Having been brought up by family with business background aroused a keen interest in me towards Management at a very young age. I was bitten by Entrepreneurship bug while managing the family run Kirana store business. My long term career objective is to pursue a career as an entrepreneur and to contribute its utilities to mankind. I am now very keen to pursue PGSEM with (Theme 9: Entrepreneurship in New Business Contexts) in a highly advanced learning environment, such as the IIMB. The above course will enable me to analyze and understand the dynamics behind entrepreneurship. The courses structure has convinced me that it will engage me and provide with so many perspectives that probably any other course may not give this kind of a learning. Premier centre for management learning, NSRCEL at IIMB provides opportunities for my entrepreneurial aspirations and would help me translate concepts into profitable business ventures.

“Follow your dream, give it all you have and never say die”. My parents have imbibed this in to me from a very young age. Being from an economically lower middle class family has cultured in me the rigidness to weather a rough Indian life. The true Indian middle class motto of working diligently and sincerely to achieve the best outcome has been thoroughly imbibed in me with will to try new things and take new risks. I bring a diverse life and work experiences like managing a Kirana store which are essentially the backbone of Indian retail industry, It has taught me valuable practical lessons in self organization, entrepreneurship and strategies. I am sure that my above mentioned characteristics will significantly influence my peers in PGSEM Classroom and would certainly draw out the best in them, as it did for me.

What is a major shortcoming you wish to discuss? What have you learned from it? (150 words)

An interesting aspect of life is the array of choices we deal with. Sometimes our decisions are simple, like deciding which movie to see or what to eat at a restaurant. However, I sometimes had difficulty choosing between two equally good ideas. When I was confronted with a difficult choice, it was very difficult to decide which is the best option, and which sometimes resulted in indecision. I came up with a technique, when there is a difficult decision or choice to make. If there are multiple difficult decisions, it is helpful to prioritize the choices in a meaningful context from different perspectives. Narrow down the relevant options from previous step, examine each of the options, think how would it be to execute that solution, and the potential drawbacks of each. Finally believe in your decision, with persistence and best effort, anything could be achieved!
