So, this will create an impact.Also we should try and reach out to different colleges in Kolkata.We can have certain events planned out across top b- schools.To be honest, I am not very inclined towards finance as of now. The basic understanding that you gain and the first impression that you make; in my case its a little negative.But the fact is I would like to challenge myself and I think I can write well. The topics that we were supposed to write an article were very interesting. Being a little self centered, this would bring the best out of me.I brought almost every medicine from home and I have a little knowledge about which medicine to take when. Owing to the fact that my parents are doctor, I also helped my friends with certain medical issues that could be solved over phone.Also, I am usually the one in who wakes up early and makes sure that everybody gets up.And not to mention we all have helped each other during assignments and deadlines.The article on Fund Raising in e-commerce industry by Kumar Gaurav and Parth Potdar was good because it is a hot topic and as a new comer into this MBA world, it did not require much technical knowledge.As i earlier mentioned, I am not very good in finance but I would like to challenge myself.

I feel that equity research section of the magazine lacks a technical analysis portion which I think I can supplement it with.Before coming to IIFT, I was the one who created the waitlist tracker for IIFT's admission on pagalguy. This took out some on the pent up anxiety among the students regarding the results and admission.My favorite article in InFINeeti has been the one on "Capital Account Convertibility: To be or not To be" by Adhiraj Bandyopadhyay. The article give us a 360 view about what capital account convertibility is and what are its implications. It has also discussed the scenarios in countries other than India where such measures were taken. All in all I founded it to be an all rounded article.Finance according to me is the core of any business or for that matter survival. It is the one of the first few resources in the list that is needed to be present for any project to start.Finance opposite to many people's belief, that it is boring, is actually very interesting. It continues to throw complex puzzles at you which makes you think.According to me it is one of the most logical and objective stream in the MBA curriculum.98711491547/24/2015 18:49:55Shubhodhay Reddy47KAWas part of Organizing Committee for the cultural festival 'Kuruksastra' in my University. My task was to promote about the events in various colleges in the vicinity.Editors are the ones who should own the responsibility of the magazine. The content published may be old but when a person reads through the magazine, he will be presented months of news at a glance in just one day at one go. Content in the magazine is crucial as it would be in front of reader for full time unlike news in channels. So it is Editors task to personally proofread every article rather than hand it to PA or subordinate to do it. In the end he must ensure that circulation is done effectively so that it must reach everyone. Make quizzes and crosswords printed on the magazine in a page not only Finance but also related to marketing and other verticals, so that it can pull their interest. As we phenomenal Alumni, a guest column from one of them who belong to Finance industry on a relevant topic would enthuse the readers.When we read a business or entertainment or sports magazine our main interest in it will be to know things going around us. Being a member of InFINeeti Team, helps me to learn about the news and latest updates from the minute of things to the trending news. Collecting articles from various sources and analyzing them helps me to gain knowledge about the unknown. InFINeeti gives that opportunity to be one of such kind.Worked in teams for the assignments we were given and apart from sharing PPTs, there is nothing significant I can mention.

My favorite article is in the New Year edition about the fall in Crude Prices: Repercussions for India by Gudimetla Sandeep. The article gave a clear view about the effects of fall in prices; he significantly explains both macro and micro economic effects of the price fall in charts and tables. Pictorial depiction of WPI, Petrol and other liquid consumption provides us the trend of the market. The domestic and foreign institutional investors fund flow has been dealt clearly.My love for Mathematics made the first impression that I should go for Finance. But there is lot more to learn and establish my knowledge on Finance.98747045767/24/2015 19:38:58Pratik Chakraborty82KBI have not held any PORs in college or workplace per se.

