Graduate / Career objective and how MBA will help achieve it. [6]

From World War I to the World Wide Web, many of the issues confronting organizations have changed and will keep changing .Not all the organisations were proactive and sadly we had to witness the demise of some of the best loved organisations. So many jobs were lost and with the jobs, the lives of the employees and the dependents also suffered. I strongly believe if right decisions were taken at right time at least few of those organisations would have definitely survived.

I wish to pursue a career in business consulting where I can advise and direct at least few of those organisations to make right decisions in right time. I wish not only to save the organisations but to help them to be making very good progress and be in profits.

An MBA will help me in many ways in achieving my goal. First, it will help me to gain and understand the theoretical knowledge and give the foundation of business management in broader perspective; second, it will help in personal development and improving soft skills, through dedicated programs, teamwork, and others experiences. But the most important aspect of any learning is, how well can the theoretical knowledge is implemented practically? By my research, I reached to a conclusion that MBA from xxx university excels in the particular aspect of implementing the theoretical knowledge into practice and I join the voice "Knowledge is not enough".

Undergraduate / "taking a right business decision" How will you contribute to the study groups in MBA [2]

The percentage of taking a right business decision of a diversified group is much higher than a group of people with similar attributes, background and knowledge. The simple reason being the number of ideas and more importantly the solutions which arise in a diversified group is higher.

I was born in a small village in India, first to attend an English medium school in the family and the neighbourhood. Rose to the challenge and became school captain and won many prizes in both academics and sports. My results prompted people around me to predict I will be a high academic achiever. But with the demise of my father with two younger siblings, I had to rearrange my priorities and choose a career which can secure me a job in the quickest possible time. Sacrificing a seat in computer engineering, I joined Hotel management and secured a job with a 5star hotel chain in India and arrived in the UK as an assistant manager of a restaurant in 2004 and with hard work and determination became the first General Manager among my peers.

I am local, but also international .I worked with very big multinational companies with 500 employees' onsite and managed 50 people on one shift but I also have the experience of running an organisation with just 20 personnel.

My rich experience of living and working in different countries, positions and organisations after surviving extremely challenging circumstances will add to the intellectual and otherwise diversity of the student group.
