A panel discussion on life before, during & after B school featuring top industry professionals, esteemed faculty, education experts, current & aspiring management students.
Is my career moving in the right direction? Should I start preparing for higher studies? Well, GRE sounds great and coherent with engineering, but at the same time CAT will also lead me to the Business School of my choice? May be I should take up a job. I’m confused; I think I should talk to somebody. But, there’s too much information around and I don’t know whom I should be talking to ?
If any of these questions are crushing you to death, please come to have an interaction with Aarohan. Aarohan, a non-profit initiative run by IIT/IIM alumni, will host a panel discussion to create awareness and inquire into various aspects of management education in India. It aims to address questions like - Why MBA? What is the right time to do an MBA? What happens during MBA? and What to expect after MBA? - through discussion, debate and Q&A between current & prospective students, MBA faculty, industry professionals, experts and top B-school alumni representing a broad cross-section of careers ranging from investment banking, strategy consulting, marketing, and media to entrepreneurship. This discussion will help you solve the initial conundrum of career planning, as most of the panel members have an engineering background. We will also discuss about the aspirations and expectations of students and the realities of B-school. The discussion will also touch upon the impact of the global economic recession on careers post MBA to ensure that you make an informed choice before taking the plunge.
Panel Profile:

Request for Financial Support - Help Gaurav
Mr. Gaurav Tandon, an alumnus of Batch of 1999-2001/ Marketing Specialisation at SPJIMR.
He is suffering from Leukemia (Blood Cancer/ AML type).
Gaurav was recently diagnosed with Leukemia (Blood Cancer/ AML type). He is currently admitted at Hinduja Hospital, Bombay; undergoing Round 2 of Chemotherapy. The doctors have advised Bone Marrow Transplant as the only possible solution to his current predicament.While the doctors are working on finding the matching bone marrow donor for the said operation, Gaurav and his family are working on raising the relevant finances.
The latest update on Gaurav’s health is that the sibling bone marrow test results came out last Wednesday. Unfortunately, these don’t match, i.e., Gaurav can’t receive the transplant from either of his two sisters. The only plausible solution now remaining is to find a neutral, un-related allogenic transplant donor. While there are a few, small bone-marrow banks in India , the serious and credible options reside in US, UK and Singapore .
Gaurav’s current doctor at Tata Hospital , Bombay will soon start the process of registering his request for a compatible donor at these overseas banks. The cost of retrieving the overseas bone-marrow and subsequently conducting the operation is c. INR 15-20Mn (c. USD 300,000-400, 000).
Please note that out of a target of Rs 1.5 crore for the operation only 31 lakhs have been collected by 25th Jan, 2009
The target date to collect the full amount is 15-Feb-2009