Besides, the editors should keep an inclusive mindset to accommodate varying opinions and be able to touch the pulse of the college in mitigating differences and encouraging harmony.- I would try to spread its reach through social media platforms and focus on intensive promotion of the InFINeeti pages. - I would try to spread the word to my old Alma Matter to further expand the accessibilty of the magazine, considering from thereon, the magazine would have enough intrinsic quality to reach out on its own.Team InFINeeti brings with it a sense of pride and prestige. IIFT is represented in a big way through the outstanding write-ups that the students contribute to the magazine which helps to expand the knowledge base and keep one abreast of the latest happenings in the Finance World through extensive critiques. Hence, it goes without saying, that the motivation to join Team InFineeti is very high as I would like to grow with the magazine and help my batchmates for the same.I have been proactive enough to reach out to as many people as I could since coming here. Being a localite, I introduced them to the nuances of the Bengali culture and gave them an overview of the day-to-day hustle and bustle of the city. So, I have been able to extend my support in a cross-cultural capacity as I have spent my childhood in North India and that helped in socializing with my batchmates.My favourite article is 'The Next reserve Currency' from the January 2015 edition as it cleared my understanding of the need for a Reserve currency and helped me to develop the viewpoint that a Reserve Currency was much more than a show of strength in the International scene to flex muscles and command market dominance. The shock-absorption need of the Reserve Currency especially opened my mind up as I had a very insular mindset about Reserve Currency till that point.Finance deals with nitty-gritties of economic policies be it monetary or fiscal and the day-to-day analysis of the implications of the policies drive me to delve deeper into the concepts of finance to develop a deeper understanding.96819736047/24/2015 19:49:52Janaswamy Sravan19KAI worked as a cultural coordinator for my college's(IIITDM K)annual techno-cultural fest, Samgatha.

Was a student representative at the "Institute Sports Council" for the year 2014-15.There is always a misconception that the role of a magazine editor is not more than correcting the spelling and grammatical mistakes.The editor along with his colleagues work to finalize the stories and their content.Some editors also write articles in their magazine.As magazines are not released regularly unlike the newspapers, the choice of articles that targets their readers is very important.Editors provide contributors with guidelines on the content they need and give them schedules for completing their work.> Make sure that the InFINeeti FB page is very active with regular updates.> Having columns written by alumni of various B-Schools so that the students will understand what it means to work in corporate world in the future.> Conducting national level finance competitions through InFINeeti where students from all B-Schools participate.> Giving InFINeeti copies to various industry heads who come to our college for delivering Guest lectures etc.I always had a slight inclination towards finance.I would like to learn as much as I can in the field of finance.I believe the best way to do this is to join InFINeeti. Because, this would act as a trigger for me to start reading and analysing more about the happenings in the world of finance.In addition to this, during my college, I was part of the informal newsletter, "The Other One".But as I was a sports as well as a cultural coordinator I couldn't continue with the team for a long time though I really wanted to.So, with InFINeeti I believe I can fulfill both my wishes and also help myself to reach out to a wider audience.To be honest, I found very few opportunities to help others of my batch as it has just been around 3-4 weeks since we came here.I often make sure that friends in my floor wake up early and reach class and yoga on time.Being a sportsman,I am usually a team player and love helping others.There were several articles I liked in the InFINeeti's January edition, but there were a couple of them that really stood out.The first of them was the article on China Slowdown written by Sai Bharath and Aditya Chitta. This article clearly explained the reasons behind the slowing down and also its impact on India's imports and exports.The second one that I like was "Growth vs Taming the Inflation", which was written by a couple of students from NMIMS. It gave us a very good picture of both poltical as well as RBI's perspective and how it is important to achieve a balance with a high growth and low inflation.I always had a natural liking towards maths and analysis right from my childhood. In the recent years, as I came to know more about stock markets etc. I understood that this is where I really wanted to see myself. Finance is one field that is very essential for every person in the world whether it is a daily wage labour or the richest man on the planet because he should know where and how should he invest his money in order to make it profitable.83369708277/24/2015 20:10:37Rashi Bablani85KBIn college, my colleagues and I started a magazine named "Limelight" which provided details about various events happening across Delhi University. We had a team of five interns each in different colleges who provided information about various events in their respective colleges. I was responsible for managing the teams of interns and consequently, the editorial of the magazine.The position of an editor would require creativity, good writing skills and an ability to select the data consistent with the theme of the magazine. According to me, key activities may include research, fact check, suggesting content additions or changes and of course, writing articles!Launch a digital marketing campaign through the Facebook page of InFINeeti. The various action points of the campaign would include: The Finance enthusiasts would be invited to participate in the campaign by liking the page and thereby getting an access to the various competitions launched online. Finance based games, fun events, quiz etc may be launched on the page. A tracker keeping record of high scorers can be displayed on the page. Further, we can involve the audience to design the front page for InFINeetis next issue. The best entry may be rewarded.

