Hi all!
It has been long since I last updated this blog. I passed out from Indian Institute of Management, Indore in the year 2010. From campus only, I got recruited by Bajaj Auto Ltd. Till date, I am working as Area Sales Manager out here.

IIM Bangalore gd/pi experience..
Better late than never......puys here is my gd/pi experience at IIMB..
Date: 02nd april 2008..9am slot..
Venue: Kenilworth,Kolkata..
This was my best call..So,was a bit tensed bout it..Reached there at around 8:15..
I was having few probs in my college..
So,was a bit mentally disturbed......
Anyway,it was a learning experience for me.......
GD:
It was a case study..
8 ppl were present out of 9..
Got a frnd from my coll in that panel itself...
CASE STUDY:
It was bout a retail shop of America which has a lot of popularity in the market..The customers completely trust the products that the retail shop offers..Recently,the company started sourcing Chinese products as the profit of the company increases coz of the outsourcing..Now,another company Costco,which manufacture toys, has been brought to the court by the American customers because they has imported Chinese toys in which an illegal paint has been used..Now,what shd the retail shop do??If it stops sourcing from China suddenly,then it might effect the relationship with China..
DISCUSSION:
It was a very bad discussion..One guy was constantly speaking n not letting others speak..I tried to chip in once or twice but was cut very soon by him..He dominated the 15 mins..That is why the discussion went pathetic..
Now,the worst part is still there..We were given the papers to write down the 2 questions n the summary..Suddenly,one of the panelists pointed at me n asked me if i want to say anythin..Now,it was so DAMN UNEXPECTED that i kept quite..
PI:
I was 3rd in my panel..
So,wasnt a long wait..
PANEL MEMBERS INTRO:
Mr.Prabhu: Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (p1)
Mr.Ojha: Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (p2)
& mePI:
I was called inside the room..
me: Good morning sirs..
p1: Why were u so quiet in the gd??
me: Coz of that aggressive guy..I was cut down so many times by him etc etc..
p1: When u join IIMB,u will have aggressive guys all around..What will u do then??
me: I will learn to tackle it..But,this was my first time..
p2: Now,that we are not that aggressive,can u tell us what u wanted to say??
me: Yes sir.....said.....Then went on to say that the discussion wasnt in the proper direction n all..
p2: Ya,exactly..
p1: Tell me something bout the summer trng that u did..me: Told in details..
p1: Why **** as the most influential character??
me: said..
p2: Few questions on him..
me: Could answer..
p1: What is meant by International businees exposure??
me: said..
p1: Why is it that international business students come to India for internships??
me: All managers shd have an idea bout the business pilcies of all countries..
p1: No,they have strted coming very recently,why??
me: Sir,economic growth rate??
p1: No,somethin else..
me: Donno sir..
p1 & p2: Ok,u may go now..Thank u..
me: Thank u Sirs..
It was a feel good PI..
The way they took the PI,it was obvious that they have decided after the gd only that they wont take me..
Anyway,it lasted for 15 mins..I know that I wont get at IIMB, but I am very happy coz I have learnt a lot from this experience..
IIMB Rocks!!!!!!!!!!

What we want in this obc issue....
1.Reservation or no resrvation for obc's,bring out the results.We are dying for it.
2. The way this reservation is being implemented is not right.The timing is also not right.
3. Also the political interests behind this resrvation thing is cheap.
I think nobody will disagree on these points.Not even the obc candidates.

OBC Quota.....
The result of all the IIM's has been delayed due to the SC verdict that came on 10th april,that is one day before the results were supposed to come.......
Now,the tension is mounting unnecessarily among the IIM aspirants as we have no clue whatsoever as to when the results will finally be out........
Also,there is a dilemma as to whether the number of seats for non-obc students will decrease or not.......
So,confusion is the only thing one can think of,at this moment........
Hope,we come out of this situation pretty soon......

IIM Shillong gd/pi experience...
Hi everybody.........
I typed the whole experience once but lost it.......
But the "pagal guy" that I am, I will type it again...........
I had my gd/pi at IISWBM,Kolkata on 10th april at 2pm....
20 ppl were supposed to be present but only 10 ppl were present......
GD:They divided the whole group into 2 panels.....1-5,6-10.......
But the gd was taken together.......
CASE:It was bout Ashok who is the technical manager of a company....He ordered a forging press which costs around 4 crore..The forging press will increase production of the company n decrease the amount of raw materials needed...In the mean time the comapny went through a lean phase..One fine morning,he saw two notes on his table..One from the supplier of forging press saying that the order is ready n the other from his boss saying that he is not convinced bout the press machine n told Ashok to cancel his order........
What shd he do now??
DISCUSSION:
It was a so-so type discussion.....
A guy n a gal almost started fighting with each other..(Both had lone calls from IIM's....Their desperation was evident)
I feel that I contributed very valuable points..
Chipped in 4-5 times......
My performance: 7/10.....
PI:
I had to wait for almost 2hrs as I was 5th,that is last in my panel.....
Both the panels had 3 panelists......
