Orientation of Batch 2014-16

IIM Raipur welcomes the new batch of PGP and FPM.

Like us, they received a grand orientation programme of four days with a lot of activity, guest lectures from well-known people in the industry and some exciting outbound programs. Here is what it was like.

Ritualistically, the students were hauled to learn some basics of yoga by Dr. Siddhi Sharma. It prepared them for the busy day ahead.

Day1:

Mr. Kewal Handa, former Managing Director, Pfizer Ltd., and Member BoG, IIM Raipur was the chief guest for the occasion. He was the first imminent personality that the students had the opportunity of interacting with. He told them about important leadership traits like team building and blending in a diverse group.  Next, Mr. Navin Tandon, General Manager, South East Central Railway delivered the Keynote Address. Maintaining a positive work-life balance is important for all round growth of an individual was his advice to the gathering.

Prof. B.S. Sahay, Director, IIM Raipur, addressed the students next.

Mr. Jain concluded his address by advising the students to find ways to contribute positively to their institute.

The day concluded with the grand finale of the outbound programme series, the new students did a “Fire Walk” and walked over a bed of burning coals to illustrate the power of our thinking.

Day 4:

The day started with a session by Prof. Sanjeev Prashar, Chairman Placement, IIM Raipur on ‘Expectations of the corporate from the budding managers.’ This session was followed by another interactive session on ‘Managing Self’ by Prof. Umesh Bamel, IIM Raipur.

The guest for the subsequent session was Mr. Ashank Desai, Founder, Mastek Limited. He congratulated the students of the new batch for becoming a part of IIM fraternity. The highlight of his address was 3 H’s namely - Heart, Head and Hands. Heart symbolizes values, head symbolizes intellect and hands tell about the ability to work. ‘We should take our decisions by effectively using these 3 H’s’, he said.

The next session was based on ‘The Contemporary Management Education’ and it was conducted by Prof. Satyasiba Das, IIM Raipur. Mr. Vimal Chawda, Chairman and MD, VNR Seeds, took a session with the students on ‘Addressing challenges in Business.’ He advised the students to make a thorough study before beginning any new venture. The valedictory address was given by Mr. K.K. Sarda, Chairman and MD, Sarda Energy and Minerals Limited. Mr. K.K. Sarda’s address was centred on quality, commitment and ethics. He said that adverse situations will come, but with our will power we can overcome them and realize our dreams. “Adversity is not a challenge, it’s an opportunity. If your soul controls your mind, your life would be better. Believe in yourself and act on your instincts. ” he said. 

With these inspiring and encouraging words, the students of batch of 2014-16 began their journey at IIM Raipur. Wishing them all the very best!

The Schengen Experience

Being interested in travelling and having travelled the length and breadth of India, Europe was a long cherished dream. I had been researching about Europe and particularly about France since quite some time. Getting shortlisted for the International Student Exchange to Grenoble Ecole de Management, France, for me, was a dream come true. All the micro-planning started soon after. Just when I though it couldn’t get any better, it actually got, when I unexpectedly got shortlisted for the Charpak International Exchange Scholarship, by Embassy of France in India, being one of the 18 students from across the country!(Credit goes to the IR Committee for informing us about it)

In the early hours of 31^st December, we landed at Charles De Gaulle Airport, Paris. After taking the train to city centre and having realized how steep the taxi fares were, we walked for a couple of kilometers with our heavy luggage to reach our hotel. The excitement level was at such a high that even sub-zero temperatures, sleep deprived body and the long walk couldn't drain our energy.

After a little rest, we left for a walk. By this time, our hunger pangs were at a new high, and after much deliberation about eating Vietnamese or Thai or Chinese or Cambodian, we finally settled for McDonalds, the epitome of standardization (and Capitalism!). While we ordered at McD, we had realized and had come to terms with the fact that there was a huge difference in purchasing power of INR and EURO,and ironically, we got the feel of The Economist’s Big Mac Index at a McDonalds! We also were a little surprised that very few people spoke English even in a cosmopolitan city like Paris. ‘Parlez-vous anglais?’(do you speak English?) was to be our anthem for the next four months!

