Curtains are drawn. 9-April, the date all of us might be waiting
for long time has come. Formally students of IIMA, we were being introduced to
the school. Most of the senior professors along with Director were there to
light the lamp of a year of education and a bright future.
Prof. Maheshwari, Chairperson, PGPX, gave an inaugural speech followed
by Key note address by Prof. Nanda, Director, IIMA.
After introduction of various professors, it was open for
questions and my colleagues showed that there was no dearth of excitement,
talent, and enthusiasm towards the program.
Inaugural address ended on positive note with individual
interaction with professors over tea and continued with a day-long induction
sessions in our designated class room. Our Seat plan was already shared.
A session with Prof. Maheshwari was good enough to give us a
flavor of why IIMA is known as the best school in the country. An interaction
with Prof. Sanjay Verma was just full of one-liners. Prof. Parvinder Gupta,
Coordinator, Induction led the way of introducing us to the various aspects of
interpersonal relationships, which were going to be necessary for the
collaborated work we would be required to do here.
Induction Day ended with an interaction with IIMA Alums who shared
their perspective towards the course and school. Inaugural dinner
gave us one more opportunity to interact with various professors, alums, and
fellow students informally.
Day ended with a lot of excitement and a case analysis assignment
to be discussed tomorrow. Induction would be continuing for two more days.
