible, planning for every four-five hours) and avoiding procrastination is a good habit to enjoy your MBA life. I will end with a famous Bo Bennett quote – ‘ When it comes to success, there are no shortcuts’.
