Interview with Nagodra Kartik Nileshbhai, a student @ SJMSOM, IIT Bombay
1. How and why did you decide to
pursue a management degree?
Coming from a traditional
Gujarati family doing your own ‘bujiness’ as we say it was always on my mind.
However, when I started my own venture with a couple my friends during the
final year of my undergrad, we failed in managing the various management
aspects of our venture. As a result, we had to shut our venture down and that
is when I decided to pursue an MBA to understand the various intricacies of
management.
2. How was your MBA Entrance exam
experience?
I started my MBA entrance
preparation in my final year of the Bachelor’s degree. I used to work in a
group along with 2 of my friends and we ensured that we were able to complete most
part of the syllabus before the mocks began. Although I couldn’t qualify that
year, the preparation helped for the next year as I only gave mocks and need to
prepare the basics from ground up. Giving mock exams regularly and analyzing my
mistakes in them went a long way in getting the desired result.
3. How has your SJMSOM, IIT
Bombay journey been so far?
It has been full of amazing
experiences. In the past 6 months, I have had a chance to interact with people like
Mr. Kaushik Basu and Mr. Siddharth Roy Kapoor. Also with the plethora of
student activities constantly happening in SJMSOM and IIT Bombay, the campus
life has been always abuzz with something or the other. Also because of the
prestige of this school, I also got a chance to go for a study tour at TEM
University, Paris. So yes, it has been one of the most wonderful journey
4. What were your expectations
before joining this college and how different has the experience actually been?
The campus has exceeded my
expectations. It is one of the most tranquil places in Mumbai. We have the Sameer
Hill from which you can see the Powai skyline and then we have the Powai Lake,
which is equally calm and soothing. However, what strikes me the most is the
amount of effort people put in various tasks, whether it is a class assignment
or an inter hostel competition. That itself motivates to strive and work hard.
5. The first semester of MBA is
really hectic. How did you manage your time effectively?
Before joining SJMSOM, I knew
that there is not going to be a free meal any day. Studying in one of the
finest colleges in the country, you need to ensure that you are always on your
toes and grasp as many opportunities as possible. The transition from working
in a firm to college is a bit difficult but I used to prioritize my work every
day in the morning and did not procrastinate which made life that much easier.
6. Can you state a few qualities
or habits that have helped you thrive in your first semester?
I think that if you remain calm
and persevere through the initial days in the B school, then you learn to
manage and get the best out of your time. I used to attend almost all classes
as the instructors are among the best in the country and if you pay enough
attention in class you can focus on other extra-curricular activities during
the other time.
7. What aspects do you like the
most about your college?
In SOM, the student strength in a
batch is only 120 and so rather than being colleagues and classmates it is a
one big family. There is never a sense of internal competition among the batch
mates and everyone will help everyone else. Also the seniors are always there
to help us and would selflessly give up their sleep in order to help the
juniors. This is one of the most amazing
cultures we have at SOM and hopefully will continue in to the future.
8. What were your favorite
subjects/areas of academic interest in the first semester?
I really enjoyed the classes on
Statistics as well as Marketing during my first semester. In statistics, the
cases that we went through helped us in grasping a lot of statistical
techniques and their application in daily life. Also in marketing, there were a
lot of interesting case studies that were discussed in class. Also the course
content is constantly modified to increase its relevance to the current
context. When we discussed marketing strategies and its impact for a product as
ubiquitous as Parle G, it was quite interesting as well as enlightening.
9. Any advice for other MBA
aspirants?
“It's a cruel and random world,
but the chaos is all so beautiful”
This is great do you have a catologue if so I would love one to share with friends and family.
