Met this bubbly entrepreneur who happens to be connected through a classmate too, and a very warm, talkative personality. Though it was our first meeting (courtesy Linkedin), we got along really well. She parks herself on Park Street (that's where her office is), but moves around doing multiple things. Like meeting clients, offering guest lectures at some local colleges in Kolkata, and meeting strange people like me. Meet Suhasini Barman, who runs a company named after herself. She is also joining the Goldman Sachs-sponsored program for Women Entrepreneurs at IIMB soon. So we will be co-alums too!

Campus Vibes- Prestige University, Indore
Each campus has its vibes. So does ours. Here are a few pics that capture these vibes, over the last few months - 23-24.
Festivities, guest faculty from all around the world (below)Classmates as Guest Faculty
A rich source of guest faculty is my class from IIM Bangalore. Therefore, we at Prestige University have started tapping into this. We have had B.B. Dash, Ph.D. from IIT Delhi in addition to the MBA, recently. The latest was Shankara Rajan, also nicknamed Rajan of India, as a guest faculty in H.R. He was head of H.R. Transformation at Reliance Industries in his last corporate foray.
Pics from his visit-
Even more recently, in March/April 2024, we had Dr. Sunil Gupta, an IIT Delhi Ph.D. once again (after IIMB). We co-taught a course called Business Research Methods.
