And that's what forms the crux of the time students spend at Great Lakes, experiential learning, or to put it simply, learning by experiencing it for yourself. Great Lakes has always been innovative, be it being one of the forerunners in bringing the One year MBA Program format to India or introducing experiential learning in its curriculum. Great Lakes provides its students with access to the best faculty from across the world but there is as much learning beyond the classroom as inside. With a whole set of activities outside the classroom which involves working with an incredible peer group, students get to put into action what they learn in the class and solve some real world problems.
Great Lakes curriculum emphasizes on experiential learning in order to stimulate original thinking and to help the students develop a wide range of thinking strategies and perceptual skills whether it be developing leadership and managerial skills, honing strong analytical skills, understanding and analyzing business cases or dealing with capital markets. The end result is a business ready manager who is ready to deliver results from day 1.
Great Lakes provides the following avenues to its students so as to facilitate innovative thinking:
· Leadership Experiential Project: Karma Yoga
Karma-Yoga is a unique medium for students to connect with ground realities and experientially learn transformational leadership. Students work on improvement projects in 21 villages surrounding the institute's campus that have been adopted by Great Lakes. The project creates a mutual win-win situation for both the students and the villages - while the villages get budding managers to enable the villagers to life themselves into their better selves, the students acquire a first-hand understanding of what it means to create followers and transform them.
Karma-Yoga is a real life practical lab to learn and experience the power of transformational leadership with the key focus on education, health, agriculture and small businesses. As a part of Karma Yoga initiative, the students helped 400 school-going children through tuition classes, science clubs and other educational activities, conducted 30+ village-level events, and got medical attention to 1100+ people across these 21 villages last year.
· Live Trading through Bloomberg terminals
What better way to learn the tricks of live trading than getting to actually participate in capital and commodity markets? Students get to do just that at Great Lakes through 'live' participation in capital and commodity markets. Guided by an erudite researcher, thought leader, avid blogger and a certified trader, Dr. Bobby Srinivasan, small group of students create a corpus and invest nominal sums of money on portfolio of stocks/commodities in the domestic/international markets and track its performance through the duration of the course. Trading concepts learnt in the class are applied and monitored real time to maximize the returns and the students are graded based on the returns made by their team!!
· Empirical Study
Great Lakers believe in learning by doing. Empirical study provides them with a perfect platform to do that by enabling them to do a real life study under the guidance of the best people from the industry and academia. They actually get to analyze and solve real problems faced by corporates and are graded on the output by both the industry and academic mentors. Some of the problems analyzed by students as a part of the empirical study last year were Impact of Pro social behaviour on Employee Engagement, Key Drivers of Effective Delivery in Online Sector, Variety Seeking Behaviour of Indian Women in Fashion Clothing etc.
· Live Industry Projects
Mentored live industry projects are an important part of any student's journey at Great Lakes as it supplements their classroom learning and provides them with a holistic learning experience. The students work closely and are mentored by the company project owner. It is a win-win; the companies benefit as they get high quality resources to work on a project of importance while the students gain learning experience. In the past, students have done live projects for organizations like Amazon, Jabong, TCS, Cognizant, and Infosys to only name a few.
· Experiencing Entrepreneurship - Paisa vasool
Plan. Setup. Run. All in 60 hours. That's Paisa Vasool for you - a two day event conceptualized by the CIECOM (Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship) and an avenue for budding entrepreneurs to test their business acumen and put classroom knowledge to practice by starting and running their own businesses. This year, the students grossed 5.57 lacs from 64 businesses as a part of Paisa vasool, 70% (45) of which broke even and made profits. Prof. Veeravalli, mentor, CIECOM sums it up perfectly when he says, "It is not about making money, but about experiencing entrepreneurship."

