After graduating as an electrical engineer, I joined GITAM School of International Business to pursue MBA in International Business. This program has helped me to sense the fast changing business requirements throughout the globe and developing resilient businesses to adept to these changes. This insight developed an interest in me to develop skills pertaining to analytic’s and business process optimization. The course also conveyed the shift in business paradigm that factors

of production no more create sustainable competitive advantage and businesses today have become more customer centric. The only way for businesses to define their distinctive competitive abilities is to understand customers better. With human-technology interactions increasing profoundly, huge amounts of data are being captured and analyzed everyday which gives firsthand information about the key touch points of the customers. This is the avenue where analytics play a predominant role.

It was great experience being at GSIB these two years, I have learnt many things and now when I look back I experience the change in me. I improved in terms of public speaking, anchoring, organizing and many more. I can also now recall that during my first presentation I was shivering with stage fear. I have learnt very good problem handling skills, stress management and how to meet deadlines. My internship was like a turning point which gave me a very good exposure and learning experience it always added towards my learning and helped me to learn and become better with every step. Main thing in GSIB is about placement, and in my first chance I got placed in NTT Data and I am very much satisfied with my Job and my parents also thank GSIB. The placement in GSIB was very good and almost all students got placed in good companies such as NTT Data, MAERSK, ITC, AXIS Bank and many such. I would thank all the faculties and non teaching staff for making me to reach this level

I feel the best part of a student exchange is the opportunity to meet so many students from different countries and in that way the thinking horizon increases tremendously. I would say student exchange (they call it Erasmus here) is something one must experience will be very helpful for personal growth and coming out of the comfort and living in a foreign country to manage everything by your own with a smiling face is something one gets to learn and practice.
