The Copy-Paste Trap: Is AI Quietly Killing Your Originality? - By Dr. Shailendra Pawaskar

“Think Beyond AI: Build Originality, Critical Thinking, and Future-Ready Skills with an MBA or PGDM.” As students pursuing an MBA or PGDM , you have access to the most powerful intellectual engine in human history. AI is transforming management education, making research, writing, and problem-solving faster than ever. But there's a fine line between using a tool to build faster and letting it design your mind. Imagine - It’s 11:30 PM on a Sunday. You’ve got a major assignment due for submission on Monday morning, but, at midnight, a blank document staring you down and a cursor blinking like a tiny judgment engine. Ten years ago, this moment meant panic, late-night coffee and a desperate attempt to connect random concepts you read in a paper or book at 2:00 PM. Today? You open an AI assistant, type a prompt, and watch 800 words of crisp, grammatically perfect prose materialise in just couple of seconds. Relief,  sorted immediately . But as you scroll through the assignment,...

The Train Ride That Taught Me a Lesson – By Sankalp Bamane

At that point, I thought, Okay… maybe that's all. I was wrong.  10th August 2026. Nahur Station. It started like any other ordinary day. I reached Nahur Station and boarded a local train. But the train was extremely crowded. Because of the rush, I found myself standing near the doorway. My destination was Vidhyavihar, but the crowd was so heavy that I decided to get down at Kanjurmarg and wait for the rush to reduce. After a while, I boarded another train. I thought everything would be fine. But the moment the train started moving, something completely unexpected happened. The Moment Everything Changed Suddenly, I felt a strong push from behind. Before I could understand what was happening, I lost my balance. I turned around the pole inside the train and, somehow, ended up hanging on the outside of the train . The train started gaining speed. I tried to get back inside, but I couldn't. At that moment, I had no choice but to hold on and somehow remain safe. ...

The First Job, the Unwritten Rules: Understanding Workplace Culture as an MBA Fresher - By Prof. Akanksha Shringarpure

How students can approach their first corporate experience after completing their MBA with curiosity, confidence and an open mind. The first day at work often brings a combination of excitement, anticipation and questions for MBA's. What will the team be like? How should I communicate with my manager? When is the right time to ask for help? How can I make a meaningful contribution? For students entering their first corporate role after completing their MBA or PGDM, understanding the work is one part of the transition. Another is discovering how people communicate, collaborate and make decisions within the organisation. These everyday experiences introduce new professionals to workplace culture. From an educator’s perspective, this transition offers an opportunity to reflect on how expectations develop through experience. Students bring knowledge, ideas and aspirations. The workplace provides a setting in which they can apply their learning and develop professional judgment....

LinkedIn Profile vs LinkedIn Presence: Why Personal Branding Matters for MBA Students and Career Growth - By Prof. Aditi Tathagat Gosalia

Having a LinkedIn profile is easy.  Building a LinkedIn presence is a different game altogether. For an MBA aspirant or management student, LinkedIn can be much more than an online resume. It can become a place to showcase your learning, develop your professional identity, connect with industry and gradually build credibility before you even enter the corporate world. Today, almost every MBA student has a LinkedIn profile.   A good photograph.   A polished headline.   Your graduation details.   Certifications.   Internships.   Projects.   Maybe a few achievements.   Perhaps even a carefully written “About” section.   Done. Right? Not really.   Because a LinkedIn profile tells people who you are.   A LinkedIn presence gives people a reason to remember you.   And for students preparing to enter a competitive job market, that difference matters.   What Is the Difference Between a LinkedIn Pr...
