    It gives me immense pleasure to present

    the first issue of our Alumni Newsletter -

    Sampark, for the academic year of 2010.

    It has been quite some time since we last

    interacted and Alcom has never beforebeen so abuzz with activities.

    The Orientation Programme for the

    incoming batch 2010-2012 was held with a

    lot of zeal and buzz. We had a number of

    distinguished alumni who made it down

    to campus as part of the guest lecture

    sessions. Fresh from a long summer

    break, Alcom got down to doing

    something it is best at engaging the alumni. And as part of the start off

    event The Finance Week, guest lectures were organized on upcoming

    topics in the area of Finance.

    I appreciate the untiring efforts and team spirit of our Sampark Team

    and everyone involved with Sampark, who made this issue a reality.

    And as always, receiving insights and perspectives will be invaluable to

    us, so please feel free to contact us anytime at [email protected].

    alumnus of IIT Kanpur and IIM Calcutta, Dr. Ali served Steel Authority

    of India Limited (SAIL), Durgapur; Greaves Foes co Ltd., Jamshedpur;

    organizations, he unearthed a passion for teaching and pursued the

    same through stints at B-schools like Xavier Institute of Management

    Bhubaneswar, Goa Institute of Management and MDI Gurgaon.

    Dr. Ali was a dynamic person and a true visionary. He played a pivotal

    21st June 2010 witnessed over 450 students eagerly waiting to be

    addressed by the elite of the corporate world. None could have been

    better for the aspiring managers than to be guided by the best right from

    day one. And, it became all the more inspiring for us to know that these

    branches had their roots attached to the same terra firma on which we

    have our feet just instituted, that is, IMT.

    The dignitaries who graced the occasion were as follows:

    Mr. Debashish Das who inaugurated the orientation week, emphasized

    on acquiring complete knowledge by devoting the required amount of

    time instead of becoming a jack of all trades for which he quoted his

    sons example. He suggested making optimum use of a platform like

    IMT for the next two years, motivating the students to focus on

    excellence.

    India. He elaborated on the challenges faced by him, in establishing his

    As the entire world was gripped in football fever for the last one month,

    we at IMT were trying to balance our lives between football and course

    quizzes. But then it was time for the finals, and we finally had a night to

    enjoy. The kickoff before the kickoff was by the college band, setting

    the mood on the right track. As Shakira Waka-Waka-d and the

    Vuvuzelas blew havoc, the IMTians settled down in its amphitheatre for

    the open air screening of finals. As Spain took on Netherlands the crowd

    got divided into orange and red.

    Every move by the players on the pitch was followed by cheers and boos

    at the same time from every end of the amphitheatre. And the match

    could not have better suited the atmosphere on campus with extra time

    on the cards. The nerves were on a stretch for the last minute finish and

    with Spain walking away Victorious it was a heart break for the Orange

    supporters, but jubilation for the Spanish matadors. The enmities were

    soon forgotten and everyone cheered as the trophy was lifted up.

    The world cup fever prevailed in the campus, but this time the focus

    was on the presentation and Marketing skills of the students. GLOBIZ

    came up with the first intra-college event for the first year PGDM

    students, IMT Premier League (IPL).

    The teams from each section were allocated a country and were required

    to present a bid for the 2018 world cup for their respective countries. The

    teams came up with comprehensive slide-shows supplemented by

    attractive videos to substantiate their claim of being the best bid.

    Post presentations, the Q and A sessions made it even more interesting

    as the audience chipped in with enthusiasm. With the teams getting

    grilled as the football link made its presence felt, the participants had to

    put there preparation on display. At the end the clarity and specification

    with which all the presentations were given, made it a tough call for

    judges to declare a winner. And this was quite visible in the results as

    two first and two second places were awarded, with Argentina and USA

    walking away as joint honours.

    IMT-G is known to produce managers who are street smart. The first

    step towards identifying such street savvy managers amongst the first

    years was the event MARK ROADIES which was organized by Mark-

    Up, the marketing club of IMT Ghaziabad. It was an event packed with a

    lot of fun and learning in equal proportions which kicked off on 20th

    july in the amphitheatre. The turnout was outstanding with around 70

    teams of 3 members each being registered.

    The first round had enthusiastic participants running all over thecampus, with clues in their hands which led them to various check

    points. At each checkpoint participants were given tasks like crossword,

    ad making etc. which tested their knowledge on 4P's of marketing viz..

