Why an mba?
Currently, I am in a Leadership position and learning the effective skills of management. However, with my strong Interpersonal Skills, I would definitely want to move ahead in my career in an industry which requires greater understanding of the end customer and the markets.

Short term goal is to become a marketing professional and join the FMCG sector as an Assistant Brand Manager. Also develop a greater understanding in the area of market research and consumer behavior.