31^st evening, the New Year’s Eve, was long awaited for all of us. After all, it’s not every day that one gets to celebrate a New Year at The Eiffel Tower! The Tower, glowing in all its might, with all the lights, looked more magnificent that it did in the photos and videos. We couldn't help but capture it from every possible angle. Next morning, we visited several tourist attractions such as Notre Dame, Arch De Triomphe, Champs Elysees etc., bowled over by the city’s beauty every time, which towards the end of the exchange program I realized, was the most beautiful city I had ever seen.

The next day, we reached Grenoble, the town where our Exchange School was located and also our base camp for the upcoming trips across Europe. Situated among French Alps, this city boasts of being the host to The Winter Olympics, 1968. With snow capped mountains all around and two rivers flowing through it, the city was indeed beautiful. We checked into out apartments, which didn't happen before we got all the paperwork done, including opening a bank account. France is known to be a very bureaucratic country but we didn't face much difficulty despite the language barrier, probably because we had seen worse!

We received a warm welcome at our new school, Grenoble Ecole de Management and were provided with a tour of the school followed by an orientation program. Classes commenced soon after. I was excited to experience studying in a ‘Western’ School. I noticed a lot of similarities and some differences during my semester at the School. Almost all the professors teaching us were experts in their respective fields. International case studies being taught at our home school (IIM Raipur) ensured that case-study based learning wasn't new to us. A major difference that I observed was that professors here were much more informal with the students compared to that in India. It was probably because of the theory of ‘Power Distance’, which is much higher in Asian cultures, compared to that in western cultures. Among the entire list of subjects, Geopolitics was the one that I liked the most. It was taught by five different professors and all of them presented it in an interesting manner.

Euro Trip for us, started with Geneva, which was 2.5 hours away from Grenoble. This is when we realized that Switzerland was even more beautiful than what we had seen in Yash Chopra movies. This was followed by numerous trips in the next three months that totaled 24,900 Kilometers of Train Travel in 14 countries and 29 cities. To sum it up, we saw the beautiful beaches in French Riviera, the grand canal system in Venice, Art and paintings in Florence, Leaning Tower in Pisa, Colosseum in Rome, Papal Town in Vatican, Dachau Concentration camp in Munich, Berlin Wall in the city by same name, Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart, Hofburg Palace in Vienna, the ‘Rockstar’ bridge in Prague, Canals in Amsterdam, laid back life in Spain, and massive splurge in Monte-Carlo, Monaco, among other places. Sky-diving in Seville, Spain, was another memorable experience. The adrenaline rush of a free fall and the view of the land beneath were exceptional.

During our trips, we stayed in hostels, which are comparatively pocket-friendly and form an essential part of a backpacker’s travelling expedition across Europe. The hostels have a very charged environment, where one ends up interacting with a lot of people and making a lot of friends. There were a few ups and downs during the trips as well, such as searching for hostel at 1 AM in a completely new country, spending the night at train station in sub-zero temperatures, missing trains a lot of times, etc., which only helped in making us more experienced. Overall, this was by far, the best trip I have ever had. I have learnt a lot more through the experience than I would have through books.

With ‘ghar-ka-khana’ craving taste buds, lots of memories to cherish and tons of stories for our Grandkids, we finally returned to our motherland.

Yeah Mumbai, we’ve arrived !!

Aniruddh Mukerji and Ravi Kumar Singh (Posing from left to right) 

Bright lights, fast cars, beautiful people, the city that never sleeps. Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, the home of Bollywood and the city I was destined to do my SIP (Summer Internship Program) in. Being an Operations enthusiast, I was pretty clear about the companies to opt for during the summer placement at IIM Raipur. I got selected in a Business Analytics profile at a leading Marine consulting firm based out of Navi Mumbai.

