August Academy's MBA Admissions Blog

Bharathi: Undergraduate College -> Business School (2+2)/IIM Calcutta

Karthik Sir has been my mentor for the past year and I am grateful to him for helping me rediscover myself.

A year ago, as a prefinal year student, I wanted to have a international business exposure but was unsure if MBA was the right choice for me. My parents were looking at some well-known consulting institutions for help, when we came upon August Academy, by accident. My parents preferred August Academy as they offered one-to-one sessions and for their approach towards people.

During the process, achievements and information that I had considered insignificant, were used to create a bigger picture (what I call as “My Story”): a picture I hadn’t believed to exist. I have learnt to appreciate my strengths and achievements, even the smallest of them, and to take pride in them. It helped me regain my confidence I, now, know more about myself than I did before. I can clearly understand my reasons for choosing a business career.

I received interview calls from 2 out of the 3 institutions I applied for, the third being Harvard. I have, also, been admitted into IIM C’s PGDBA course. People are now enquiring me about the help I had and I am happy to point them towards Karthik Sir(August Academy). Karthik Sir has been my mentor for the past year and I am grateful to him for helping me rediscover myself.