Through this we can increase the reach of the magazine. Further, when the readers themselves design the page, it will also increase the readability of the magazine. The two reasons why I want to join InFINeeti are as follows:

1) Passion for writing: I like to pen down my thoughts in form of articles or poems. Further, I have also had an experience of content writing in Smilyo and my startup magazine.

2) Finance enthusiast: I like to read and analyse various financial concepts. I feel that if provided this opportunity, I would be able to deepen my knowledge about finance and at the same time contribute to the development of InFINeeti.Being a commerce graduate I have a prior knowledge of accountancy. Since most of my batch consists of engineers, the subject is relatively new to them. So whenever my batch-mates face some problems, I try to help them by explaining the concept involved. Through this, we all are able to learn together.My favourite article was "End of QE Tapering:Challenges for the world economy" by Prateek Keshwani and Aniket Kumar. I liked the article because it explained the concept of QE in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. It also provided the information in a holistic manner by covering the impact on the world economy.My first encounter with finance was in the form of a journal entry! At that time, the only thing I knew about finance was accountancy. As I delved deeper into the subject, I was intrigued to see how important even a minute transaction was. How a percent drop in interest rate could shake the economies of the world! This is how Finance captured my interest.97111156747/24/2015 20:18:01Sai Pavan Eswarapragada40KA- Member of Core Committee and organizer for General Quiz event in 'Ciencia-2K11'- Head of cultural committee at GlobalView, ADP Pvt LTD- Magazine editor should be able to decide the relevance of the article to be published in the present scenario- Controversial and personal views have to be detected and if needed must be able to eliminate them.- Should be good at research to detect plagiarism.- Finally should have good knowledge of grammar and words- To include a sports section into the magazine covering all the latest financial deals in sports.- An educative article on basics of financial markets, how to invest for beginners and articles explaining complex financial jargon - Quizzes and games like identify the logo and related news and famous personalities will generate more interest among students.This magazine contains articles by students and it presents a simplistic approach to complex financial news. It contains a perfect mix of articles on latest news and analysis of a topic which i feel i can contribute to it as well. The team has been proactive in increasing the reach of brand IIFT and i would like to continue this tradition. I like putting my thoughts into words and also like to gain more financial knowledge and what's better than infineeti where i can have the best of both worlds.- Helped my batch mates who are not familiar with Hindi in getting accustomed to the language- Being a Cse graduate i helped my batch mates in creating presentationsI liked the article "RBI rate cut: An Ideal Time?". The way this article is presented in really good. It started by stating the current position of the market and rates. Then goes on to explain the govt stand on the issue, role of RBI in this and highlights necessary facts like comparing inflation among Asian countries. Then it goes on to tell how monetary and fiscal policy should be synchronized and they also present their opinion based on facts and analysis. Finally it ends on a positive note appreciating Mr Rajan for his work.Although i have no work experience in this domain, i am inclined to this subject as this has every day use. Right from managing my own money, finance helps me understand and make decisions like handling savings and investments in future as well. After working for 3 years i feel i could have increased my money with more financial knowledge. I now understand the articles in newspapers better as i get more familiarized with finance. This process of unlearning and learning is very exciting for me and i wish to continue this.91606789137/24/2015 20:50:13Vaibhav Agarwal52KAIn my college, i was the overall coordinator for the 2nd year at the Literary Club. The role was largely related to organizing club events and communicating the activities of the club. It was a great learning experience as I got a chance to coordinate with the senior members as well as junior members of the club.A magazine editor most importantly must be aware about the latest events and news related to the area of focus of the magazine. Also, the writing skills as well as the editing skills should be good. Crowd sourcing ideas and articles from the colleges is another important role.- First of all I would urge the IIFT students to go through the magazine by holding a session and describing the usefulness of its content.- I would maintain a vibrant and active social media footprint.- Giving teasers on the website as well as blog.