My hometown being the steel city Jamshedpur (home of Tata Steel), I have been used to a peaceful life of a well planned township since early days - nothing like the chaos of a cosmopolitan that is Mumbai. But this was precisely what I needed. I wanted to experience this chaos – the famous Mumbai local, the busy life in general. So here I was in Mumbai on the 7^th of April, all charged up to start my Summers and to experience the city. Actually, the firm had selected two students from IIM Raipur, one was of course yours truly and the other was my fellow colleague, a former mariner with 3 years of sailing experience in Merchant Navy. While in college, we had a fair amount of interaction but this SIP stay strengthened the bond further. It is amazing how people discover one another’s likes, dislikes, similarities, dissimilarities given the time and situation. One of the few things we share is the passion for travel and good food. Also, having visited Mumbai several times earlier he has a good knowhow of the city which we leveraged to cover as many places as possible, including the most iconic places to eat in Mumbai – Bademiyan, Brittannia & Co. (Iranian and Parsi cuisine), Taste of Kerela, Leopold, Mondegar to name a few. The sites we visited include the usual suspects – Gateway of India, Elephanta, Alibaag, Juhu Chowpati, Marine drive, Band stand, Mahalaksmi, Siddhivinayak, Haji Ali among others. Having a great appetite for both travel and food helped us cover a lot of ground (sometimes on foot) notwithstanding the hot and humid weather of Mumbai.

The office being in Navi Mumbai – Belapur, to be precise – we decided to find a nearby place to stay for the next 2 months. We were lucky to get a flat just 2 blocks away from the office which saved us from the daily local train travel. This meant we could stay awake till late (work or have fun) and get up late than others, which was awesome. On the first day of Internship we were greeted by the CEO himself. He being from an IIT+IIM background himself had a good amount of expectation from us. We discussed about the academic rigour at an IIM, the faculty and how the new IIMs are growing up fast. The CEO asked us, whether we wanted a ‘Pressure Cooker’ project or a ‘9 to 5 Relaxed’ project. Obviously we chose the former one – I don’t think this was even a choice. We learnt a lot from our interactions with him with respect to consulting, commitment and some unique stuff such as - “what is usually unusual for a client should be unusually usual for a consultant” or “If you are different and you say you are different then you are actually not” and “If one is a yes man, then he is a no man”.

One and a half months down the line, I have had my fair share of ups and downs both with respect to office as well as personally, but the overall experience has been a great one. We've had office parties, work related disagreements, chasing deadlines, lots of learning, discovering the city on weekends, eagerly waiting for our stipend to arrive and then seeing it get spent so quickly. All put together has been one hell of an experience, the kind I was looking forward to. Honestly, I am missing college and my friends, but meanwhile trying to pack in as much experience as possible in the remaining 20 days of SIP.

Throbbing with the vitality of dreams and the will to realise them, of reaching for the stars, Mumbai is a city of instant changes, constant changes, a city of opportunities, a city of fortune. It is where tomorrow stands today. I believe if you have the guts and the gall to live in Mumbai, survive it, and enjoy it, you have arrived. This experience has made Mumbai ‘Number 1’ in my list of places I would like to work in after MBA.

International Women's Day : Inspire the change.

8^th March, It is her day. She is the beautiful damsel. She is the pretty, shy, coy girl-next-door. She is the corporate lady with a subdued smile.  She is the one who wears a cloak of exclusivity.  She is the perpetual chatterbox. She is the one who brims with innocence. She is the one with a flawless profile but without an iota of oomph. She is silent but resilient enough to break all stereotypes which restrain females.

You must have recognized her by now. She is your batch mate, your class mate, your team mate or may be your friend. Maybe, you might not have noticed her till now. Reason: She might not like the limelight of admiration or she does not mind being relegated to the sidelines. If you haven’t noticed the aura of her persona, today is the day to do so - the International Women’s Day.

She has stood by her decision to fulfill her ambition. But, believe me, life is not a cakewalk.  Defining ambition and progress may be an easy task but the journey to achieve them is not like a fairytale. Innumerable women just   like her are not able to fulfill their own expectations because they are held back by many institutional impediments: sexism, discrimination and lack of flexibility. More than these reasons the widely prevalent stereotypes in society instill in them a stigma of not being competent enough. Women’s voices are till date not equally heard in taking decisions which affect most of our lives. Although most of the women outsmart men in classrooms, when it comes to boardrooms only 4% of Fortune 500 companies have female CEOs.

