IPL Experience

“In addition to the subjects, the IPL program has “capsules” of career sessions. For example, you get dedicated half –hour to one-hour time with Professor Pinkesh or Professor Ranjan, where you discuss your personal and professional perceptions, and get honest feedback on that. This lets you introspect and think about changing your compass in terms of what you want to achieve in your life. Professor Vishy handled the HR and career coaching, and shared exercises on assessments about your leadership and professional development. I looked into those assignments very seriously in terms of where I am and what I want to achieve.

At the start of my career, I did not have a mentor, and I was pretty much like an unguided missile, trying various things, because I was ambitious. At IPL, I had the support of mentors who were not just academicians, but practitioners. They actually spent time with me and did a course-correction in terms of what I want to do in life.”