    Product, Place, Price and Promotion

    In the final round of this event, 6 teams were given Rs.100 each and were

    asked to come up with an innovative product. On 27th July, a

    The first event among the plethora of events to be organized by the

    Alumni Relationship Committee of IMT Ghaziabad during the academic

    year 2010-2011 was the Finance Week held from 26th to 31st July 2010.

    The week comprised of Guest lectures and various other events for the

    students. The purpose was to ensure that the students have an enriching

    experience by getting a chance to interact with the esteemed Alumni of

    IMT who have been a part of the industry for a long time. This wouldgive the students an opportunity to learn from their vast experience.

    The week began with Mr. Mani Kant, the Vice President of India Insure

    Risk Management coming and addressing the students on Corporate

    Insurance. He introduced the students to the Insurance sector and also

    gave useful insight into the ways in which employees receive benefits

    from their organizations.

    This was followed by an event, the Open Out cry which was a Stock

    Trading event organized by Finnacle. It included buying and selling of

    stocks keeping in mind the fluctuations that take place in the real market

    and thus required students to bid for their stocks and increase their

    IQC whic was an amalgamation of fun and knowledge and spanned

    across 2 days. The event witnessed an overwhelming response of more

    learning. Also, the participation and enthusiasm shown by the students

    made this event a success.

    The blog in feature in this issue of

    Sampark is Man Oh Man by Mr. Dev

    Amritesh, VP Marketing, and

    Dominos Pizza India.

    About a decade ago, most marketing

    people would discuss how the Indianwoman is changing and how we can

    leverage the understanding of this

    change to drive differentiated brand

    positions. I used to work in a

    marketing team that used to target

    women and I remember discussions around how attitudes and needs are

    changing dramatically for the Indian woman across demographics and

    geographies. Today, I think the change has happened and now the

    movement seems to be a bit more linear and no so dramatic.Then there

    has been a lot of research money spent on understanding the huge

    change happening in kids, teens etc. All these consumer groups have

    been under the scanner over the last decade.

    The Indian Man has been conspicuous by his absence in the discussionsaround change in this period though. While this may not be true for

    brands that go after the male in a very sharp manner, generally speaking

    this is the trend that I have observed. But things are changing suddenly

    and very fast suddenly the Indian man is all over the psyche of the

    Marketing folks and everyone wants a slice of this change pie in the

    Indian Man. Lets, face it. The 35-year-old urban male is where a lot of

    the consumption action is. While the woman controls and influences

    Alum Musings

  • 8/6/2019 SAMPARK 4.1

    17/28

    17 | P a g e

    Most of the household and family consumption, the socio economic and

    cultural environment in India being what it is, the Individual

    consumption of the CWE (Chief Wage Earner) multiplied by his size

    makes for the single largest consuming group when you segment themarket by age and gender. This means that if there had been a change in

    this animal in the past, the marketers would have been quick to spot

    trends and jump in them but nothing seems to have happened, in the

    post liberalization era even. Of course, the size of spending and income

    levels have changed but attitudes, wants, roles, cultural codes and

    functional and emotional needs from products and brands have not

    really evolved beyond what they used to be. But why is everyone

    excited all of a sudden why is the Indian Man changing and what the

    change is.

    Very broadly, the buckets in which life of this group can be slotted are

    1. Work

    2. Family and

    3. Self.

    Historically, work and self have been the key priorities for this group

    and family has been some one that they need to provide for, receive and

    give love and quite often a source of fulfilling the self actualization

    needs of the self. The weight ages of each of these buckets have not

    changed over several years and hence the man has not changed.

    Suddenly the family bucket has changed today its not something thatyou just need to provide for and love and be loved. Today the

    expectation of the environment is to be involved to be immersed and to

    love doing it. Kids expect and need that involvement, wives need it. The

    guys who do it are no longer pansies and joru kaa ghulaams, but they

    are the real men. Its no longer un macho to cry, its great to be able to

    express your feelings openly and freely. Its stupid now to walk into the

    sun with a broken heart and a smile on your face. There are three big

  • 8/6/2019 SAMPARK 4.1

    18/28

    18 | P a g e

    implications for brands and marketing people due to the change - The

    bottom-line...

    1. Since the rules are changing there is a strong need for anchors wherethe man can park himself and justify to himself that its okay to make

    this transition. I suspect this is an area that brands could play a role.

    2. The weight of the expectation from others for him to make the change

    just like everyone else seems to be doing is huge. The rules by which he

    could be cool earlier are almost signs of immaturity and foolishness. The

    new rules and the pressure of this expectation is huge. This is where I

    think there is an opportunity for new products and new business ideas

    to be born.

