I, am Operations.
I have seen 3 batches of students pursuing their MBAs in studying various aspects about me from SIBM Pune and this is the 4th (pun intended). It would definitely not be wrong on my part to say that this is the best bunch of people to have ever adorned the tag of Opscians
I can vividly remember 3rd August 2009 when 25 people from different educational and professional backgrounds gathered in X101 to join hands for the next two years. With a good mix of freshers as well as people with good work experience (across diverse sectors), engineers and non-engineers, this batch was all set to embark on a rocking journey.
There were Guri, Shreyas, Zoozoo, Antoz, Kedar and Tudu who handled the mantle of responsibilities of the class CR with utmost sincerity and dedication. Budhwar was the Lone Wolf, the undisputed topper of the batch. Sunainaand Rakhee ensured that the population of the fairer sex was the best ever in the history of Ops, growing by a good 100% over the previous year. Jain Saab was undoubtedly the most knowledgeable person in the class. Hailey was an expert faffer and Nitin was the one who always finished first (in the exams). Grover was the first to get a PPO in the class and Gaurav Jain was the man for Jugaad & Gossip. Then there were the Chor Brothers (Kunal & Vivek), both of whom had made us proud in sporting activities. Our very own Rajat, who was known for his love for ABN Amro Bank. There was Anirbond, who along with Cheti and Kunal filled in for the Senior Citizen post of the class. Chawla, our very own friend from Purdue gave an international flavor to the class. Milind, Kaushal and Ankur were eternal meditators in class. Chandran & Anubhav were the visiting students.
Known for their solidarity and compassion, camaraderie and bonhomie THIS batch is, without any ambiguity, the batch with the closest bonding on the campus. They are the only people who have had the privilege to go on Educational Tours to industries fully sponsored by the Institute.
After two years, as this fun filled yet focused, enjoyable yet disciplined journey comes to an end, I hope everyone leaves this place with all their wishes, personal and professional, fulfilled. I am glad and consider myself fortunate, that each of these 25 most amazing people will adorn MY tag for the rest of their life. I am sure they will miss each other as I am sure to. I also hope that they stay connected and as closely bonded as they are all today and end up being successful in their chosen paths of life.