Similar concerns were raised in the summit of 60 aspiring women Leaders from top 30 B Schools across India at “HCL Meets Emerging Women Leaders” .It was a platform for interaction with eminent woman leaders from the industry like Ms Indira Parikh, Ms Ester Martinez, Ms Madhavi Issar as well as global leaders like Mr. Naveen Narayanan , Mr. Krishnan Chatterjee, Mr. Abhishek Shankar and other distinguished ideapreneurs. The necessity for Indian women to rediscover, not reinvent, herself was stressed upon. Women need to shun the insecurities and fears and overcome their self-doubt. A belief was instilled in each of the 60 aspiring leaders that the whole world will stand with you, if you believe in yourself.

Presently, there is a wave of change. In spite of lesser number of women in leadership roles, there has been a 25% surge in the number of female billionaires in the Forbes’ annual list of billionaires. 

The International Women’s Day aims to inspire the change. So, the onus lies on you to spot that serene, svelte lady who has dared to dream for the heights of corporate ladder. She may not like your interference but comfort her, help her cut through layers of ambiguity and bias, mentor her insightfully. Talk to her, debate with her, learn from her, teach her even and evolve together.

“You are the hope for a more equal world. The world wants you to change it.”

Disclaimer: I am not a feminist but a believer of egalitarianism.

MUMBAI DABBAWALAS: Committed towards delivering customer satisfaction

Last Saturday, I was very excited to know that a guest lecture by Mumbai Dabbawalas was going to be held. I was eager to learn from their experiences and interesting management practices. I got this great opportunity to attend an invigorating and an entertaining talk from Mr. Subodh Sangle, Coordinator and speaker, Mumbai Dabbawala and Mr. Nitin Sawant, a simple and humble Mumbai Dabbawala.

An audio visual followed by a documentary on the lives of Mumbai Dabbawalas was a perfect start to the enriching session. A wide round of applause followed the entertaining entry of a Mumbai DABBAWALA, Mr. Nitin Sawant on a bicycle carrying dabbas with Mr. Subodh Sangle.

Mumbai Dabbawalas carry 125 years of legacy as they deliver 200,000 tiffin boxes containing freshly made food from customer’s home to their work place every day with complete perfection. They became world renowned as a six sigma organization, and were evaluated by Harvard University, USA. The visits by eminent personalities like Prince Charles and Sir Richard Branson were enough to explain the reliable business model of Mumbai Dabbawalas that most companies would like to emulate.  To get Six Sigma (3.4 defects to a million sample) with no fancy technology, is a remarkable achievement.

99.99% success rate ON TIME, EVERY TIME is simply unbelievable!!
In any supply chain, collection of objects is first and most important step. The 200,000 tiffin boxes offer a huge customer database and magnificent opportunity for advertising and product sampling. However, they are responsible enough not to disturb customers with frequent advertisements because the customer satisfaction is the core priority on their agenda. Customer is not the ‘Raja’; Customer is the ‘Maharaja’ is their simple advice to budding managers like me.

DABBAWALAS are mostly semi-literate people of Warkari sect (devotees of Lord Vitthal) from rural Maharashtra. They are also believed to be descendants of warriors of Shivaji’s Army. Their goal this time is to deliver the right dabbed at the right time. The three hours of commute to the office is the “war time”. They are highly motivated people who believe that work is worship and serving people is like serving God. Their humility is the most important personality trait to be admired. They always give the credit of their work to their families including their wives and children. They never eat before delivering their dabbas to the customers and always eat their lunch in groups with the fellow Dabbawalas irrespective of any situation.

The boxes are colour coded to ensure the code can be understood even by illiterate people and reliable delivery of dabbas can be ensured. Trust, teamwork, and implicit understanding among Mumbai DABBAWALAS reduce cycle time and enhance quality.

The fact that they have been able to deliver these dabbas at such a reasonable price (Rs 400- Rs 800), left us shocked. Another interesting fact which I came to know is that they are the only logistics company which does not consume any fuel. In the words of Mr. Subodh Sangle, the unstated mission statement driving Mumbai DABBAWALAS is “Customer should not remain hungry”. Every question raised during the session was well answered by Mr.Sangle and acknowledged with a DABBAWALA cap. I was fortunate to be graced by him for the same.

The biggest takeaway however was how total commitment can work wonders to achieve any goal, even with limited resources.

