MBA@DoMS, IIT Kanpur’s Post

Recently, I had the privilege of returning to my alma mater, Indian Institute of Management, Indore, for an enlightening interaction with the current cohort of the Executive Doctoral Programme in Management (EDPM). This opportunity to present and discuss SkinMinds was truly enriching, and I owe immense gratitude to Professor Jayasimha K R for extending this invitation. The session was a remarkable blend of sharing insights about SkinMinds and engaging in profound discussions with the accomplished senior executives comprising the EDPM batch. The exchange of ideas was invigorating, leaving me with a treasure trove of valuable insights to ponder. One particularly resonant theme that emerged from our discourse was the power of collaboration and collective wisdom in driving meaningful change. Witnessing the synergy among EDPM members and their diverse perspectives reinforced the importance of fostering inclusive environments where every voice is valued. Furthermore, the session underscored the ethos of lifelong learning and perpetual professional growth. Interacting with such a diverse and talented cohort reinforced the notion of staying curious, remaining receptive to new ideas, and seizing every opportunity for personal and collective advancement. I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the warm reception and stimulating conversations at IIM Indore. It's always a privilege to reconnect with the institution that played a pivotal role in shaping my professional journey. Special thanks once again to Professor Jayasimha K R and the entire EDPM cohort for making this experience unforgettable. Here's to future collaborations and continued growth together! #IIMIndore #EDPM #SkinMinds #ProfessionalGrowth #LifelongLearning #Gratitude #Leadership #Innovation #BusinessInsights

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 During my student years, I found myself in diverse leadership roles, from heading an ATV manufacturing unit to overseeing operations as the overall student coordinator at the IEEE VIT BHOPAL Student Chapter to starting my own startup.  Each role brought its own share of challenges and hurdles, yet these experiences were not merely titles; they were crucibles of challenge and learning, shaping my understanding of how to inspire and guide individuals within an organization. Admittedly, there were moments of setback when my assumptions faltered, or individuals withdrew. This propelled me to recognize a constant need for refining my leadership style and shaping how others perceive me. Driven by this passion for growth, I took a bold step and applied for the Harvard Business School 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞. I am ecstatic to share with you all that my application has been successful! 🎓✨ As I embark on this new chapter, I carry with me the invaluable lessons learned from both triumphs and tribulations. I am eager to immerse myself in a transformative learning experience, one that will undoubtedly shape my approach to leadership and influence for years to come. And I can't wait to bring back the insights and skills I gain to empower the teams I lead in the future. Thank you for being a part of my journey! 🌟 #LifeLongLearner #HarvardBound #LeadershipJourney #newbeginnings #newcareeropportunities

🌟 One month into my PGDM journey at Welingkar Institute of Management, Bengaluru, and what a ride it's been (quite literally, thanks to the infamous Bengaluru traffic 😅)! Coming from Lucknow, adapting to this bustling city has been an adventure, to say the least. The first 21 days were dedicated to NEEV—our orientation program—where we were introduced to the theme of WECaas, symbolizing growth, much like the spirit of Welingkar. It was packed with insightful sessions from industry experts. A few standouts for me: ✨ **Ranjani Krishnan**, ex-director at BT Group, taught us the importance of self-awareness, empathy, and motivation for effective leadership. Truly inspiring! 📊 **Kishore BS** led a fun stock market simulation where we pretended to be brokers. Coming from a science background, finance has always been a bit daunting for me, but this session made it both fun and educational. 🌱 **Ganesh Shanker** from FluxGen showed us how tech and sustainability can (and should) go hand in hand, while **Parag Kulkarni** from Accenture made me rethink ESG – enough to make me switch to commuting by bicycle! 🚲 (Yes, I’m contributing to reducing carbon emissions, one pedal at a time!) 💡 **Chirag Garg** pushed me to think outside the box, helping me view challenges in a new light. One month down, and I’m thrilled about what’s to come. Here’s to growth, learning, and navigating this beautiful city (and its traffic)! 🚦#PGDM #WeSchool #Leadership #FinanceForNonFinance #Sustainability #BengaluruLife #LearningJourney

We began by setting expectations and understanding everyone's roles and responsibilities.

We also talked about the difference between Aspirational Bharat Collaborative and Aspirational District collaboration approach.

We explored the distinctions between collaboration and convergence, with case studies to illustrate. As fellows, we discussed common problems faced during fieldwork in panchayats, highlighting the challenges related to money, mandate, and manpower (the 3Ms). Here's a simple description of GPEC, GPCC, and GPFT: 1. Gram Panchayat Empowerment Committee (GPEC): A group that helps empower local communities by involving them in decision-making for sustainable development. 2. Gram Panchayat Coordination Committee (GPCC): A committee that fosters coordination among different stakeholders at the panchayat level to ensure smooth implementation of development projects. 3. Gram Panchayat Facilitation Team (GPFT): A team that supports panchayats by building their capacity, mobilizing resources, and promoting effective governance, thereby nurturing local leadership and innovation. 🌱what I took away from from this workshop: •Increase my knowledge of ADC receiver of service and ABC co-creator approaches. •Gained more knowledge about the collaboration and converence. •making understanding work of doers and enablers.
