| Studying in UK |
‘Knowledge is Great’ and if acquired in Great Britain it is greater. When I set this premise for myself there has to be a sound argument to validate and substantiate my decision. To set the context right I will throw some light on my profile that reads 7 years in shipping, 2 Years in a top notch B School in India and then 7 years of Sales & Marketing in world’s best IT companies. For more details of my work experience and employment details please feel free to check my Linked In profile. Owing to my two stints each, of 7 years in different segments I realized that there is something called ‘A seven year itch’. All the qualification and experience can serve us good for next 5 years or at the max 7 years (as in my case) and then we have to reinvent ourselves. Acquiring new knowledge is always great and to do so why not go back to the classroom where it all originally started.
Why MBA?
In the next stage of my career I want
to explore newer industries, work in newer geographies and pursuing a MBA at
London Business School (LBS) aptly serves my purpose. The academic rigor, the extraordinarily
talented classmates, the world class faculty, the exposure to a curriculum that
meets global business needs is what LBS promises and I would like to go for a
MBA degree from this reputed and prestigious institution.

Why MBA from London School of Business?
I have been enamored by London
Business School (LBS) and have always dreamt of doing MBA in Marketing from here.
LBS needs no introduction and is recognized amongst world’s top business school
with finest of the teachers, best in class amenities and distinguished alumni. London
Business School has been ranked number one internationally for its two year MBA
programme by Forbes, for the third time running.

Benefits and Career
impact
Recruiters recognize
a degree from an international institution very positively because it gives the
candidate a chance to acquire ‘global outlook’. This quality is very important
for prospective leaders as they need to manage the businesses across
geographies and will need skills like critical analysis and reasoning skills,
initiative and creativity, flexibility and diversity. Moreover qualifications
earned in UK add lots of weightage to the resume, help in getting salary hikes
and also in taking up leadership roles. To realize our own career potential as
a world-class business leader we need an investment, a commitment, a determination,
an ambition to pursue knowledge. Once we reach the pinnacle of our trades we
will certainly agree that ‘Knowledge is
Great’.
