Team members and Mentors
Durga Madhaba Padhy
While working in a PSU, Durga felt he was ready to take the next big move of getting an MBA degree. Though he had the hunger in him, he hardly had any guidance. Starting from GMAT preparation to choosing between B-schools, at each step he had to go with his gut feeling. And on top of that, very little understanding about MBA interviews & writing SOPs added to his trouble. Though he got interview calls from many B-schools, he was not able to convert those until he got admit from IIM Calcutta. Looking back, he understands what he lacked back then & with that experience he helps candidates.
