Life in a Business School – Prelude

I have been off the radar for a long time now. It is not that I was busy doing ‘other’ stuff. It is not that I had run out of topics to write about. India as a ‘happening’ country always provides you with enough fodder to satiate your literary appetite. (Wait. Did I say fodder? I wish they served me fodder on a daily basis, which I presume, would taste better than what our mess serves in the name of food. But that topic is for an altogether different day). I simply couldn’t push myself to write.

From now on, I promise to be a lot more frequent because I have something interesting to write about; something that has always remained a guarded secret within the confines of a typical Indian top-ranked business school. Much of what I will cover here are events that typically unfold on a daily basis in these institutes of national (and commercial) importance.

We see, hear and read about the rosy side of life after business education. If you are an aspiring student or the parent of such a student, no one knows the facts that these institutes report about their success parameters more than you. But what you read in the newspapers is not even 10% of the story (and in most cases, especially when placement and salary statistics are reported, an element of fiction arising out of creative arithmetic). There is a shady side to management education and life in a bschool which never gets reported in public.

I take it upon myself to enlighten the world about these unpleasant realities. I don’t intend to put all of them in one post. I plan to write about them in a series of blog posts, with each highlighting a specific facet of the multiple dimensions.

Stay tuned.