1. What were you doing before business school and why did you choose to pursue an MBA from Great Lakes?
Prior to pursuing my MBA from Great Lakes in 2005, I worked with Citigroup in Chennai for four years. I was part of Citibank India's loan operations team which was into booking mortgage loans, SME
There's a saying... "when the student is ready, the teacher appears". I was ready to do a full-time management program but I could not afford to do the 2 year program due to financial and personal commitments. It was at this time that Great Lakes was setup and the College offered a
2. How did the 1 year at Great Lakes transform you?
Ever since I completed my schooling, I knew I wanted to make a career in business and management and so I spent a lot of time reading business newspapers and management books. While I was "information-heavy", I was raw and lacked the tools/platform to convert it to a serious career in business/management.
Pursuing my MBA at Great Lakes was an inflection point for me. The faculty, the courses and my peers helped bring a lot of clarity and focus, helped me overcome my inhibitions and showcase my thoughts. Due to the diversity of the class, I got appreciation and criticism for my thoughts and presentations and these helped me in fine tuning my thought process and look at the bigger picture. I continue to interact with faculty and my awesome batchmates on various issues and use their insights to enlighten myself. Great Lakes has provided me the direction to evolve myself.
3. How did your peer group impact your Great Lakes experience?
Having worked in an Operations setup, I was trained to standardize procedure and processes. My batch mates came from diverse backgrounds and it was initially tough for me to appreciate diversity. I had to unlearn a lot and this had a profound impact on me. It dawned upon me that if I wanted to work in a global setup, I had to learn to be tolerant and manage diversity. When I made presentations to the class on projects and assignments, I have had a fair share of appreciations and criticisms and have sometimes been slaughtered for not meeting the expectations. I improved my standards and put my heart into pursuing excellence. I learned a lot from my batch mates and I would say we all learned together. Today, there is a lot of mutual appreciation among us and that has helped me use them as sounding boards for both professional and personal commitments.
4. Please tell us about your journey post MBA and what you are currently doing.
Post my graduation, I joined a consulting firm owned by a classmate but due to professional differences, I left it after a few months and then joined Cognizant Technology Solutions as a Senior Business Analyst. I however found my true calling when in July 2008, I joined Caspian Impact Investment in Hyderabad. Caspian is an impact investment advisory services company managing and advising social impact funds totaling USD 140 Mn. I was able to utilize my prior experience in Citi to setup world class operations sending reports to the limited partners of the various Caspian Funds including conducting the valuation of the investments we made. I loved my role and in October 2011, I was given additional responsibilities to manage the accounting, audit, taxation functions, regulatory and statutory compliance, managing our relationship with bankers and fund administrators. In September 2014, I was made the Chief Financial Officer of Caspian Impact Investments Private Limited, a fund managed by Caspian in addition to my role as Financial Controller of Caspian group. In addition to existing responsibilities, I work with my other senior colleagues in fund raising also. I have extensive interactions with the Board and its Sub-committees in executing the vision and mission of Caspian.
5. Share some of the experiences at Great Lakes that have stayed with you or had a lasting impact.
My role model and inspiration to get into a career in business and management has been Late Prof C.K. Prahalad. While I have had the privilege to interact with him a little closely before Great Lakes, it was during his talk at Great Lakes about frugal and constrained innovation that I came to appreciate the efforts of Dr. Bala (our Dean) and what he was trying to achieve with Great Lakes. Instead of a big bang approach and splashing the cash, it was about having absolute clarity on mission and vision and using out of box thinking to achieve the same and achieve a robust and efficient return on equity.
Since Caspian is a VC/PE company working in the impact investment space, I have been able to see these tools put into action by our portfolio companies with frugal means and constantly innovating in their attempt to create social impact. Sustained profitability and growth
'I assure you that you will go through hell, but then I also assure you
that it will all be a lot of fun.'
The Discovery of My Being...
It was in April 2009 that we stepped into Great Lakes Institute of Management and one of the first comments that we heard from our seniors was "I assure you that you will go through hell, but then I also assure you that it will all be a lot of fun". Looking back today, I can say for sure that this one comment clearly sums up the journey that we have undertaken in this institution.
