The beginning of the new decade heralded opportunities for humans to dive deeper into futuristic technologies—but nobody imagined that students would experience management education virtually from 2020 itself! For many of us, the SIBM Bengaluru Virtual Experience has been immensely valuable in helping us adapt to new challenges. As they say, a manager’s true competence is tested by their ability to face change—and SIBM Bengaluru provided just the right support to make this transition seamless.
A Dynamic Start to the SIBM Bengaluru Virtual Experience
The MBA journey began with an exciting case-study challenge called Xplore India 2020, followed by submissions and presentations to the faculty. Soon after, we were officially welcomed by industry specialists during the Annual Corporate Induction. This session exposed us to valuable insights from leaders in Sales, Marketing, Operations, Finance, and Analytics.
It was everything an MBA aspirant could dream of! The exposure that SIBM Bengaluru’s Virtual Experience offered—connecting us with over 25 companies and 30 speakers during a two-week induction—proved to be an incredible launchpad for our learning journey.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
After the induction, we entered a rigorous academic schedule filled with competitions, presentations, and submissions. These activities continuously tested our managerial abilities. However, the much-needed breather came in the form of Utopia ’20—our annual international cultural festival.
The event united people from various backgrounds and offered them a vibrant platform to showcase their talents. This year, students from across India participated enthusiastically. They performed not only to impress but also to express themselves through cultural and literary events.
Even amid our busy schedule, life at SIBM Bengaluru remains exciting. Each week brings a new opportunity to explore, participate, and grow. Indeed, the SIBM Bengaluru Virtual Experience keeps us inspired and motivated.
Peer Learning and Student-Centric Culture
One of the highlights of the SIBM Bengaluru Virtual Experience is its strong peer-to-peer learning culture. The institute promotes a student-driven environment, where most activities are planned and executed by students. This fosters collaboration, leadership, and healthy interaction among juniors and seniors.
Our journey began with fun ice-breaker sessions hosted by our seniors. They came up with creative games and activities that helped us connect quickly. As a result, we built genuine friendships and developed a sense of belonging.
Although we are miles apart, we share a strong bond that goes beyond screens. We truly can’t wait to meet everyone in person at our beautiful Electronic City campus. Until then, this virtual journey remains our reality—and we can proudly say, “We are future-ready!”
