Gulbahar Taurani, MD & CEO, Philips Appliances Indian Subcontinent said, “Life is a motion of giving and taking. Choose carefully. We often make mistakes by externalizing our failures, rather than internalizing them, which may help us evolve in the way we want to be. Never take the IIM tag for granted. It’s a new beginning, a new chapter of your life, make the most out of it. Use these years to learn. The theory is extremely important for a basic foundation. Never take adversities or challenges as problems rather leverage these as opportunities to embrace your growth.”
He ended his conversation with three nuggets:
- Develop a habit of respecting people irrespective of their status and you will become a natural networker.
- Cherish the years here at IIMU as these years will not come back, make friends and memories
- Have an open mind to learning and unlearning (adjust and adapt notion approach)
