A positive & fruitful learning experience
HIS FIIB JOURNEY
A journey from learning to practicing, balancing between the different activities, and getting an opportunity to commence my career in the world of business. FIIB has provided me with sufficient freedom to choose my area of study and guided me well through experiential learning. It helped me in transforming myself from a student to a professional. Many people believe that if you are highly compensated and into a highly aspirational profession you will be happy, content, and prosperous. To me, job success is not defined by hefty paychecks, working with renowned corporations, or titles, but by the amount of effort you put in and the level of happiness you achieve. The FIIB alumni network is quite powerful. The most gratifying aspect of my schooling was networking with the FIIB community. It has been a really pleasant experience serving on the FIIB Alumni Committee for many years. Overall, my time at FIIB has been a positive, fruitful learning experience.
Learnings
Entrepreneurship is something I always want to practice. After joining HDFC, I decided to start my own venture, however, I also want to gather my corporate experience to have an informed start. The early days of my venture were quite stressful as I am the only one who is managing all aspects of my firm be it finance, marketing or operations. At FIIB, we say management can’t be learned but can be practiced, and this helps tremendously in boosting my confidence. This philosophy guides me to connect all the dots I have learnt, and practiced during my college time and while working with corporations.
Future of Cryptocurrency
Since I am from the field of finance, and have experience in the field of Fintech too, blockchain is vital in the domain of technology. Further, cryptocurrency will become as big as the Internet by 2030. There are high chances that physical currency might get wiped up in the coming times. So, investing in learning technology, specifically in Finance should be the key priority for all future professionals.
How FIIB helps to grow your business?
I consider PGDM from FIIB as a stepping stone to the corporate world. It helped me move up the ladder in all aspects. It stabilizes my thought process in a unique manner. At FIIB , I develop my business acumen through projects, CIPs, and presentations. Learning is completely towards preparing you into a professional and helping you in developing the business mindset. FIIB has given a larger vision of my life and I can proudly say that I am doing what I have learned.
Learning from a corporate background
The corporate world is a dystopia, where both logic and ego must be set aside if you wish to survive. If you miss an opportunity then you will put yourself behind your competitors. The biggest learning for me from the corporate world is to be innovative and novel and have a collaborative approach towards life. Taking the right opportunity at the right time is the key to success in the corporate World.
A message for the FIIB Community
I’d like to use this opportunity to request the FIIB family to assist in enhancing the quality of FIIB academic programs by keeping this valuable association robust and consistent. I believe this association will go a long way towards assuring continuous improvements. Our Alma Mater can help the Institute in providing excellent educational services through various modes such as mentoring and expert sessions.
I would like to say that there is no shortcut to success. One should keep a positive outlook and keep a check on their mental well being. It is vital to prioritize things in your life. My mantra is Health first, then Family and then Job. It helps us to grow as an individual.
I’d like to take this time to express my gratitude to my institute, especially to Professor Abhijeet Roy for giving his guidance, support and motivation. I look forward to continuing my commitment in the future as we work together to bring the FIIB family to new heights of success. May we all stay happy and healthy.