Equinox 4.0 - The Experience

Equinox 4.0 - Crave, Create, Conquer

The Oxford Dictionary defines the term Equinox as that time of the year where day and night is of equal length. Indian Institute of Management Raipur named its annual fest as Equinox, when it became the first institute among the new IIM's to start the trend of organizing its own annual fest in early 201. It was an amalgamation of diverse business events and cultural extravaganza, which is the ultimate signature of any successful college fest.  Equinox 4.0 was the fourth edition of the Business-cum-Cultural festival of IIM Raipur, which was held this year from 31^st January to 2^nd February. Every year, this fest draws huge participation from B-schools all over the country, and this year was no exception. The event witnessed unparalleled reach and visibility among the corporate and b-school fraternity.

Any successful event needs a lot of planning and ground work which needs to be done before  the actual event on the D-day. Equinox 4.0 was no exception to this. There was an immense opportunity to learn working with diverse set of teams and people in this event, and I thoroughly relished the challenge of leading and coordinating the activities of various functional teams viz., Sponsorship, Event Marketing, Venue Management etc. being some of the prominent ones among them.

Without the support of sponsors, this event couldn't have been conducted in such a magnificent manner. The initial stage of the event planning was all about finding the appropriate sponsors for the various set of events conducted by the eight different clubs in the institute namely, CEC, CUSP, Finatix, Hridhaan, Kartavya, Mantra, OPEP and Quizzing. We listed down the potential sponsors list obtained from the various industry contacts in the city of Raipur, and allotted designated teams to the various companies to follow up on the progress of individual companies. Some of the major sponsors of the event were NTPC, SAIL, IDBI, Chhattisgarh Tourism etc. Radio Mirchi was signed as the radio partner for covering the event.

The next stage of the pre-event planning was all about marketing the event so that it gets the desired coverage and participation from among the premier institutes across the country and the local colleges. Various channels were employed to achieve this successfully viz., social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter; mailers and follow ups to dedicated PoC's from institutes across the country to spread the word there. Various tools like daily quizzes were employed efficiently in social media by Bharath Raju and Sumit Ranjan's team of PGP 2013-15 batch, as part of the event marketing team, headed by Rajat Katiyar of PGP 2012-14 batch. 

LAN Gaming event picking up heat among many local students from Raipur, Bhilai and other cities of Chhattisgarh

The D-day arrived on the 31^st of January, and Equinox 4.0 started with a big bang. The on-the-spot event, LAN Gaming witnessed huge participation from colleges across the cities of Raipur and Bhilai and was a tremendous success. The business events went along all day in parallel, and participants from premier institutes like the other IIMs, IIFT, XLRI, FMS, MDI and a host of other institutes thronged to win the various flagship and business events held in the campus. 

Footwork- the Dance Competition of IIM Raipur

Salvation Regained from Bhilai giving a guest performance at Armageddon - The War of Bands 

The second day witnessed similar impressive participation in the business events through the day, and as the evening set in, glitz and colour was in the air, as group Dance competition and Armageddon-Battle of Bands were held as part of the cultural events, which witnessed heavy participation from the local colleges and with crowds thronging to support the various teams in action, the campus was completely filled with action. The final day, the 2^nd of February began with heavy crowds thronging the venue for X-Quiz-It, the flagship business quiz which was open to both students and corporates alike. 

Verve - The Fashion Show Competition of IIM Raipur added extra oomph to the Equinox 4.9

As the day wore on with more business events, the final night set in with the eye-catching Verve-Fashion show competition. Various teams graced the occasion with supreme designer outfits on par with the best fashion shows in the country. The event was a mega success, and was definitely the most popular event in Equinox 4.0. 

DJ Night at IIM Raipur

The relief and celebrations of the students was very evident and went late into the night, as the fest culminated with some high-adrenaline dance moves by the students on the dance floor, with the most popular DJ of Raipur DJ Kawal along with DJ Rizwan rocking the show with the DJ night.

I certainly owe my heartfelt thanks to everyone and mainly Vijay Krishnan, Bir Bahadur and Manoj H of PGP 2012-14 batch  who contributed in making this Equinox 4.0 reach never-seen-before heights, and let’s all strive to make Equinox 5.0, much bigger and better.
