Vinay Kumar Jaiswal, Alumni IMT CDL - "The IMT CDL Course Helped Me Tweak What Was I Doing Earlier By Redefining My Methodology."

Online, July 9, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Vinay Kumar Jaiswal had reached a point in his career where an MBA degree was not a necessity for him, but a requirement of his job and his employers - the Swedish global telecom giant, Ericsson Global India. A regular, campus-based MBA would have been a negative career choice, as Ericsson wanted him to continue working and find a programme flexible enough to suit his needs. For Vinay, the search for an ideal PGDM programme ended with IMT CDL.

"I found IMT CDL perfect for my needs. I was attending classes over the weekends, the exams were pre-scheduled; I could pre-plan my work-study balance. The IMT-CDL program is at par with any regular PGDM course as far as curriculum is concerned; all relevant topics are covered beautifully. The text books provided by IMT-CDL are so structured that you do not need any other book for the reference. They are just perfect, very condensed and very crisp to gain the knowledge in Management. The standards of course material is set very high. Come to think of it, I did not realise when those 3 years went by; everything at IMT CDL was so systematic and planned and fitted in beautifully with my scheme of things."

Today, Vinay Kumar Jaiswal is a part of the top management at Ericsson. As a Director, his resource field is global emergencies. He believes that doing the course at IMT CDL has been one of the most important decisions for him, both career-wise and personally.

"When you are sitting at a Top Management position, there are three attributes absolutely critical to your personality - leadership, communication skills and good knowledge of finance. IMT CDL helped me hone my financial management skills. It made me realise that, in the final analysis, doing business is all about knowing your finances, first and foremost. Prior to IMT CDL, I was doing a fairly good job of managing my responsibilities. But the IMT CDL course helped me to tweak what I was doing earlier by redefining my methodology. It helped me sharpen my skills in all the three areas mentioned above. Human Resource, especially, is covered remarkably well in the IMT CDL curriculum, along with leadership skills and behaviour."

As an IMT CDL alumnus, Vinay feels he is much better equipped and has the backing of a formal knowledge base to match his domain expertise in the telecom sector. It reflects in his ability and confidence in handling crisis situations for customers, both Indian and global.