May 4, 2009 was our first official day in the campus (though practically speaking the very first assignment we got was 2 hours after we registered our names for the course which included close to a hundred pages of pre-read for the class to take place the next day!). The initial month at the campus was fabulous. It was royalty at its best with wonderful rooms, beaches to play on, volleyball in the evenings, parties and of course a lot of studies and assignments. To be very honest, the first term felt like 'hell' had broken loose and if that was not enough it was followed by terms 2 and 3 which seemed like the end of the world. To add to it we had our cultural festival taking place at the same time and a host of other festivals and events to be organized. It was with those sleepless nights and skipped meals that we could make it through the first five months.
What followed was the International Study Tour to Malaysia and Singapore, and those were the days that the group (and also the students who had gone back home for a vacation) enjoyed, and that too for the only reason that we were away from assignments for a week! Then came the fourth term and the world had changed, things had become much easier, assignments seemed much simpler, pre-reads were managed comfortably, events were conducted swiftly and suddenly we realized that the last 5 months in college had transformed us into individuals who could manage any kind of work load with ease. A lot of this success can be attributed to the fact that we had world class professors from both the industry as well as the renowned institutes all over the world to teach us at our campus. Their inputs and advice make us what we are today.
How could one forget the kind of Industry leaders we met and interacted in that one year? We had VIPs such as Mr. Ratan Tata (Chairman of the Tata Group), Mr. TN Seshan (Former Chief Election Commissioner), Mr. Adi Godrej (Chairman of Godrej Group), Ms. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw (CMD of Biocon), Mr. Jamshyd Godrej (Chairman and MD of Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Co), Mr. Rahul Bajaj (Chairman and MD of Bajaj Auto Ltd.), Mr. Madhur Bajaj (Director of Bajaj Auto Holdings Ltd.), Mr. A Mahendran (MD of Godrej Sara Lee), Mr. Ajit Balakrishnan (CEO of Rediff.com) and so many more business magnates visiting our institute. It is a rarity that people get to meet so many stalwarts within the span of a year, and we are lucky to have that!
Then came January 2010, and it was time for placements, there was euphoria on the first day when offers were pouring in from all quarters. The days that followed saw placement opportunities rolling in round the season. It was soon that we realized that we had started approaching the end of our course.
I have not elaborated on various fun aspects like the trips to Pondicherry, the opening of the new restaurant just next to our campus, the screening of IPL matches etc., though all had their own charm and were cherished to the core.
Finally looking back at that one year, it brings a deep nostalgic feeling. When we left the campus, we felt we were handing over a legacy to the new batch. And when I did, I told them "I assure you that you will go through hell, but then I also assure you that it will all be a lot of fun".

My Journey from Chennai to Bordeaux...
A foreign management degree is definitely a privilege, and if you had done an Indian MBA post a considerable work experience, this foreign management degree is an incentive. MBA from France - the fashion, luxury and business destination of the world is one of the finest among the many options one could think of. Thanks to my one year PGPM at Great Lakes, I had the opportunity to pursue a Level -M2 MBA from Europe. The six weeks experience at University of Bordeaux was truly amazing.
While I was working as a software engineer and decided to pursue MBA, I was in a fix - whether to look within India or go for a foreign MBA. I was skeptical of doing a European or US MBA considering the risk of fluctuating value of the Indian currency. Finally among the various calls I had, the growing brand name and the advantage of one year fast track MBA made me choose Great Lakes over other Indian B-Schools.
I still remember the first day welcome speech by our Dean, Uncle Bala (Dr. Bala V. Balachandran, Founder and Dean, Great Lakes). He promised that Great Lakes will do everything possible in its strength to help us cultivate a global mindset with Indian roots, thus making us international citizens. It did work for us. We were given an option to convert our PGPM degree to a Level -M2 MBA from Europe, as a result of the MoU signed between Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai and University of Bordeaux, France. Shortlisted students were supposed to spend extra six weeks at the University of Bordeaux, and would be awarded an additional MBA degree from Bordeaux, after the course.
