Questions

What are your career aspirations after completing the course?

After completing my MBA, I plan to return to India and resume my career at TCS. I’m aiming for a senior leadership position, such as a Unit or Cluster Head or a VP role. This would allow me to leverage my enhanced business acumen and leadership skills to contribute significantly to the organization. In the longer term, I aspire to start my own software consultancy business. The MBA will provide me with the strategic thinking and entrepreneurial skills necessary to build and grow a successful venture. I’m excited about the prospect of combining my technical expertise with my newfound business knowledge to create innovative solutions for customers.

Why did you choose to do an MBA?

I have spent years building my technical and operational skills in IT delivery management and now want to build a broader business perspective including marketing, finance and HR. I am driven by a desire to think strategically, to spot opportunities, and to lead innovative initiatives. I believe an MBA will give me the tools and knowledge to do just that. It will help me develop an entrepreneurial mindset and sharpen my decision-making skills. I’m excited about the prospect of applying these new skills to real-world business challenges and accelerating my career growth. An MBA degree will elevate my profile, making me a more competitive candidate for senior leadership roles. It will not only validate my leadership potential but also provide me with a broader business perspective that’s essential for success at this level.
TCS’s commitment to leadership development and their willingness to offer a sabbatical post-graduation have solidified my decision to embark on this exciting journey.
