Got my first trimester results after a very long wait. Haven’t done too badly at all with a CGPA of 3.63

Haven’t able to post of late thanks to this contest I have been preparing for. The contest at IIM-I, is to create a viral marketing campaign for Yatra.com, an online travel and ticketing portal in India. Me and my team were busy recording dialogues, animating the small flash sequence etc. It’s kept me really busy of late. I’ve finally finished it and sent off the creatives. Keeping my fingers crossed until the results. Lets hope for the best.

Done with my first trimester examinations , finally….

Among other things, I have started work on the Labs section and hopefully should have that up by next week. Also have been shortlisted for summer internships at CapGemini. I do hope that I get through. Lets see how that goes.

Had the GE IMLP selection process today for summer internships. The selection process started with a group task where we were split into groups. Each group had to analyze a scenario ( standard plane crash, survivors, what items would you take and why scenario). We then had to present our analysis as a group. Our group did decently well in the analysis, though I didn’t think I was that visible in terms of displaying good “group behavior” traits in the whole process.

To my utter surprise though I realized later that I was shortlisted for the interview process. Interview questions were largely work related, and the one tricky question was whether I would still go for the process if “J.P. Morgan” offered me a job / internship. That was something I couldn’t handle very convincingly I guess and therefore even though I went through two rounds of interviews, I didn’t make the final cut.

While I believe I have lost an excellent opportunity to get into the GE-IMLP stream , it just maybe a blessing in disguise. Only time will tell I guess. Anyway, exams start on Monday so I’m all geared up for that.

GE Corporate is coming to campus to pick students for summer internships tomorrow. They will be choosing students for their highly acclaimed Information Management Leadership Program (IMLP). So tomorrow will in all probability be a very hectic day. I do hope I get through into GE IMLP though, it does seem interesting.

To add to that, examinations for the first trimester start at on this Monday, which leaves me with very little to no time to study. So in light of that I probably won’t be posting anything for the next two odd weeks. Once the trimester exams are done though, I hope to have the Labs section up and running as well as get my first rails application called “Loupe” ready for release. So come October, do keep a watch on this space .

Had my first class presentation in college yesterday. It was a group presentation on an interview with Jeffrey Immelt, CEO and Chairman of GE that appeared in the Harvard Business Review. The interview focused on processes that GE was implemented to foster sustainable growth.

We were supposed to read the article, discuss it as a group and prepare a presentation explaining what we learned from it. After a lot of discussion over a week, we decided to correlate what we learnt with what our experiences had been in our various companies. After this we did a SWOT analysis of the model in the Indian context as well proposed a growth model for India on the basis of our learning from GE as well as the Ansoff Matrix.

At the end of the day, the presentation was quite a success and has kind of set the bar for the rest of the class. Let see if in the future we can keep the same momentum going. Kudos to my team members – Nayan, Malay, Sachin, Kinjan and Ankit.
