event. Within 2 days I was able to arrange 3 buses full of channel partners and later as the event was a
success, I was rewarded for the work from my boss. The other job of marketing I did was at Tata Value
Homes, where there was a campaign of property going on. On the day of campaign I was the only one

I want to do an MBA so that i can learn about every single perspective for business. MBA will help me to
broaden my skill set. For me to be a better manager I should know the finances of the business work. I
should know how the marketing, sales of the business as well as logistics and operations works and I can
get all this knowledge through MBA. An MBA will give me the theoretical knowledge as well as practical
exposure about Brand stratergy, marketing, sales by making me do a lot of case study solving,
presentation, live projects and internships at the B-school.
