I failed CAT in 2013.
I took CAT in my final year of undergrad because my father wanted me to!
My heart was not into it and I failed miserably.
I didn't get a call from any of the IIMs!
Later, I realized I picked a battle where the cards were stacked against my skills.
I picked hashtag#GMAT.
Today, I proudly share how it took me 3 attempts to get my GMAT right!
I am a live example of getting my hashtag#career sorted even after having a hard time with exams.
But, my journey with hashtag#MBA admissions made me realize how exams and coaching culture are overhyped in India.
Here is why-
1. As someone who worked in highly intellectual ecosystems such as Boston Consulting Group (BCG), I realized you don't need a 99.9 percentile to be working and thriving in such ecosystems.
2. Nassim Taleb once famously said, "I suspect I.Q., SAT, and grades are hashtag#tests designed by nerds so they can get high scores in order to call each other intelligent".
3. Yesterday, a record 3.3 Lakh students appeared for hashtag#CAT 2023.
Interestingly only 5500 will get a seat in IIMs.
On the one hand, we will congratulate these students for their hard work and success.
On the other hand, should we really feel happy about it?
Just think about it- only 1.5% of folks will get to study business from the top league in India.
Frustrated with the age-old system, Naman and I co-started Global Governance Initiative Alternative to International MBA, where top CEOs from McKinsey & Company, BCG, Blackrock, and Amazon teach in Harvard case method; with employment support.
My fight is against a system that treats professionals like racehorses whose job is to win a race.
You get one life.
Choose well how you wish to live it ❤️.
