Before I joined Welingkar, I already had 3.5 years of corporate experience and hence, for me, studying here was an opportunity to prepare myself to be a better manager. In these two years, I've been lucky to get an opportunity to work with some of the best brains in the system - Prof. Pradeep Pendse, Prof. Deepa Dixit and Prof. Kaustubh Dhargalkar. Each of them have their own unique styles and are immensely talented in their own right and working with them helped me imbibe some of their qualities. I also did get my share of wisdom by associating with our dynamic Director- Prof Dr. Uday Salunkhe, who, despite being super busy, was always available for guidance and a word of encouragement!

Choosing the right MBA Program & the right college is a very important factor for it decides the growth of any student’s career. For me personally, the Business Design course of WeSchool played a very important role in shaping up my career. The out-of-the-box thinking, the faculty members and the cross-disciplinary approach of mixing Design & Management together is what has helped me grow as a successful Women Entrepreneur.

The experience of interacting with leaders and visionaries like Kishore Biyani helped me to not just dream but to achieve. I grew in Zee and had edge over many of my counter parts (campus placement, moved on only 4 yrs back as A group head brand) and today run my own marketing firm and work with leading brands as a leader and a hard-working team member From experiencing 24 hour marathon sessions with our Director Dr Prof Uday Salunkhe to the international exposures... For me Welingkar has been a game changer! A special mention of Dr Salunkhe sir, Deepa Dixit Ma'am, Prof Pendse, Pramod Sir and Prof Venky.. their support has been immeasurable. Mind you- it's not just the theories but the personal grooming and exposure to the real world that made the faculties so special. Loads of gratitude.

It gives me great pleasure to reflect back on my experience with Welingkar - my alma mater. “Encouraging us to be more independent and the freedom to think and act on our own’- This, I would say, is the best thing I felt during my 2 years at Welingkar. We got enough opportunities to develop analytical skills, leadership and proactive thinking through various programs and events. Student friendly faculty and supporting staff created a conducive academic eco-system for any student to thrive on it. The curriculum is designed to make the student corporate ready and more emphasis is given on learning through case studies, design thinking, perspective management, etc.

I would say a 360 degree impact was made in my career for the 2 years spend in WeSchool. It opened different business dimensions which I would have never got been an Engineering graduate. I was fortunate to get the best of the faculties during my stint in WeSchool, which are still connected and guide me if I need any support. To sum up the E-biz course I took- it’s combined with the technology advancement & MBA specializations while giving us flavors of upcoming trends in traditional business management topics.

My first step at Welingkar, made me realize the world of opportunities that lay in front of me. As I climbed the stairs on the first day, I could feel myself getting absorbed into the world of WE. Just a fresher completing my BTech but with no previous work experience in my stride, I had taken to pursuing Management but had no clue that this place actually creates an environment which simulates the actual outside corporate world.

I worked with J.P.Morgan Chase for a year before I joined WeSchool. While working as a part of the Asset Management backend support team, it made me realize that the only way to climb up the corporate ladder was to study further and move to a front end role. Hence, my decision to pursue my masters. WeSchool has played an instrumental role in connecting me to experienced and helpful faculty and at the same time giving me an opportunity to network with the budding leaders of today’s industry. The course has a very good batch mix with students from diverse backgrounds, which truly enhances the learning experience. It is well structured with enough time to study as well as network not only with batch mates but also with industry professionals. The college has a very well structured placement program through which I got placed at Factset Research Systems. I have been working here for more than six years, and currently hold the position of a Manager of the India Client Consulting team.

The foundation for all the many achievements and accolades started at Welingkar in 2003. I still remember all the lessons I learnt at welingkar right from the 1st foundation fortnight where we had people like Jaydev Hattangadi teaching us how to act, or Mr. Barve training us on team work and coordination and later Dr. Uday Salunkhe himself taking us on an outbound trip to Karjat for management games. Games that started etching in our head importance of researching, planning, execution, coordination, team work and more. These were ofcourse just some impressions of the fortnight, but I can talk for hours about it.

Head of Digital Business
My motive to join an MBA program was to bridge the gap between what I had studied at my graduation course and how to apply the knowledge acquired by working to further enhance my career. I got a chance to opt for an exchange program to Denmark at the renowned Copenhagen Business School. The experience not only makes you learn about global cultures but also make friends for a lifetime. Through the various inter- collegiate management competitions WeSchool supports, I have won second and third place at the annual Draft FCB Ulka competition. The faculties are extremely good and don't restrict the curriculum to the text book but also give real life examples to drive home the point.

The 2 years in MMS have been an enriching experience for me. WeSchool provided me the opportunity to interact esteemed faculties and diverse peer set. During my tenure here, I got the opportunity to co-author a research paper on ‘Apprenticeship in India and world wide’ with an HR faculty. Lectures by visiting faculties from the Industry acquainted me with the contemporary industry practices. Outbound programs conducted by college imbibed teamwork and leadership qualities in me.
