I once got lost in a thought, "What would I have been doing if I did not join an IIM?"
Many of us look forward to joining an IIM and might have multiple reasons in mind. I am one of them who fumbled upon various reasons but never really realized why am I here.
IPM is a program for young aspiring managers, and we joined the program straight out of school with a dream in our hearts.
The very thought of being at a premier institute like IIM, and being taught by the best of faculty members, was overwhelming. An enthusiastic and talented peer group from diverse parts of the country in the classroom added to the fun and fear.
Icarus' flight is a popular Greek myth. The story tells of a young man who attempts to fly too close to the sun with wings made of wax and feathers. The heat of the sun causes the wax to melt, and Icarus falls into the sea and drowns. The story warns of unrestrained ambition. But surely our ambition is not of flight, and wings of wax.