Nineteen Great Lakers were selected for the program and we moved to Bordeaux in the first week of May 2015. Bordeaux is a beautiful city in the south west of France. It features in the UNESCO World Heritage List, and is the best rated tourist location of Europe for the year 2015, besides being a famous commercial port especially for wine trade and defense aeronautic industry. We were fortunate to move from one heritage city (Mahabalipuram - close to which Great Lakes is situated) to another heritage city.
As soon as we landed, we were thrilled by the beautiful city, pleasant weather, the river Garonne through its center, the scenic beaches and the historical and archaeological treasures and most importantly its world famous wineries and chateaus. Six weeks went in a jiffy. Accustomed to a diverse peer group even at Great Lakes, adapting to the environment at Bordeaux was not difficult. All of us were intrigued by the diverse peer group, teaching methods, thought process of students from different ethnicities. The experience was nothing short of spectacular.
The whole Bordeaux experience has widened my horizon and thinking - the term 'Global Mindset' has never made more sense. Thanks to Uncle Bala and Great Lakes for giving us this once in a life-time opportunity.

A choice that turned out to be bliss!
It was the year 2009 - I was two and a half years into my first job when I got an admission into Great Lakes, Chennai. I was convinced that a career in IT was not my long term calling and so without any doubts I quit my job to join the one year PGPM at Great Lakes. Having turned down some calls from American B-Schools due to personal constraints, I strongly believed Great Lakes was the closest I would get to a global B-School experience. One robust reason for this belief was the reputation of the faculty at Great Lakes - most of them were seasoned professors from not only US/UK based B-schools but also from some of the finest institutions in India.
When I joined Great Lakes, my mindset was mostly like typical B-School aspirants - wanting a "MBA" and not really knowing where I wanted the program to take me. I simply chose to believe that this program would give me everything I ever wanted - Self-discovery, organizational perspective while helping me figure out my strengths. Little did I know that I would learn and gain things beyond that.
Ours was the first batch to have studied from the ECR campus, (current campus of Great Lakes located on the East Coast Road, near the heritage town of Mahabalipuram) - on a lighter note, we all still have the feeling that the campus belongs more to us than anybody else since we were the first occupants to enjoy the sprawling lush green campus.
Having lived in Tamil Nadu all my life, the first thing I enjoyed about Great Lakes was the diverse peer group. We were 260 in number - all from different backgrounds and cultures. Thanks to the mandatory two year work experience entry criterion, I found myself amidst a diverse and mature peer group. In retrospect, I realize that a B-school experience is as much about your peers as it is about academics; probably even more, since you end up spending most of your time in different work groups.
During the first half of the course, a myriad of subjects were introduced. I chose marketing major and finance minor, but ended up sitting through a lot more of finance courses - even the ones I had not signed up for. This is when I realized the importance of an inspiring teacher. A good teacher can generate interest in subjects you never thought you would be interested in. As someone who enjoys sitting through lectures in topics of interest, I had a great time in classes.
The campus was the perfect setting - sea breeze, lawns, large open spaces, the huge amphitheater, private rooms, fantastic classrooms and more. From late night group studies, online exams, marathon badminton and basketball matches to hurried assignments, long stretches of pre-reading, conferences, guest lecturers from industry experts, the schedule was neck breaking, but fun nevertheless. I have visited the campus umpteen numbers of times since my graduation and each time the campus looks only more beautiful than before.
My biggest takeaways, though, came from my share of mistakes during the course. To narrate one such incident, I was once co-organizing a conference and erred in the co-ordination. I went back to my professor-in-charge (who I look up to as a mentor till date) and apologized. While I anticipated reprimand, he thoughtfully said, "I am happy you make mistakes here. It will help you avoid the same mistakes at your workplace". Moments such as these helped me become the person I am today and it is these experiences that I value the most.
