My experience in ISBS PGDM was overwhelming as everyday was exciting and full of different challenges where I usually used to come out of my comfort zone, like improving my presentation skills and communication skills, opening my mind to new ideas and knowledge, and thinking and performing some out of the box tasks. Additionally, I had overcome my limitations, like my fear of being judged, by standing out and putting forward my own opinion on different aspects, taking ownership and responsibility of my task, becoming better each day, and handling and managing different people who were still able to execute a task. Moreover, I must say ISBS has given me some glimpses of corporate life, like handling pressure, being a multitasker, not taking anything on my head, and still giving my best. This journey with ISBS PGDM has helped us become better professionals.
