Can an event be a solution to the not-so-high-level of popularity in the education sector of an MBA college? Subhadeep Bhattacharya says “Yes”. For him, an event is a solution to most of the business problems of various organizations.
Subhadeep belongs to the category of MBA graduates whose career dream does not end at a high paying job after the degree. He wants his education to give him something more. He is a second year student at the SIES College of Management who along with three of his batch mates, Harshvardhan Gaur, Avinash Korudu and Dhanraj Israni have set up a website known as ‘Eventbandaas.com‘ to promote the idea of events as one of the probable way to provide solutions to various business problems. Subhadeep had always been an active event manager at the school and college level and found that events excited him; during his MBA he developed a method to integrate his passion and studies and launched the website after finding like minded people in his college. He plans to make it a one stop shop for all event related information and will try to bring reforms in the education sector using his website as a tool for change.
Education as a tool for reform has been around since the start of time. However, today the combination of education, vision and technology has become a force to reckon with for in terms of the power they have to turn situations around. An education visionary can develop new ventures, create jobs and thus affect public opinion in a major way. Entrepreneurship by MBA graduates is catching up in a big way and can be termed as one good result of the recession. However, it shouldn’t be taken as a temporary alternative to the high paying jobs that did not materialize this season. The government should also help in making the country a entrepreneur friendly one. Quality will become a norm rather than an exception if out of the box thinking is giving the impetus that it needs.