Great Lakes helped me in breaking the whole "Finance is not for women" notion. As someone from IT, I had the option of going back to the same sector, but I chanced upon a placement opportunity in a wealth management company I had not heard of before (not that I knew all the big ones either, having had no financial services experience whatsoever). I honestly entered with doubts, with just the mindset of giving a shot at exploring something new. Today, after six years, I am with the same company - a place that is entrepreneurial, ethical top down and gives freedom to learn and grow - pretty much all I had ever wanted from a company where I would work.
Like they say, for a real traveler, the contentment is the journey in itself - not so much the destination. The one year Great Lakes journey is one of the most memorable periods of my life and I have enjoyed every bit of it. A few months back, during a visit to my alma mater, I met my mentor professor (from my goof-up incident narrated earlier). During my conversation, I mentioned to him that I have to thank Great Lakes for my career. As always, he profoundly said "It's Darwinian, you search for something you really want and it finds you". The Great Lakes experience, I feel, is something I had been searching for and it led me to so many other things, including a satisfying career. Any opportunity is what we make of it. I don't know if I made the best use of my time at Great Lakes, but I clearly could not have asked for more.

Does a 1-Year MBA offer a better ROI?
Attending Business school is one of the most important investments made by professionals in their careers. While making a choice in the programs typically the factors are the quality and reputation of the program, the program outcomes and the costs. Just like any other investment, it is important to look at the return on investment for a business program as well.
Given that aspirants now have access to multiple programs with formats, one can select the most suitable one based on his/her own personal priorities. Those wanting to pursue a full-time program can either opt for the traditional 2-year MBA (between 18 - 24 months) or the 1-year MBA (between 10 - 12 months). In India, most of the schools have been offering the traditional two year format since their inception and the shift to the one year accelerated program started only a decade back with schools like ISB and Great Lakes pioneering and offering the one year accelerated full time MBA as their flagship programs for candidates with more than 2 years of work experience. Now many other schools including the IIMs have also started offering one year full time executive programs for candidates with 5+ years of work experience.
For professionals who already have a few years of experience in the industry, the one year program is a great proposition as it allows them to get back to work faster without losing touch with the industry, having more experienced peer groups and developing the ability for high performance while coping with the higher intensity learning. The program also helps them understand the interactions between the various functional areas of a business system better and to develop cross-functional perspectives in business.
An important and tangible advantage over the two year program is the significantly lower opportunity cost while offering comparable results. Students have to take out only a year and get to return faster back to their careers and start earning. While Return on Investment (RoI) isn't the only way to judge a school, it sure is a key consideration factor for deciding on pursuing an MBA for working professionals, and this is where the 1 year programs stand out on their proposition.
An MBA pays over a lifetime and one should look at the long term returns and not just an increase in salary at the end of the program to do a proper analysis. However for illustration, we can look at a simplified calculation looking at just the immediate salary growth and the costs incurred. Let us take an example of an experienced professional with Rs.4 lakhs of annual income who is seeking to pursue an MBA and has an option of pursuing both the two year and one year programs both costing Rs.16 lakhs in fees and living expenses. Let us say the expected salary at the end of either program is Rs.12 lakhs. In the two years, for the two year program the professional would have invested 16 lakhs in fees as well about 9 lakhs of foregone salary income (considering a salary of 4 lakhs for first year and 5 lakhs for the second year without an MBA degree). Hence the total investment would have been about 25 lakhs. In the case of a one year program, the candidate would have invested 16 lakhs of fees and 4 lakhs of foregone income due to attending the program but on the other hand would have recovered 12 lakhs as salary in the second year. The net balance at the end of two years for the two years program would be minus 25 lakhs while for the one year program it would be only minus 8 lakhs! In addition the student of the one year program would have gained an additional year of experience as well as a potential salary hike. Hence clearly for students with significant experience, the 1 year program offers a better value proposition with significantly lower opportunity cost.
