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 up to the arduous work that generally technician needs to do every day so he needed to leave that work when I began working for Tata Motors. My father was not glad in light of the fact that he needed to leave the work yet in the meantime, he was upbeat likewise on the grounds that I joined one of the best automotive companies of India.
Students usually face this question in an interview: Why Mechanical engineering? So I was fortunate enough to have my father's story and passion along with me to share with the interviewers. Because of my father only, I started liking mechanical engineering and stuff. So with all this love when I joined Tata Motors, I started working in planning department where I got a chance to learn about operations management also. Initially managing multiple things was getting difficult and parallel learning about operations was becoming tedious for me, but after 2-3 months I really started loving that stuff. The way I used to calculate takt time, learn about workstations on shop, how to design shop floor practices, process documents, supplier management and selection, new product development and so forth, I truly got into these ideas and began considering doing an MBA in operations management to get deep insights about this area. With time I learned that along with operations management, supply chain plays a vital role, so I thought to apply to purchase department for learning in and out of procurement, logistics, supplier development and all. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to work in that area. I was very sad because my passion and love for supply chain was growing with days but there was no one to give me that platform.
But everything happens for a reason and that reason turned out to be clear when I got selected into NITIE (National Institute of Industrial Engineering) for regular MBA program for two years. You can imagine my happiness at that moment and the best part was that NITIE is India's top most college for providing supply chain and operations management course.
The National Institute of Industrial Engineering, popularly known as NITIE, is a prestigious business school located in the heart of Mumbai and was established in 1963. Today when I am studying in this supply chain Mecca and getting what I was looking for till date, it feels incredible. I got to learn about finance, accounting, procurement, supply chain, operations, Industry etc. just in a time span of six months. I joined in June 2015 and in all these months when I see my progress, I have really learned a lot about my career goals, and they are very clear now. I feel great in saying that I have done the same which I always wanted to do. Whether it is about doing mechanical engineering at first, then beginning my profession with automotive company or doing post graduation in supply chain and operations, I feel fortunate to do things of my interest. This couldn't be same with everybody when individuals say that they are not in any case clear about their future. Rat race is being followed and they are a part of that. I feel good to be doing everything for me only.
Now why I am writing this amidst the night? because when people say why MBA? I have this stunning trip to clarify them my account of doing an MBA. I hope this could help anyone preparing for this big WHY question.

I'm 26 and since the very first day, I started understanding worldly affairs I have witnessed my father abusing my mother every day. She has endured a lot.

I respect my identity!

"Hey! I guess, sometimes you find it hard to understand things because you wear big cloth on your head and things don't reach your mind because of that cloth ..... " she said and started laughing. She was not anyone else but a senior professor of my college with a good number of degrees and even she has written one book.  In short, she made fun of my look, my identity, my uniqueness and my faith in a set of principles I follow. I don't want to bring any religion into this conversation because for me religion is about controlling one's hatred and accepting others in their true forms. I haven't learnt religion to pray to God aloud in speakers at 4 AM in the morning so that everyone in the colony must know what I'm doing or to hurt people in the name of God. I have learnt religion to control my inner self and anger so that my actions are not driven by my perception but better by my observations. I look different, people stare at me when I ente...