- Involve a special section for finance enthusiasts who want to understand the field through easy and simple words and explanations.After going through some of the articles from the last Infineeti magazine edition I was very much interested to be associated with it in some way. In the recent call for articles, I even paired up with one of my batchmate and wrote an article for the magazine. Being a part of Team Infineeti I would be able to have further understanding of the subject.I, as well as the batch on the whole has been trying to help each other by being efficient and effective in each of the assigned work. Also, in each of the group assignments that have been given by either the faculties or by the seniors, I've tried my best to deliver regularity, discipline, time management and individual involvement towards the task. Though in an indirect manner, but this is how I believe I have played my role in helping everyone.Fall in Crude Prices: Repercussions for India.The article fully explains a current aspect of world economy and the impact it has on India. The use of charts and graphs to explain the present and forecast the future trend made the reading all the more interesting and understandable.Being a technology grad Finance is a subject which I've never been through in entire life. Before attending classes related to Finance and Accounting, I was apprehensive about the subject. Now, though I've just had few sessions on the basics of the field, I've started to develop a liking towards it. Also, I realize that Finance is a field which is incorporated in each and every sector, and thus there's a vast range of application part in Finance.97604926727/24/2015 20:59:25Prateek Gupta30KADuring the support and maintenance phase of a project being handled by our company I lead a team of three wherein we solved real time critical requests and set up new systems. We also hosted workshops and training sessions for the client employee base so as to equip them with the requisite knowledge.While working at my last organization, I was responsible for gathering business requirement from client team and to suggest improvement to existing systems or if need be then develop and deliver new solution systems.The main focus of the editor should always be the reader of the magazine.The primary responsibility is to never let the quality of the magazine falter; instead the editor must ascertain constant improvement to the magazine.A key role that the editor plays is that of making sure that the magazine and articles published in it stay relevant to the times and readers interest. It is critical to bring in different perspectives on a subject and to do so an editor must invite external articles and contribution as well.As a member of the IIFT family promotion of institute and showcasing the talent and skill of the students should be of critical concern to the editor.Including challenges and puzzles of higher difficulty levels and including names of winners in subsequent editions is one method to increase interest in the magazine. This can be extended on a national level as well.At times the sheer length of an article can be off-putting. Therefore, putting up a few lines of the articles on twitter can bring in more readers. Reading a small tweet would raise interest after which a person would wish to read the entire article.There are two reasons to this question. Firstly, having never thought about finance as a career option I had suddenly developed a keen interest for it. Now I wish to gain the maximum knowledge about this subject. Secondly, being an introvert I have valued to power of written communication since childhood. I believe that if expressed properly then it is the most powerful medium. For me this would be the best way in which I would be able to grasp the basics of finance and economics. Having to do extensive research, moving beyond the subjects and textbooks into the real world would give me a holistic view about this domain.Having an IT related background I saw that many people were struggling with many Microsoft office related issues. I have tried my best to help people get a grasp over excel concepts that enabled them to perform accounting calculations and tracking related activities easily. Also formatting of CVs, EOIs and other documents was a pain point for many which I helped solved as much as I could.The article China Slowdown: Effects On Indian Economy by U Sai Bharath and Aditya Chitta connected well with me, mostly because of its simplicity. A slowdown of the Chinese machinery might be thought of as a good sign for the Indian economy especially since China is its main adversary in trade but the article served to debunk that misconception. It revealed staggering figures of how many Indian industries depend on exports to China and how a slowdown there would offset any advantage India may possess in other sectors. It also explored the reasons behind this, primary of which were the high export duties. Towards the end it did present positive prospects for the future, especially if India got it Make in India act right.Finance was a subject I always thought of as drab and boring. That was mostly because of my ignorance. This myth was shattered when I experienced it first hand during my engineering. Simple maths resulting in huge profits, concepts of leverage, the zero sum game, microeconomic which could be felt at the ground level and the macroeconomic concepts which affect us without us even realizing created a passion in me towards this field as a whole.How companys operated on the basis of finance could be seen in real life and its basic principles were at the core of every decision. The beginning till the end and all throughout its life are affected by the concepts of finance. Every aspect of this can be seen in practice. This is the force which drives growth of nations.In the end it was almost impossible for me to not be enthusiastic about this subject.83369707917/24/2015 21:13:41Akarsh Goyal4KA Headed the Hospitality and Documentation Committees in my annual college festival (UURJA) in 2012.

