This skill has been invaluable in my current
internship, where I often have to come
up with innovative solutions to complex
problems. In my internship, I have to come
up with content ideas, structure them and
execute them, while also making sure that
the content is well received by the audience.
IMDR has helped me in this by allowing me
to evolve every day both professionally and
personally.
IMDR and its PGDM course has helped me
in my communication skills. As an introvert,
I was always hesitant to speak up in class
or in group discussions. However, the PGDM
program helped me step out of my comfort
zone, build my confidence and helped
me develop my communication skills. To
give an example, I had a presentation on
a topic of our own choosing and failed to
deliver while being in front of my class, but
that changed as IMDR gave me multiple
opportunities to practice. I was finally able to

When I first stepped in IMDR, I was
intimidated by the academic rigor and
the level of competition among students.

meant to push us to our limits and bring out
the best in us. One of the most significant
changes I have seen in myself is my ability
to think critically and creatively. I learned
how to approach problems with a structured
and logical mindset while also being
innovative and thinking outside the box.
