Many of these IITs students vie for because it can literally transform your life.

I literally got flashbacks of what happened during my JEE days in the first couple of weeks of IIM.

Which company they wanted to go and what function in that company they wanted to go.

So people used to come and say, I am from IIT Delhi.

I want to go into Goldman Sachs, IBD, London desk.

And I was sitting there clueless as to what I wanted to do in my life.

Which is good actually, by the way.

Let's talk about the Nokia case.

Nokia came and said to keep our market share stable.

And the interesting thing was that the Indian leadership told us not to look at the product.

When we went to the case for the first time, we could literally see that their product is not right.

That they are bleeding because there is no product market fit anymore.

But you know, nine months after that, the whole mobile division was literally shut down of Nokia.

I think one of the most important things for the top player is to ask the right questions.

You'll get the answers.

But if you don't ask the right questions, probably all the right answers will go to the wrong questions.

I think that's a long, long time back.

How old do you think I am, by the way, Shikhar?

I know your age.

Yeah.
