Statement of Purpose

A statue cannot be sculpted with one hand only; it needs both the hands
to give it the desired shape. My career for me is that statue and I am one of the
hands and MBA is the other. With an engineering degree in place, I would like to
explore the industry through a management perspective. Some years from now,
I see myself setting up a venture for which I would need a closer understanding
of the industry and its trends. An MBA programme will help me tackle my future
assignments by enhancing my skills to face the challenges of a corporate
environment. My primary aim is to understand the administrative and
managerial systems of the corporate world, to learn and grow with the
opportunities I get and in due course excel in the related field. An MBA
programme would help me understanding people and relations, organizational
structure, marketing scenarios, studying economy through a finance perspective,
study of Indian and international markets and other important of the aspects of
the industry.

"Most successful men have achieved their distinction by having some new
talent or opportunity presented to them.”

These words by Bruce Barton explain my outlook for attaining success in a

nutshell. If one were to ask my friends to describe me they would portray me as
a very pleasant, diverse, active and intelligent person. I think one of my most
distinguishing characteristics is the diversity of experiences I possess. I am an
Engineering student with an interest in Management. With a technical education
background, I have an industry experience with Marketing and HR –
Recruitments. All these elements have given me a very broad outlook, with
varying degrees of knowledge in a range of topics. I strongly believe that these
qualities will influence my post graduation work in some or the other way. My
Engineering degree has given a strong foundation to my analytical skills and also
helped me in dealing with situations which may seem difficult initially. After
completing my graduation, I worked for a Recruitment firm, with strength of 30,
as a Consultant in IT recruitments. My core responsibilities were to understand
and explain the IT recruitments of the clients to my team. At the same time I was
also responsible for handling recruitments in other sectors of the industry. I
achieved success early with this organisation, leading a team of 2 members
when it was just 3 months since I joined and also I received a salary hike 4 times
in a single year. I also have an experience of working in Marketing with a start-up
which was into selling of security systems. I spend my spare time in the
company of underprivileged children, helping them in their studies, celebrating
festivals or special days and trying to get more people interested in donating for
such orphanages. There are certain Cheshire homes in my locality which I visit
quite often. I am an avid sportsperson and play cricket and football.

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior
teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires”
 This statement of the great author William Arthur Ward, describes all the
parameters that an institute should have and NMIMS encapsulates this. With an
eclectic mix of experience and versatility in its faculty, the institute takes up the
role of sculptor shaping the perfect future for an aspirant. Their dedication and
role in making “future managers” is clearly shown through the consistent
success stories of its students. The institute lies in the heart of the financial
capital of India which itself is a great advantage. The right kind of industry
experts are associated with this institute as visiting faculty, which makes it more
advantageous to the students in learning the latest industry trends and relating
it to their subjects. With the kind of placements NMIMS has, it will provide me the
perfect opportunity to help me shape the right career path.

With my experience with varied industry sectors and a flair for people
management, I hope that the admissions committee finds my background and
strengths commensurate with the requirements of NMIMS’s Masters Program in
Business Administration.
