I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
– Douglas Adams
It’s been twenty months since I landed in US and just over a month left before I leave. Planning to come here has been going on for much longer, the main goal was to understand the American perspective of business, to experience the land of opportunities and figure out what makes this place most innovative in the world. MBA here was part of the plan, but not the only thing in mind, interacting with people and learning as much as possible was primary aim. I am not disappointed that I could not get a major in entrepreneurship, but I compensated for it by taking three concentrations.
I think the goal is achieved, learning is a continuous process but at one point one has to decide that its time to implement and learn from experience. That time has come, my two long term goals – to start my own company and to locate very close to home, seem to be close to realization. Next month after graduation, I am heading to Ahmedabad to start a ‘Knowledge Solutions’ venture with two of my friends. This venture brings both fields that I love – Computer Science and Learning, together. We plan to build simulators for learning and teach different aspects of businesses to various sets of managers.
Business plan is made, ideas brainstormed and we are ready for the challenges. Lets see where it goes from here!
