At the cost of appearing biased, I have to say that minds busy in implementation can be intentionally
prone to confusion between noises and meanings of how people really think, behave and act.

Real action and Repercussions of people's action becomes clearer only once you get into sales.
Selling a consulting assignment is like learning customer's perspective from a different vantage
point.

Jointly introspecting about customer issues, developing his vision from scratch, influencing him and
creating a unique solution was how I spent a significant amount of my time in this role.

Creating marketing collateral, selling assignments and handling teams was the flavour of the role.

Studying at ISB was the most distinct education experience for me. It was refreshing in more than
one way.Being used to traditional ways of education, I was pleasantly surprised by the unique
teaching experience offered at ISB.

As goes the popular saying, best learning may not necessarily be discovering a new concept but
discovering a new aspect of an existing concept. Looking at business from an altogether different
vantage point was a unique aspect of ISB experience.

When you find yourself sipping mid-night coffee while finishing an assignment, when solving
complex business cases becomes part of your DNA, when partying throughout the night is as much
of an importance as studies; you know you are are deep into ISB culture.

The stretch was not only physical but also psychological. I would rate ISB experience as the most
fruitful learning experience I have ever had.