At Great Lakes, the one year program is offered for professionals with min. of 2 years work experience whereas the two year program is offered to fresh graduates for whom the longer duration of the program, summer internship, etc. offers longer time and opportunities for developing their basic managerial competencies while providing the much required exposure to corporate work environment.
Though the RoI calculations do look tempting, candidates must exercise caution before taking a decision as MBA is a once in a lifetime investment and the choices should be made based on the overall suitability of the program in meeting one's career objectives and lifelong returns that an MBA provides.

MY TRANSFORMATIONAL EXPERIENCE AT
B-SCHOOL
When I decided to share some of my thoughts on Great Lakes, I began to think what do I write about? Should I write about the serene campus or the one year that went in a jiffy even before we could realise, or about some of the amazing friends I made here? And then there I was musing over a hot cup of coffee when suddenly a sense of guilt started conquering me. Sometimes we tend to overlook things that are too obvious, don't we? One such integral element of my B-School life I inadvertently was missing out from my list was 'The Gurus'.
Talking about the cause and the effect - If I reminisce my little moments of glory, success, pride and happiness, it would be like rejoicing the "effect". It would be unfair to forget the "cause" behind all those defining moments of my life. Had I not received the able tutelage and mentoring from the faculty at Great Lakes, this whole journey would not have even germinated, let alone be a memorable one. I attribute the "cause" solely to the guidance of the extraordinary faculty of my alma mater.
Friends for Life and beyond: I will rather call them my mentors for life and beyond, for the exemplary stature and honor they possess. At the onset of this beautiful journey, I was not sure of what major I was going to choose and was struggling to stay afloat under the floods of confusion. However, the very first course of Marketing Management not only showed me the specialization but also the path I was going to pursue in my life and introduced me to the world of marketing and gave wings to my creativity, thoughts and writing.
The timely inputs from my mentors while I participated in various competitions, the depth of learning hidden behind their subtle sense of humour enthused to no end. I urge the current students to read between the lines and search for their mentor who will help shape the trajectory of your future, life and beyond.
Time Management: The faculty at Great Lakes can inspire you with the sheer amount of energy they exude. Being my first teachers of time management, I was taught how to respect time first before attempting to manage it. I would say this is where my mentors added tremendous value to my life by simply channelizing my efforts in right direction. Twelve months and my faculty knew how to keep us occupied every moment and helped us realize the worth of every minute spent in the campus.
Knowledge from all corners of the world: Over the course of a year, we had the honor of being taught by some of the best management scholars of the world - from Stanford, Kellogg, Yale and Miami. These were some of the mentors who have left a lasting impression one cannot forget easily.
Fortune favours the Brave: Even today, I do not miss out on an opportunity to go back to my professors for their advice and guidance. Often, we need to make lot of presentations and come up with intriguing ideas at work. And many a time, it has been a personal experience that one big idea which made all the difference to our presentation would be the one suggested by them. What more could one ask for? These are mentors for a life time and it is only a matter of keeping your promise and reaching out to your gurus.
Stretch yourself, Find yourself: Uncle Bala, as we call our beloved Dean, is the epitome of energy and high spirits. He is a living example of how far your dreams could drive you to do things you never knew you were capable of doing. He is a true inspiration to all Great Lakers and has taught us the importance of walking that extra mile. When I say stretch yourself, it still makes me smile to remember that I was reading Swami Vivekananda all through my journey from Goa airport to the Great Lakes campus because I had a viva at 6:15 next morning.
The curtains never go down: The best part of Great Lakes is that the bond with the alma mater or the faculty never ends after you graduate. It is a new beginning and you can be sure of having some of the great minds to guide you to face all the challenges out there. I had the time of my life at Great Lakes and regard this as an opportunity to rediscover myself with the help of my gurus. It's a long way before my destination, but Great Lakes sure is the place where my wheels of transformation began to roll.
