IIM, A churning machine
as i was browsing thru some management related stuff, i stumbled upon the blog of one Anand Sritharan . his profile was quite interesting. he is an IITian , finished his Masters in EE from UCLA, worked with Intel as a Design Engineer in Santa Clara for a while but went back to India to crack CAT and is now with McKinsey after his IIMA stint. for sometime, i was pondering on what could have made him go back and take CAT. IIM craze of course, i decided. over a period of time, i have started to feel that all our IIMs and other management institutes in India have become a churning machine of salesmen and marketing personnel . they are producing graduates who take delight in their trained taste for management and are convinced somehow that they have made the most rational decision by getting into management well early in their lives. this is a serious thought to me at this stage of my career and also purely from my not-so-well-informed point of view: do i want to sell my country