    3. The sacrifice that he has to make on the third bucket, i.e. the Self-

    bucket, in order to manage the other two buckets is also huge.

    Considering that the Indian male has been fairly selfish and spoilt for all

    these years this change is creating a big emotional void and a feeling of

    incompleteness. Again an insight that can lead to opportunity

    unlocking.

    Folks, this time our guys cant get away. This time its not just for show,

    but for realits a big change for our big guysand it has all the

    qualitative research agencies and brand managers excited. Excited like

    hell because the monolith has finally woken its finally standing and is

    finally moving. Everyone wants to get under in a great position to fire

    that silver bullet on the soft underbelly, lest the beast sits down again

    and only the hard skin is visible to chip away on. God knows the next

    time the buggers get up again may be after 20 years

    Mr. Aseem Arora , Managing Director, Paridhy Staffing & Consulting

    Pvt Ltd. speaks to Alumni Relationship Committee, IMT, Ghaziabad. In

    the Q & A, Mr. Arora elaborates on importance of MBA, his life and time

    at college, his views on new generation of MBAs, summing up with a

    message for students and fellow alumnis.

    Q: What were your most memorable moments?

    A: I enjoyed every moment of my stay there. I became more

    extrovert, interacted more with the world by and large. I got better

    at presenting myself and could speak on the Dias. If you ask me to

    pick an incident then heres the story. When we entered IMT, it

    wasnt a recognized college. A month after I joined it gotrecognition and the whole institute celebrated, the whole college

    went to Choudhary cinemas and the party went on for 2 days.

    Other moments were the Industrial trips to Escorts and Maruti

    which were great learning experiences.

    Q: Anything you really loved in or about IMT?

    A: I loved the ambience and the greenery. There was a professor

    named Subodh Sharma who would take 4 lectures together, take

    us to the lawn and work with us. He would place a packet of

    Charms in the middle of the students and the students could

    smoke when they wished. Those sessions were really interactive

    and educative.

    Q and Alumnus

  • 8/6/2019 SAMPARK 4.1

    21/28

    21 | P a g e

    Q: Something you would have liked to change about IMT?

    A: Back then, we had very few case studies and the curriculum

    was more academic in nature. And case studies are the only wayto learn in management. Given a chance, I would have loved to do

    that differently.

    Q: How important has an MBA been for your career?

    A: Back then, it was a new course. Everything was evolving and

    the difference between IIMs and other colleges was huge. IMTs

    brand name wasnt as big back then, but still the career boost was

    huge. I can easily say that it was a corner stone in my career.

    Q: back then when u got placed, what was the most

    important goal for you?

    A: I had committed a blunder during placements. I was breezing

    through in Finance courses due to my b.com. honors background

    and I was branded a finance guy. So I rejected offers for marketing

    and took up a job in finance. Later on I realized my mistake and

    switched to marketing n year later. So, to sum it up, I wanted a job

    I liked.

    Q: Have the views changed with newer generations coming

    in?

    A: I wish I could say yes to that. But I see so many people who go

    by herd-mentality even now. Youngsters these days are in a better

    position to choose their field and do what they like, given the

    ample opportunities nowadays. A bit of introspection can go a

  • 8/6/2019 SAMPARK 4.1

    22/28

    22 | P a g e

    long way in taking up a career of your liking and making you a

    happier man. A happier man builds a happier society.

    Q: What was the most important decision of yourprofessional life?

    A: I worked in finance for a year but didnt like what I was doing.

    Fortunately, I managed to convince a software company that I was

    a good sales guy. This was a turning point as I landed just the job I

    enjoyed, selling technology, demonstrate value and field tough

    questions about the product as I was a sales person at heart.

    Q: What has been your most important learning till date?

    A: The core is more important than the package. Sheer articulation

    cannot help you win the battle. You have to stay focused, on-target

    and achievement oriented. I have seen low profile people doing

    better than the exciting ones simply because they were doing their

    numbers right. Even on a personal level, its easier to teach them to

    crack jokes than to teach the other group to deliver.

    Q: Any message for fellow alumni and present students?

    A: Enjoy what you are doing and learn to work hard. You workdoesnt end at doing the assignment but you have to go the extra

    mile. You have to really learn and enjoy what you are doing. Just

    knowing the subject is not enough but you must be able to think

    deep with that.

    It is most exciting and humbling to be part of ALCOM- the

    link between the illustrious alumni of IMT and its upcoming

    significantly impact me- professionally as well as personally.

