You have a great story, this is the reason I would have gone to a good B school but I didn't know it back when I was prepping for CAT. My coaching teachers made me memorize the answer to the question, "why MBA?", an answer that wasn't mine. That day I decided to drop out until someday when I would have a good enough reason to pursue this. I feel a lot of youngsters today are like my past self, singing up for MBA for all the wrong reasons. If I ever decide to pursue it again (I really don't know if I will), it will be because I want to spend time with people from diverse backgrounds, people who are better than me in a lot of ways and grow alongside them. It's really amazing that you knew your reasons right from the beginning. 😀

What a great video, Ankur! Honest and straightforward insights like these are much needed.

"Confused people go for a MBA"!🔥😂 felt so relatable

Ankur fills me with such positivity, I can’t explain it but it’s there.

Mr A to W , how did you read my mind every time man 🥺. Kaise pata chalta he aapko ki ye video ab post karni chahiye . Thanks man ❤️

You may have gone to ISB when it was new but kids today kind of associate the school with you. I do a lot of mentor ship sessions helping people figure out their mba school, journey etc. And ISB is mostly - oh the school Ankur Warikoo went to :) Also I still remember having a short chat with you when I was applying to ISB in 2014 and u were kind enough to share your wisdom with an absolute stranger like me :) Thanks for all that you do!

When you started deserve something, you stop learning, you stop growing... Best lines... Deep...

Couldn't have found better thing in the Internet today. Thankyou for sharing your experience, Ankur ✨

This one line from the video struck me. The minute we think we deserve something we stop learning. That's dangerously true. I needed to hear that. Thank you sir

Me as a 26 year old confused guy who did engineering because I was good in science and technology but was not enjoying it after doing it made me realise something was off and I didn't know what I love to do what makes me happy untill one fine day I decided to get into a B school and get into marketing or Business Analytics and the very same day I see your video in recommendation, wow!

Great sir, totally great! I can realize it right now! I have completed my MBA this year! 15 Lakh ka loan and 11 LPA ka job! And this not so good when compared with others! But the experience, learning, confidence & of course the network that I got right now, is huge! I can totally relate to that! And I am even open to sharing that knowledge with anyone who wanna aspire for MBA! Please do connect to me in case of any guidance!

The "5 things I did at ISB" bit is absolute gold! Valid for every walk of life

So now i have your 40 y/o experience while being 19 :)

I like the quote " if we are spending time people like us ,we are not learning something new .We are just becoming a bigger version of who we are , not a better version of who we are " 💯❤️

I don't know but being a confused soul listing to your experience actually makes me happy

"what you are good at and what makes you happy could be entirely two different things" this one statement is the answer to all my question that i keep asking myself...

I was learning my language lesson and just jumped here. Things you mentioned was relatable. Having conversation with different people gives you lot of insight.🎈

"confused people do mba " , i am living that right now :)

The way he approached to imagine salary after graduation is exactly how I imagine, always look for the lowest salary offered and imagine I am the one getting it and then plan the next transactions, so that's a relief that I am not the only crazy one.

Flat out one of the best from you, that I’ve heard, Ankur. The struggle, the difficulty, the confusion, the decision making, the financial implications of it, every single thing has been so beautifully highlighted. I’m mid way through my career, about to start out, on an ISB MBA program, and this video nails the topic heads on. You’re an inspiration, Ankur. Keep it going! 👏

So much relatable to my MTech journey.. I feel it doesn't matter if it's MBA or MTech or anything, the basic principles & work ethics remains the same.. and what you have beautifully put in the end, people should approach it as a transformational journey than a transactional deal..

My Dilemma cleared in last 10 minutes. Thanks for the video. This helped me to make my decision today.

One of the very few people spreading positivity, genuinely

The five things you mentioned, gave me goosebumps ! It's like an elder brother offering some life hacks. Thank yiu so much Ankur.. Bless you.!

First of all thank you so much sir for sharing such a lovely experience and it is actually going to help me further in my MBA life. Hopefully 😅🤞🏽

Hi Ankur! I will be joining my B-school in July and the timing of your video is just brilliant. Really enjoyed how naturally and candidly you explained your experience

"We are just getting a bigger version of who we are not the better version of who we are" this line really hit me hard sir thank u so much keep making such videos !!!

Your saying got me today my golden word : If you have a way of managing worst case scenario, you have the way to manage everything.

The way you articulate your thoughts Ankur, AMAZING. Would need some practical tips on how to develop this skill! :D

We want Ankur Warikoo podcast sharing his life journey and experiences to learn.

