My name is Anshuk Gandhi. I am writing this post on board a train from Manchester to London. We just finished a very intense and rewarding MAP last week and I am treating myself to a short holiday in England. I came to Ross from India with 5 years of operations and technology consulting for large manufacturing companies. My first year at Ross has transformed the perspective with which I went in to solve business problems. Reflecting on my MAP experience, I was thrilled with my ability to quickly recognize strategic issues in a retail bank's business model and to lay out specific changes to their products, pricing, marketing techniques and customer relationships - all in six weeks. As I prepare to intern in IBM's strategy and transformation practice this summer, this experience gives me great confidence in my ability to do well and land a full-time offer.
Besides my love for consulting, one of the reasons for my choosing IBM over other offers was that it's based out of New York, which I like because of its pace and its vibrant arts and culture scene. Thankfully, IBM has arranged for subsidized housing in Manhattan for the summer. I do not know yet whether my client will be close to New York or I will be on the road Monday to Thursday, but I am looking forward to having some great weekends in the city.
Prior to the start of my IBM internship, I am going to spend a month in Bombay and intern for a month with GMR Infrastructure. This is a corporate finance internship and I hope to gain a deep understanding of project evaluation and financing models, which will be really useful in my consulting career. I will write on this blog about that experience and others during the summer. Until then, adios!
