I thought this program was a unique opportunity to work on a degree that isn’t available at most of the colleges in Madhya Pradesh and a degree I can see myself enjoying what I do. Travelling is the thing that has fascinated me since childhood, that’s why I chose to make my career in International Business, where I get the opportunity to travel across the national boundaries and also to do something I enjoy a lot – Marketing. Attending PIMR’s MBA (IB) course has shaped me into an independent and tenacious individual. The professors challenged my academic abilities and I have grown so much because of them. Choosing PIMR, Indore to pursue my master’s degree was one of the best decision I have ever made.
