Are you working in your family business/startup & considering doing an MBA/Masters?
You might want to do this for multiple reasons
Network with a diverse bunch of professionals from different walks of life.
To realign your goals & learn about the newest developments in the business world
Be a part of a alumni network and a prolific & credible brand
I resonated with these points when I joined the Indian School of Business, without the goal of getting placed, but to develop myself as a professional. I opted out of placements to build my family business and start Edumate, and was able to get the ‘ROI’ in more ways than one!
The discipline and time management skills gained in the year(s) of transformation will reflect in your work once you join back, and you will see a difference in your mindset! You’ll have access to an incredible network which would be useful for your business.
As the VP of the Entrepreneurship Club and a newly minted Chapter Leader of the Kolkata ISB Alumni Network, I have seen that being a part of an MBA community gives me the confidence to build something interesting, because I know that I will get support if I need it!
Some MBA programs, like ISB, offer deferred placements, allowing you to opt for placements for up to 2 years post-graduation.
Getting an MBA/Masters from a top school as an entrepreneur is a great idea, as you will gain in the long term!
