70 minute, 70 minute hain tumhaare paas!

Following is the text of the inspirational talk given by our professor just before the Nucor case group work began. This is for all those of you who came in a little late and missed the talk.

“70 minute, 70 minute hain tumhaare paas!

Shaayad tumhare Business Strategy course ke sabse khaas 70 minute.

Aaj tum achchi strategy banao ya buri, yeh 70 minute tumhein poore General Management trimester mein yaad rahenge.

To kaise strategy banana hai, aaja mainn tumhein nahin bataoonga.

Pchchch *shakes head*

Bas itna kahoonga, ki jaao, aur yeh 70 minute jee bhar ke strategy banao, kyonki iske baad aane waale sessions mein, chahe kuch sahi ho ya na ho, chahe tum 5 Forces framework lagao ya 7 S’s framework, tum pass ho ya fail ho, lekin yeh 70 minute tumse koi nahin chheen sakta, koi nahin.

To, meine sooncha ki, is class mein kaise strategy banana hai, aaj mein tumhe nahin bataonga, balki tum mujhe bataoge - startegy banaakar.

Kyonki mein jaanta hoon, ki agar yeh 70 minute, is class ka har ‘participant’ apne General Management trimester ki sabse badhiya strategy bana gaya, to yeh 70 minute SPJIMR bhi tumse wapas nahin maang sakta.

To jaao, jaao aur apne aap se, PGPMRA se, SPJIMR se, aur har us Prof. se jisne tum par bharosa nahin kiya, apne 70 minute chheen lo.”
