His Journey at FIIB
I can recall that email from FIIB-Admission Cell dated 29th July 2011, stating the commencement of the prestigious 17th Batch of the flagship program, The FIIB PGDM. It was one of its kind experiences after reading the email and getting prepared for the PGDM. I was prepared from my initial days that those two years of my life would be a game changer because this was the only chance to prepare myself before I finally enter the real corporate world. FIIB provided the first step to the golden ladder for attaining highest potential of my skills-set. FIIB is a remarkable and essential part of my journey and taught me many things. FIIB education developed a confidence in me to face the new challenges and struggles of real life. Apart from focusing on the studies, participating in other extra-curricular activities and socializing during the student exchange program really worked well to nourish my overall personality. I am very grateful to FIIB for providing such a platform to me.

Every day at my job, I try to contribute something new to the organization and the support of my organization to try new things is what makes me stay at my present role.
Message for FIIB Community
“Opportunities don’t happen, you create them.” — Chris Grosser
Based on the above quote, my only message for the FIIB community would be that we have to create our own opportunities. Until we are not willing to take our own charge nobody else will. Hence, we should not look out for opportunities that are already there, rather we shall create our own opportunities. It’s just the notion that we realize late.
