It has been four weeks since EPGP Batch IX completed its programme at IIM Bangalore. While some of us are looking for accommodation and booking the services of packers and movers, others are enjoying some precious family time. As I glance through our Convocation Day pictures that celebrate the ‘we did it’ moment, I pause to reflect on this one-year roller coaster ride. When I joined the one-year fulltime Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management at IIM Bangalore, I fretted that competing with the best minds in business would wear…
