The Dream....




MBS is a dream. This school means a lot to me as I have been with it almost since day one! Seeing the campus build... from what it was, to wat it is today... The premises has changed beautifully... I remember the first ad being launched and then getting calls to answer the queries.. It has all come up to a different stage today... We already have 23 confirmations, and about ten- eleven in the pipeline, which should give us a good batch of about 38-40 students. I am personally very happy that the school has got a good response. After meeting up with Dr. Jagdish Sheth and Dr. Bala Balachandran and the other directors, I feel there is no reason why the school shouln't do as well as it is doing. The idea behind the school is very convincing, the recent times showing us how important it is for the corporates to know how to manage Human Capital. The people behind the school are immensely knowledgible, and successful people who are legends in themselves... Be it Dr. Bala, Dr. Sheth, Mr. Mahendran or Dr. Rai... The directors from all the areas are winners in themselves and we have been lucky to have Mr. Bharat Dabholkar, Mr. Santosh Desai, Mr. Ton Van Bilsen and others, to guide the school. Meeting all of them has been a very enriching experience....


The school has got a fairly good press coverage as well.. I am posting a story that featured in The Financial Chronicle along with an interview with Dr. Bala, who along with being the professor at the Kellogg School Of Management, is also an advisor to US President Barack Obama.

The Voyage beckons!


Here I am, today being the 9th of March, exactly 2 months away from a journey that I will remember for lifetime. I still remember the day, when I first walked into MBS to give my interview… I met Nidhi Rawool the program coordinator, who got me well settled for my interview. I was interviewed by two exceptional personalities, Prof. G.S.Vasan, and Prof. Girish – I wouldn’t want to write much about them – anything said about them is too little. Once I had received the offer to Admission, little did I know that I would be meeting the CEO – Dr. Sunil Rai in a couple of days time. He is one person, who all MBA aspirants should meet. I don’t have words to express what I feel about the whole adventure so far.

By then I was already a part of a family, my new family called MBS. Mumbai Business School – which is located in Malad in Mumbai is my new home – my new center for education and learning. I would be joining this school in 2 months time, which is more of a formality – I already feel attached and associated with it. I already have innumerable experiences which I can recollect… I was a part of the video shoot, where I had awesome fun with a couple of my to be batch mates, I also met Mr. Bharat Dabholkar over lunch who is an amazing person by himself… Ever since then I have been interacting with fellow students and the support staff at school – the school very much feels like my home – I feel comforted and composed with every visit to MBS. I cannot wait to start off with the course… I can’t wait to meet more students…. I can’t wait to spend the next one year at MBS J
