Why MBA?

So this is just my style of giving an answer to this big WHY question, whenever asked. I prefer to answer it through explaining a beautiful trip of learning ... So let's read it! From the very beginning, when I joined THAPAR for my bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, I discovered mechanical procedures and ideas exceptionally intriguing. Manly feel and lots of things to assemble and disassemble gives you a lot of freedom to create something for your happiness. My father was an automotive mechanic and even without getting a basic engineering degree, he used to apply the basics of engineering while working on automotive components in a very beautiful way. I learnt a lot about frugal innovation from him. Even after doing engineering from such a reputable college in North India and learning more about mechanical than my father, I was constantly intrigued by his style of working. I adored his working methodology. In spite of the fact that with time he was not ready to adapt

Introduction   The Indian dairy industry has been through an advancement right from the British period until today. The nation is the world's biggest milk maker, representing more than 13% of world's aggregate milk creation. Milk creation contributes 22 % to agricultural GDP. It has made some amazing progress throughout the years from a milk generation volume of 23 million tons in 1973 to 132.4 million tons in 2013. Today, the Indian Dairy industry is at a mammoth size of US$ 70 billion. Presently, just 20% of the milk creation originates from the sorted out segment (organized) including co-agents and private dairies. The extent of Indian dairy industry in both organized and un-organized areas is expected to double to $140 billion by 2020, because of growing demand and rising disposable income.   According to NDDB, the Indian dairy industry is good to go to experience high development rates with demand to reach 200 million tons by 2022 from 132 million tons in 2013.

Why all SARDARS look same??

Life was very simple when people used to call me by my original name " Maninder ". I never knew that name has so much importance till I entered NITIE, Mumbai. An MBA college, famous for its supply chain domain, and located near Powai. Since the day I entered this college, people have tried almost everything to just remember my name, but they are not able to. Because to them, all Sardars look same!!!!  OMG!! Maninder has become "Manvinder", "Manpreet", "Mandeep", "Manmeet", "Saardar" and many more after entering NITIE. And my reaction is WOW!! Only this was left after Santa Banta, 12 bje wala Sardar joke and a lot. So this was my first reaction when I came to NITIE. Out of 800 students, 50 professors, and other staff, around 80% of the people believe that all sardars look same. It's really hard to believe that if we can see the difference between Shahrukh Khan of Rabb ne bna di jodi and Akshay Kumar of Sin

Friends this personality was my grandfather, S. Khushwant Kanwal. I lost him the day after I joined NITIE. My parents didn't tell me because they thought I would be worried. And  I am an unfortunate one who was not in