    I look forward to strengthening our alumni relations and

    making my small contribution towards building and

    retaining brand IMT.

    ALCOM provides varied learning not just limited to one

    thing. Right from developing interpersonal skill, interacting

    with corporate, organizing events, time management,

    marketing skills to operational level work. Its a great

    platform for practical learning and applying that to gain a

    hands on experience.

    Being a member of ALCOM gives me an opportunity to

    interact with the esteemed alumni of IMT. Not only is it anenriching experience, but it also gives me exposure and

    helps me learn from people who have been in the industry.

    At the same time, it gives me a chance to be the face of IMT

    for the alumni and to help them stay in touch with their

    roots. I look forward to contributing to this committee.

    ALCOM provides me a platform to learn the practical

    aspects of management while still being a student. A

    combination of theoretical and hands-on work is what

    lured me to ALCOM. And now I look forward to make

    maximum use of the time I will spend at ALCOM.

    The opportunity to interact with the alumni on a one on one

    basis is very exciting. One gets to learn so much from these

    big shots of the corporate world. I seriously think its a great

    platform to learn the practical aspect of managing things

    while contributing to the college your own small way.

    Being part of Alcom, I feel I can do my bit in helping the

    esteemed alumni stay connected to their roots. ALCOM is

    the medium that facilitates a fruitful interaction between the

    students and the Alumni. A person who was once in the

    same shoes as we is by far the best person to guide us. It is

    indeed a privilege to interact with the distinguished minds

    who have established themselves as leaders in diverse fields

    spanning through three decades.

    ALCOM works towards developing and maintaining

    programs and activities which enhance the lifetime

    relationship between alumni and the College. These

    intellectual and social programs offer alumni the

    opportunity to remain engaged with IMT. Also, ALCOM

    will give me a platform to hone my skills and an

    opportunity to interact with the esteemed alumni base.

    Joining ALCOM provides me with an opportunity to

    interact with the people who have helped build brand

    "IMT. As a part of ALCOM, I would get to learn a lot from

    the experiences of the esteemed alumni our college has

    produced. It is a great platform for me to grow as an

    individual and I look forward towards doing my bit tobuild a stronger bond between the alumni and IMT.

    The ability to connect with the alumni network is one of the

    most valuable assets at IMT; ALCOM is the platform to do

    so. An alumnus has seen how his/her learning of MBA areapplicable in the real world post MBA, gaining from which I

    can make my tenure at IMT most productive. Being in

    ALCOM, will teach me management in practical sense and

    would help me contribute my bit towards my college.

    The bond one develops when he/she has been a part of

    something for a period of time is which persist and surfaces

    from time to time, its just that some are aware of it and forsome it comes as a surprise. ALCOM bridges this gap for

    the Alumni keeping the memories alive, and the process is

    a huge learning experience. ALCOM, I believe will make

    my days at IMT a much better experience than otherwise.

    Alumni relations are the main assets of an institute and

    ALCOM does its best to maintain them. Being part of this

    initiative and a prestigious committee like ALCOM will

    provide me with great corporate exposure. The learning

    that I will gain from here will hone my managerial skills

    and help me in a long run.

    ALCOM came as the best fit model for me where in I could

    observe the ways in which I can contribute towards

    ALCOMs objectives, and consequently gain from the

    same. I feel more than privileged to be a part of ALCOM

    and look forward to maximally utilize my stay at ALCOM

    plus IMT.

    I joined ALCOM as this is a platform for me to hone in on

    my management skills, and to interact with the Corporate

    World. The wealth of an institute is measured by the wealth

    of its alumni. So there could have been a better platform to

    render my services than to ALCOM. It is a privilege to be a

    part of something as prestigious as ALCOM.

    A tree can grow tall and wide only if its roots are nurtured.

    The alumni are the roots of brand IMT. It is a humbling

    experience to help build a connect between the Alumni and

    their ALMA MATER. Being a part of ALCOM has taught

    me a lot- developing interpersonal skills, interacting with

    corporate, organizing events and most importantly time

    management.

    Mr. Gaurav Malik needs no introduction; he has been the epitome of guidance for

    the Alumni Relationship Committee. As the backbone for all Alumni related

    activities, Mr. Malik is keenly involved in the day to day functioning of the

    Committee. He looks after all administrative and financial needs of the

    Committee, acts as an interface between the college administration & the alumni

    base and above all gives direction to the budding student members of the

    Committee. As the Committee enters into a new exciting year, we would like to

    thank Gaurav Sir, as he is affectionately called, for all his guidance and help.
