Michael Jebadurai joined #IFMR GSB with the intention of doing Finance and understand how money works. Coming from an engineering background, he had some difficulty coping with #finance, but he persevered. Unlike undergraduate degrees, #MBA had a lot of peer-learning and was more focused on the approach. However, an MBA isn’t cheap. He says that if you plan on doing an MBA, it is essential that your package at least helps you pay off your loan. Ultimately, money is important, no matter how much you love your job. *This is a promoted feature
In this video, he goes into details of finance, and how he looks at the MBA as a time and money commitment. He talks about how one should choose their #b-school, what all they should be looking for including the placements and #ROIs. He also speaks of his days in IFMR, and his first job, giving us brief insights into what happened with the 2G scam, which happened when he was working in SBI. Finally, he speaks of his role in Piramal Capital and what his responsibilities are.
