Take-away from UBS: From Nothing to Something

Journey started from Jodhpur:

Story of a guy from Jodhpur- Sun City who was busy enjoying his life without thinking much about his future. He got a social networking keeda in himself with no thought of how it’s going to help in future. Created different social media assets (Pages & Account).

1^st love – Social Networking

What was in his mind? Nobody knew.

He tried to pursue his career in event management, then shifted to real estate & then again tried his bit in starting an ecommerce start-up which was failed due to some reason.

He realized that to be an entrepreneur is what satisfies him which eventually became his life and goal.

2^nd love – The word “entrepreneur”

A thought of doing MBA came into his mind as he was told that he lacks expertise in entrepreneurship which led to his failed ecommerce start-up. He got the direction, felt motivated and started the search of a good college to fulfil his dream of becoming an entrepreneur. He got to know about a college in Karjat from a friend of his named ‘Bhawani’ who was with him in CMAT coaching. Being a nature lover he liked the place and other facilities, i.e. faculty, placements etc.

3^rd love – Nature

Bhawani got to know about the college from his Brother-in-Law. We planned for the visit to college at the soonest possible time.

College: Universal Business School

He got the perfect combination for himself: Nature, Digital Marketing & CEO to guide. He became the mentee of Dean. But his life is unpredictable & he decided to stay some more time and learn on the campus, he made a shift from 1 year course to 2 years’ course-PGDM.

He became a Volunteer for Green Environment Campaign in his 1^st year and got selected as General Secretary – CSR in the 2^nd year. He further joined ELC-a student led corporation:

New Journey starts > Team Leader - Digital Marketing > Vice President – DM >?

Being mentee of Bibhas Sir (Dean):

He got the opportunity to handle social media of Rush4Rush- ‘The annual business adventure fest’ in 1^st year.

Became digital marketing team leader for Rush4Rush in 2^nd year and run a campaign, analysing & administration.

Became Mr. Rush4Rush’16.

Universal Business School made him SOMETHING FROM NOTHING.

That guy became CEO of ELC.

His name is Nirbhik Jangid.

Experiential Learning Corporation

(student led- Enterprise)

The very most common and yet unfulfilled dream of every management student. The dream is always to become most successful entrepreneur, to become the top business tycoon .every management student enters the college with this dream but the ones who actually work for the dream achieve the dream.

Here I am not talking about any training or seminars, but I am talking about the incredible initiative taken by “Universal Business School”. The school is going to put a brick of its own private limited company “EXPERIENTAL LEARNING CORPORATION”.As UBS says they have 80% practical learning this is one of them . Leaders will be no other than its own students.

The agenda of this idea is to provide an actual experience of corporate world. The students will apply all the study theories in the practical way under the same roof. They will be getting their promotions, achievements etc. they are working in the actual departments and earning a great revenue. The company has its own proper hierarchy of working. All the students went through all the corporate process when they hire their employees. The students who had applied to be a part of it were being interviewed by the main founders of the company, got shortlisted and then they were hired. The company has its own rules charter. So, the company totally works on ethics.

The company had its official bidding for the directorship of the company where only students were invited to bid. The quote of UBS – Where CEOs are made just got proved, UBS have actual directors, CEOs ,VPs working and learning both together. The enthusiasm of students is at such an extent that students have started working in the company before it get register. At the end I would like to say if you want to learn and earn, UBS is providing all opportunities to fulfill your dreams.

“B-schools are places where pebbles are polished”

When you enter into a B-SCHOOL you have fairly accurate idea concerning what you want to do with your life. Yes it’s a tough transition but this is the time that can truly make you an individual as you will be introduced to various things and get exposure of highs and lows.

During years we all  have always relied on our parents for support, but when we land up at this stage probably we will be on our own and its only us who can push our own self harder or in whichever manner we like to do.

Leaving the comfort amenities of home when I entered into UBS, I entered with a firm belief of being sensitive to my own gravity and the main thing on my head was “MY FUTURE”. Commuting from home to totally different atmosphere was a dramatic change for me.But at UBS, it makes you feel more like home & less isolated.

In no time,i felt B-schools can make you realize few things,things that are probably in common encountered by every student of a B-school.

You will be left on your own here.Their is your new found freedom and you have to make use of it wisely without losing ends. Support is always available,you just have to make a use out of it.

The most important thing you encounter is the workload,large volume of deadlines and assignments which are always piling up in front of your eyes.There will be endless nights spend studying leading you towards frustrations but as they say,things always appear better in mornings & reward for hardwork is success. Hang in there because this is just the start of a long jouney.

In that journey,you will always find people,appears to be your friend. You will make a lot of new friends. Select them with patience because your company affects your overall development.Continue to be yourself. Don’t strike a pose or play the role of someone you’re not.

As these years are the most crucial year to learn and grow. Make sure you find and explore numerous opportunities at every step. From late night studies to early morning classes, from guest lecture to campus events make sure you engross yourself in everything. Try & get to involve yourself in everything while you work towards your aim & future.

It is a time filled with anticipation, some anxiety, and wonderful discoveries.It might be the beginning of your self-definition process. Going to B-school is as much about finding out who you really are as it is about getting that degree.

UNIVERSAL BUSINESS SCHOOL(UBS)

The first green business school in Mumbai. When I heard this name for first time the thing that came to my mind is that how a place in Mumbai can be so luscious and scenically green as it is the most populated city in India. Then I researched on this place and came to know that it lies in outskirts of Mumbai. A beautiful town surrounded by hills.

It’s always good to be surrounded by hills and a peaceful place to study that Universal Business School provides.

UBS becomes God’s own town in Monsoon. In monsoon it looks like UBS is heaven on Earth. It’s very beautiful and dream come true to view the scene with lots of waterfall and greenery around us.

Our professors are our mentors, who teach and guide us to enhance our management and professional skills and to learn leadership qualities. It is a residential campus we live here 24*7 as a family. Everyone helps each other whenever they are in need. It can be said that “UBS is home away from home”.

We have our own student corporation company named as ELC (Experiential Learning Limited) an initiative by BABM Students. Here we work as we would work in corporate with same designations and departments.

It’s fun to work in ELC as we work in a different manner. The hiring and firing process is different. It’s not same traditional methods followed in corporate for hiring and even also for firing. Every department have their team leader to lead their team. It helps us to learn the responsibilities and tactics of a team leader and how one can manage and motivate their team to work. We all do our work and studies with full enthusiasm and our faculty guides us for the same.

This is how’s our UBS life works. Under pressure also we find enjoyment.

One becomes emotionally attached to UBS he one steps in.
