“Although I don’t dwell too much into the past or the future, I would like to be in such a position that no organization could afford to lose an employee like me.” – Praveen Shamra (PGDM 2014) on getting placed with Deloitte Consulting India Pvt. Ltd.

While growing up in Ranchi, Jharkhand, Praveen Sharma dreamt of going places and finding his own niche in the exciting world of management. Hence, he decided to come to SCMS Cochin on the basis of his score in MAT exams. For him, from among the top list of institutes, SCMS was the one that took admissions through MAT, so it seemed like a practical decision. Praveen had also heard about the impeccable faculty team, innovative curriculum and, of course, the placement record, which helped him make up his mind in favour. And today it’s a combination of all these factors that got him a placement with prestigious Deloitte Consulting India Pvt. Ltd.

Recounting his experiences at SCMS that has changed his life, Praveen says, “There has been ups and downs throughout my journey here. But I have been trained in a way that the downs never became obstacles for me.” He then talks being the overall coordinator for Shikhar ‘14, the popular management fest organized by his institute as one of the high points during his academic experience. He was also the overall coordinator for a research project initiated by Kerala State Government on Migrant Labourers working in Kerala in association with SCMS. Today he can count his placement with a prestigious firm as another of his achievement.