I would like to pursue my majors in finance and also plan to appear for CFA Level1 this December.77559234327/24/2015 21:28:47Trinadh Teja Cheepurupalli48KADuring my college days I was the coordinator for NSS for my department and this position required me acting as a link between the faculty coordinator and the students and take care of organizing the events.In my opinion the primary role of a magazine editor would be to take care of the quality of the content that is published by the magazine but there a re many other important roles like deciding the important areas to cover and focus on in the edition of the magazine, making sure that the magazine is properly marketed and that people show interest not only in reading the magazine but also in contributing for the magazine.If selected as the as the junior edito rof InFINity I would try to increase the readability and the readership of the magazine by

The analogy taken of Nehru & Modi era with Current Bengal & Gujarat model of economics is truely fantastic.The opinion formed in the article was not biased and properly substantiated with facts and figures.The example of Growth in Bihar state leaves us thinking about the true ideology that could best fit for India.It provides a food for thought to not follow any leader or ideology blindly rather look for complete picture with greater good of the country as whole.

While reviewing he can take care of: removing typos and grammatical errors; rewriting sentences to make them flow better; organizing content; removing unnecessary information. He can also contact the contributor to ask for more information if required.4) So as to begin composing a new article, the editor dissects readership surveys and comments from readers to identify topics that will appeal.5) The editor should also take initiative to promote the magazine so that he can reach out to as many people as possible.If selected as a junior editor of InFINeeti, I would take the following initiatives: 1) I can publish it on social networking webites like facebook. I can create a facebook fan page and get people to that page.2) Publish it on LinkedIn. People on my network can share it with their friends on LinkedIn.3) I can also use Quora and SlideShare to reach a large audience.4) Conduct inter-college competitions where teams from all over India can participate.5) Conduct online competitions like debate.I am keen to join Team InFINeeti. It will provide me a platform not only to improve my knowledge in finance but also to connect with student committees from institutes across India and the corporate world to facilitate knowledge sharing and learning. Apart from the learning aspect, I would get a chance to promote our magazine across all top B-Schools in India. Being an editor, I will make sure that all articles are reviewed extensively to avoid any error whatsoever. Through our magazine we are not just providing business, finance and economics related information, but we are building Brand IIFT.

Apart from that, I share my notes with him and help him whenever he requires my help.My favorite article in InFINeeti's January 2015 edition is 'CHINA SLOWDOWN: EFFECTS ON INDIAN ECONOMY' written by U. Sai Bharath and Aditya Chitta.

The article has been written extremely well. It starts by stating the importance of China's economy on World Economy. Then it talks about the reasons for slowdown of the Chinese Economy and its impact on India and finally drills down further into the impact its going to have on India's exports and import's with China. Finally it asks whether India can compete with China. The answer is yes it can only if the 'Make in India campaign is successful'. Coherence of thoughts, nicely articulated ideas and a well structured approach is what describes this article.Finance is all about number crunching and application of logic. A person should have good inquisitive skills and a strong mathematical aptitude. Coming from an IT background, I have always had that knack of solving logical and analytical problems.

To attract the necessary concept , editor need to think about the contemporary issues to make a theme of the edition. needless to say, interest in finance background is must to think on a broader perspective to reach out the content writer's idea. Updating the information on new happenings in socio-political world which can ultimately effect the economic prospects of country or region is needed. The intuitive judgement capability and knowledge assessment clarity are needed to be a editor.- first, the readability should improve from the batch itself. many were neither interested to download the whole magazine nor interested to go through the full article due to different interests and time paucity. we need to make hyper links of each articles so that interested can read that topic alone

- We can float poster competitions which consume less time to allocate and thus can attract more participants who refrain themselves from writing articles , may be due to bad writing skills.