I'm waiting to see this KZfaq channel in top KZfaqrs list.

Your mba experience made me more confident about the thing that I should go for an full time 2 year top mba program, because I m right now in 1st of year of my Undergrad. Thanks for sharing with us your mba experience.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was waiting for this🙂, i am also planning to go to isb just because i love the rush and 1 year MBA is gonna be a good thrilling adventure.

Answers so many of my questions without even asking, thanks Ankur. More power to you and the content you share. 🍻

Being an MBA I can relate to the points you covered, but probably the best video from your side...it is a motivating one and filled with positivity...

Ankur, I am someone who is dropping out of a PhD program in Physics to pursue my interest in data science. I follow your videos but just got to know that we have same background. Not that I have taken inspiration for quitting but thanks for the reassurance ❤️.

I feel so connected with your video ...I am recent Mba graduate ...working at TCS.......your story replicates with mine one .....Thank you for your KZfaq sessions...feeling more connected with warikoo

You are phenomenal, Ankur. This video is an absolute gold mine. Thank you for sharing the truth, the way things should be. It was a real pleasure listening to you. I never really realized that 16 minutes can have this impact to my thought process. The mental model that you possess is quintessential for every young mind who is about to start off for making his/her life. Signing off with that splendid of yours was the best epilogue I ever sensed. Thank you!!!

I am going to do an mba next year, hopefully. And I have a much better perspective than I had earlier, Thanks to you :).

I can relate to your story. I am going through the MBA, I am in a three-year program and I graduate next year. The experience has forever changed me and opened my eyes to areas I didn't even know about yet affect us in our everyday lives. I don't know what the future holds but I am excited about it.

This is so so inspiring... I cudnt get to this dream college but all i can say now is i m very happy after listening to you...so much positivity. Your mindset teaches us so much... Thank u and keep up the good work... Lot of love to u... 🥰

This reminds of my choice of program which I never heard of in my engineering. Maters in Supply Chain Management. But after 1.5 years I have understood that I have not only learnt what my subject is but helped me evolve as a more intellectual individual, at least that's what I think of myself, and finally recently got an internship in the field I tried for a long time. Just happy that I have been able to relate with every video you make, and somewhat in a very small percentage I have kind of a same path.. Just hope I do something great as you with all your guidance and blessings. ❤️🙏🏻 Warikoo Sir, As Always OP

This clears my tiny little doubt before entering into a B school. Thank you for sharing this with us💗

Love the way you express and put things into prospective.

Just applied for their deferred program! Results for the stage 1 are coming next week man. I am anxious.

Your intro music is the bestttttt I have seen

I wish I had seen this video before. My son graduates from ISB Hyd today. I do hope he too has has these wonderful experiences that you talk of. Unfortunately, due to the covid restrictions, we cannot be there with him today.

So true what you said at 7:07 that there's so much to learn and so much to explore in your MBA journey. I had a similar experience when I went for an MBA program at IIM Rohtak. 15:22 I agree with what you said "If you take it as a transaction, it will be just that, while if you look at it as a life experience, then that can change your life". And, the best one 13:25, "If you have a way of managing the worst case scenario, you have a way of managing everything".

Thank you for this. ❤️ It is a tough decision to do an MBA today as a middle class person. Your words about worst case scenario helped me.

Wow.. We are so lucky to hear to this. Thanks Ankur sir.. You are gold!!!!

so glad to hear your ISB story Ankur...your voice is so articulate and pitch-perfect

Sir, That last point of the worst case scenario which you mentioned is mainly influenced by the external factors like friends, society etc. This is something which I also faced before starting my MBA as I am not from a top B school but as you said that you should have confidence to reach the level. Really Inspiring video and very much relatable 👍

Hey Ankur! I watch all your stuff, including the new short podcast bytes. So excited to see you talk about ISB in detail! I will be joining ISB in a couple of months (batch of 2022), so thank you for the gyaan! Noted! ♥️

You are such a genuine person! Thank you for sharing your experience!

WoW one of the best experience sharing video I have ever seen on any platform. Thanks for such a beautiful video Mr.Ankur Warikoo ☺️. You are really doing a great Job!

You always guide me and inspire me sir

Yeaahhhh man you back you are hope, hope that everything will be fine.

I have saved a crore without going to college before I am 35 so making money shud not be reason to go to college. Network was right reason.

I was very confused about Doing MBA .... But God Sent That Warikoo Brahmastra in my recommendations ❤️

TQ ❤️ for your words sir, i really planned to go abroad to study but now i will definitely go there and learn more valuable lessons that which can make my life better.

