While I now sit at the international terminal of the Mumbai Airport awaiting the boarding announcement for our flight to Brussels, I cannot help but think of it as déjà vu – 25 months back at the same airport heading to France for an MBA at HEC Paris. This is a new chapter though. Having […]
This entry is a bit unusual as compared the last few. After interacting with several people & browsing through various ‘careers’ sections on websites of companies – I had the thought of articulating this post. Before the MBA, during the MBA and after the MBA – we come across a similar set of questions. And […]
About 30 months back, I took the decision to embark on a new learning curve – take a break from the roles I was already enjoying – to equip myself with new skills, expose myself to untested territories and to open opportunities in which I can create a bigger impact by leveraging my old & […]
Recently while working on a self-imposed assignment – testing the application of blue ocean strategy on an actual business situation – I came across a series of recent blog posts by Sami Dob at Ericsson.

“Veni, vidi, vici” (I came, I saw, I conquered) – reportedly written by Julius Caesar in 47 BC as a comment on his short war with Pharnaces II of Pontus in the city of Zela. There was something that reminded me of this when I met Jean-Christophe Prunet, Managing Director, Rohde & Schwarz. I had […]
I realized that I havent written anything in the past 4 months.. thats a long time given that I want to articulate! Well better now than later.. some more to follow then.. In fact, one in just a while.. (I will have to fill in some gaps in between, so posts wouldn’t be chronologically arranged, […]
This is a question I’ve seeked an answer to from multiple sources. To clarify the question itself first, I’m referring to the cash requirement stated by French consulate authorities for the student visa processing to go smoothly.
