“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you never cease to grow.” My journey at Symbiosis Institute of Operations Management (SIOM) has been a learning curve throughout. I was working in logistics domain for a client in TCS where I developed an interest in Operations. This was when I decided to pursue an MBA in Operations. SIOM ticked all the boxes, with its industry-oriented curriculum, SAP modules, KPMG Six Sigma Green Belt program, CAPSTONE simulations to name a few. SIOM has established itself as a niche business school in India for Operations.

Although many of us have been in business for quite some time, we mostly remain in our narrow silos of managing operations and sometimes have a skewed vision of business and the world around us. The course in SIOM not only offers excellent learning opportunity in all aspects of business but at the same time we get exposed to various new practices that are being innovated or adapted in the industry. Right from supply chain management to world class manufacturing and be it in financial background. We also get the opportunity of learning from our peers from different industries and having varied backgrounds. The faculty from the institute have enriched our journey of learning by virtue of their experience and excellence.As a management student I realized during the placement activities in our college that, academic knowledge alone wouldn't help you in cracking an interview.

The rigorous aptitude and training activities in our college and special placement training helped me in meeting my goals. I have enjoyed my stay in SIOM, which I would like to wrap as a perfect blend of studies, sports, cultural and social activities.

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard”. Well, this is the principle I’ve been fed on since childhood. SIOM has been very beneficial to me in terms of pursuing my dreams as it is the best in Operations among others b-schools in the country. This is undoubtedly the best place to boost one’s career as its curriculum is purely industry oriented, well organized and structured with tools, certifications, 6 sigma projects, guest lectures and not to forget to mention the thought leading faculty, the interactions with industry people, the learning of various skills, ethics and abilities.

Life in SIOM in itself is very challenging, with continuous evaluation of assignments, case studies, presentations, technical and cultural events. Managing all the said, along with enjoying time with friends is a daily affair for a student. By the end of graduation, SIOM will equip me with various business tools, techniques and confidence to accelerate my career. Every day is a new learning experience for me and I’m grateful to SIOM for continuously pushing me towards my aspirations and goals.
