Q Could you share your experience at Milaap
2015 ndashReunion of Batch of 1995

abroad as well came to attend it We have a
WhatsApp group of our batch and we are in touch
with each other on a personal as well as
professional front We were all awestruck
looking at the transformation
the college has undergone We
were very happy meeting
Professor Hariharan
Q What is your most memo-
rable moment at SIMSR
Many memorable moments ndash
my first presentation my
good times with friends but
the most memorable moment
was getting a job I got placed
on Day 2 It was a sense of
freedom- and excitement to
enter the corporate world
Q What have been the turning points in your
life
In 2007 the market was booming and movement
from being a regulator- (working with NSE) to the
other side- ie the markets with IIFL Being a reg-
ulator was able to see what it is to lay and imple-
ment rules and policies and at IIFL was able to
see how to make the company compliant with
the same
Q What is your approach in taking strategic
decisions
You need to be able to visualize and think out of
the box You need to think how you can make
changes in a big way Once you think ahead- you
start strategizing on how to get there and then
start taking steps in that direction One needs to
think where he wants to be 5 years ahead and
strategize accordingly
Q What was your key learning from the two
years spent at SIMSR
You learn to spend 12 to 14 hours in college focus-
ing on academics- which is tough initially You also
develop team working skills as you are doing a lot
of group projects which exposes you to different
spheres and expands your knowledge You
suddenly start looking at
things from a different
perspective Also your lead-
ership skills are enhanced
Q What was your key
learning when you were
with NSE and then you
switched to IIFL
Being employed with NSE
you are able to understand
market dynamics and learn
to suggest controls and
measures You learn the
value of the highest integrity
and gets grained in you to the core At IIFL I
learnt how implement these policies in addition
to being process driven how to go by the book
how to comply with rules and regulations
Working with different people with varied
academic backgrounds helps you develop people
management skills that is a key requirement for
success in any stream
Q What is your advice to SIMSR students
You should question every theory with a
practical approach Gone are the days of Jack of
all trades master of none You have to have a
niche area where you are the master Be clear
on what is your area of interest and donrsquot worry
about leadership Identify one hour in a day that
would be your most productive hour and make
time to have a date with yourself In this one
hour prioritize your work put your task
together and move ahead in a planned manner
