1 AM, Cafe Tanstaafl
IIM Ahmedabad
Another hot summer night.
Three people over chai.
Heated Discussions....
What they share ... a Passion for management, excitement in being at IIMA, immense opportunities ahead of them and a strong sense of belongingness to the campus.
The discussion centers around what it was like getting into this place. The whole process of gaining entry into the hallowed portals...the passion that drove them and five hundred others!
One of them smiled through his description of the "philosophical discourses" he had with a professor during his interview. Someone else talked about a friend's interview where a lawyer was kindly requested to derive a mathematical formula (Needless to say minutes later the professor derived it himself).
On a different note one of them talked about a graduate student who had recently visited the campus. He had travelled 26 hours all the way to IIMA to get information about admissions. His only motive was to hear it straight from the people inside. He had the drive, passion and capability ...he could make it! With that little extra information to direct his hardwork and commitment.
This led to the discussion about lakhs of young grads who write CAT. Do all of them have the required information and inspiration?
Can we do something about it? One of them was a strong believer in the power of internet. Another believed that information can make the difference and the third had conviction about real development happening through community and sharing. An idea was born ...www.iimcatwalk.com !
With the vision of breaking the information assymetry and thus enabling thousands of young graduates from all parts of the country to dream and achieve, the journey began. The mission is to provide a platform for the achievers who made it into the best, and aspirants who strive for the best to share their knowledge and experiences.
Happy Catwalking,
The IIMcatwalk Team
