Mr. Kaka talked about the very competitive nature of admissions to JBIMS which serves as an excellent filtering mechanism and ensures a very high quality level of students that make it to the institute. Mere interaction between different members of the batch is an opportunity for learning and knowledge sharing.
The batch was introduced to the universal concept of a structured approach towards problem solving. Mr. Kaka emphasized the importance of developing a definite framework for collecting data and facts, and an analysis which involves testing of a hypotheses leading to a crisp recommendation towards a solution.
Having worked at the McKinsey office in London for a year, Mr. Kaka also briefed the batch about the experience of serving on overseas assignments as well. Drawing on his experiences in sectors as diverse as ITES, Oil & Gas, Banking and Aviation he helped the batch gain a holistic perspective of various businesses and functions.
The session entailed invaluable advice for some of the brightest young minds in the country at the very start of their management program. It served as a great source of inspiration to the batch of 2009.