- content is king, whatever we do - If we keep the bars up regarding content, may it take some time but its reach is a promised way.I've tried in my college to form a department magazine but due to faculty restrictions I couldn't make it after preparing the final draft - Illuminate (which is still with me).

That inner intent is still in me to be a part of magazine editorial team .Coming to the today's JE position, I'm a finance enthusiast and being a JE can help me in reading more content and with my skills I can help in reaching conceptually good articles.

I didn't get much chance, but I think I can help the batch in the near future in all the ways I can.my favourite article in the last edition is Financial Inclusion in India: All talk, no action ? by Roshan P R , NMIMS

Though the content in all the articles are at sublime capacity, this article seems interested to me as it answers all my questions from the day rapid financial inclusion chipped in.

Article is crisp and clean without much verbose and it gave worldwide perception of savings and how huge Indian illiterate population can really cope up to the changes that are new to the large set of populace.Money played an interesting rather than important role in me. From the days , I've changed my perception from finance is just money & vice versa.It actually drive individual behaviors and will collapses many.

I've seen days I splurge money and I know the days I've counted each penny. These small instances make me enthusiastic in knowing deep and deep of the finance stream. the numbers fascinates me rather than the verbatim by many. how the countries , communities change their course of pattern being in financial trap is one good interest to me.

although, as of now I'm more well versed with qualitative analysis my peers available - I can work on qualitative patterns to come to close conclusions.

I will learn under the guidance of Senior editors and take full ownership of activities/tasks assigned to me. Arranging knowledge transfer sessions, getting good content for the magazine and the newsletters are some of the prime activities that will be expected. Innovation lies at the heart of success. As the junior editor,I would constantly try to innovate , think of new ways to induce a fresh feel in every edition and take the magazine to new heights-A monthly Finance funsheet which will have crosswords , tit-bits, news of the month, 2 or 3 quiz questions all in one sheet. The solutions of the crosswords and quiz questions of an edition will be present in the next edition

For the non Star-Wars crowd,I would like to explain the character of a Jedi.Service. You have to devote yourself to the cause. You have to treat it as your own. Take full responsibility and ownershipHunger. By hunger,I mean the hunger to perform. To prove that you are the best. To have that killer instinct .Leadership. A Jedi never knows when he will be called on to step up and take on the responsibility of leadership in some situation. This is where self-discipline and continuous learning will come in handy.Self-Discipline .To control ones desires, actions, habits, etc. A Jedi Knight must have the self-discipline to train everyday and learn continuously in order to be ready to serve anyone at anytimeAnd this is what sets me apart from the rest of the people. Not everyone can be a Jedi. The path of Jedi is one of sacrifice. And I am fit and ready to walk down that pathSince I joined IIFT, I have always seen students of my batch walking back to hostel after our IAP or PC sessions with sad and dull faces. Being a happy-go-lucky person, I have always tried to bring a smile on everyone's face. I go around roaming in the hostel to different rooms , sit down with people , crack a few jokes. Cheerful faces make my day and always try to be the reason for it.I particularly liked the article "Nehruvian Socialism vs Modinomics" in the Jan edition of the magazine. Well, to be truthful,the article caught my attention because of Nehru . Nehru was a Kashmiri Pandits. We, the Kashmiri Pandits, being a small community are usually very excited about our counterparts. Nehru was the heart of the then Kashmiri Pandits. ans Modi is the heart of the current generation of Kashmiris. Having heard so much about them at home and the outside world, the article compared policies of both that was a delight to read.Hunger to learn: I am very enthusiastic and I wish to learn as much as I can about finance.

I want to perfect my knowledge in Finance and add value to myself.99307716267/25/2015 0:48:03Prateek Mahajan31KAI have not held any POR during my college and workplace.