Paid loan for 9 years . Bhai itna patience!! ❤ Changed my mindset about loan leke padhai Karo , and don't go for transaction,go for learning 🙌

The Point #5 that you've mentioned is something I always believe in and follow in my life. To get through the hard times.

When you have reliable strategies bitcoin trading becomes very easy and profitable, most times the amount of profits you make depends on the trader managing your portfolio

Thank you so much. The way u think it's incredible. Always listening to u give me a new perspective 😊

Sir, you speak so well and the way you sign off is so soothing to listen to. Sir, I'm a final year engineering student and I'm unable to secure a job till now. A part of me wants to go for an MBA degree in Human Resources, but somewhere I also feel it's high time I start earning money as I don't want to be a financial liability on my parents any longer. I've always wanted to go for an MBA degree in human resources and now I feel that once I start earning money, I won't be able to study as I do now. Sir, I could relate to your video because even I feel clueless about what I should be doing right now or who I should be talking to so that I get a clear picture of my life. I will be obliged if you could guide me at this point in my life.

You give better and more practical life advices than any Sadhguru or monk out there 🙌

You and your videos are spoiling me for Life. You give me hope. Thanks, Ankur

Your kind words really motivated me to choose the correct decision for my MBA. I was in a dilemma for a while. Thanks a lot. :)

Genuinely great video! Thanks Ankur, for putting this up here.

Ankur Warikoo!!!! The best thing that happened to me on KZfaq.......

Thank you for this AW.

Great approach sir, solved a lot of issues I had in mind. Kudos to you.

I am considering to apply for B schools and this video helps a lot. Thank you. I was convinced at "confused people go for MBA"😂

Hey Ankur, someone has made a copy of your yt account and is spamming commercial ads here. Some people might get scammed thinking its you.

Finally it's here... Thank you so much sir for making this on request. ❤

I think the students at ISB are more entitled. I went to recruit at ISB and IIM Indore. The candidates at IIM Indore were more humble, talented and waiting for challenges compared to ISB mohali. Compared to IIM it is still a rich kid school .

i have been following u since nearbuy was in news because of its offers and amazing idea. Always something to learn from your writeups, blogs,linkedin posts. Thank you for being so inspirational.

Wow.. You are a great guy who spks all from heart no flashy jargons or corporate cosmetics.

I Love you Ankur sir. I felt it was me talking and sharing experience with myself. You are such a humble and best story teller person. I am already following your path. Please make more videos based on your life experiences. Thank You sir & God bless you.

This is the bestest video i have ever seen across ...So raw and true......

Most important and relatable part of this video 2:55 ☺️

Hanging out with people who are different from us is a great idea 💡

Thanks from the bottom of my heart

Every daam statement, I felt connected.

Ankur - you are a very good human being i must say, thanks for sharing your experience.

I see a fake Warikoo account spamming in a lot of comments. Please make sure to report that account. The original account will have a check mark in the comments.

When you say you spent time with people who are nothing like you, how do you manage it ? How did you break the ice ?

Being happy and being good at something are two different things.Well said.

Hey Warikoo, I really needed this video rn, thanks 💯

I really like your videos and believe me it make your time worth watching. But this video which you made, I can’t thank you enough for this video. It co-incidentally hit me where i wanted. The topic on which you talked about is one of my dream, and i was loosing the sight of it during the journey. Thank you so much for this video. I will keep this video in my safe box for future reference. Thank You So much.

Your videos are so inspirational that made me a great fan of yours..I am never missing any of ur videos these days...pls continue sharing your useful experiences which wil help us grow personally n professionally...truly thanks

Wow. Got to learn so much from this video. Loved your wisdom and take on mba. Thanks a lot.

You made me learn a new word today - serendipitously 3:20 👍😅

I'm not good at physics but it makes me happy 🙃

Really good when u described your experience in bullets. It clearly highlighted the take aways.

Sir but due to this covid situation, it might not be that effective as it used to be during normal offline classes. Because there is little chance that you communicate freely as it used to be during offline classes. Well, thank you so much for sharing your journey.😇

at the age of 17 i am having this type of content to watch out literally it will help me a lot thanku ankur sir💕💕

Always on point 👍 @Ankur Wakrioo inspiration ❤️

Always watch this channel at 1.25x for the best experience.

Sir, You have helped me with a fresh perspective. I was in two minds if dng an mba would be a good idea . I am now having clarity and i believe this is what i want now and that an mba is going to help me . Thank u soo much
