First week at MBA

My First week was a fun week where we had good induction. We are class of 65 and a very diverse one !! few interesting facts

> Class has people from India 30% ( 20 people), Greece, south america, USA, Germany , china, South Korea, Singapore etc
> Very diverse work profiles...We have Surgeon, Lawyer, PHD's, BBC editor, as usual tons of Indian IT folks :)
> Age ranges from 23 to 45 !

First day we had team collaboration event where team was asked "to make rocket and make it fly" it was fun and indeed our rocket did fly very high in air..few snaps are below



We had a around 3 parties in first week seems fun isnt it ;) however I have to admit that next one year looks to be very hectic and packed up.
We were introduced to courses for next one year. Imperial focuses a lot on innovation and entrepreneurship.

This term we have 3 courses

> Accounting
> Economics : Macro and Micro
> People and organization

Followed by

> Strategy
> Marketing
> Finance Management

Then Project on IED( innovation design and entreprenuership) , 3 electives and Final project.

My Objective from MBA is being more focussed on Strategy and get into Strategy Consulting.

My next 2 months blog will be focussed on learnings on Accounting, Economics, People and organisation.

Ohh BTW i have joined Table tennis, Tennis and cricket club in Imperial college ..so I plan to reduce 10 kgs in next one year. Hope I achieve that :)
Till then off to studying ...bubye
