THE INTERVIEW

An Interview with Mr.Abhay Kapoor

Ques: How a student pursuing MBA from Commerce Stream differ from one of Science Stream?

Answer: I don't think there is hardly any difference when we are hiring a MBA. We don't look for the basic qualification rather we look for kind of attitude required for the organization. In the manufacturing field there is no difference but yes for centralized industry such as pharma industry a MBA with biological background will be preferable.

Ques:Anything you would like to say about your path of success?

Answer: "HARD WORK, HARD WORK & HARD WORK ". I don't know any other way of success. A person who says that success can be achieved through smart work, need to know that without hard work one cannot do smart work.Even to become smarter you have to do hard work.  You have to continuously upgrade your knowledge.

Ques: Any comment on politics inside an institute?

Answer: I don't believe in such habits. Instead of dealing with politics I prefer to close my eyes.

Ques: How was your visit at ABV-IIITM?

Answer: It was quite good. This is a very unique institute and I hope for the better future of the students of the institute.
