Management is something that has always intrigued me from a very early age. The knack of leadership, is a challenge that has attracted me in all its forms. The sphere provides immense opportunities to work with many individuals, bring fresh perspectives to the table, ideate and execute plans. The process in itself is a huge learning experience that I have cherished across the Positions of Responsibilities that I have been entrusted with previously.
Having served as the Student Body Head of Don Bosco School, Park Circus, Kolkata, and then the Founding Student Board Member of the Xavier Finance Community at St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Kolkata has given me exposure to leadership and management roles of student bodies. It is this that I seek to utilize and grow further as General Secretary. These experiences exposed me to a plethora of tasks such as events/fest management, funds procurement & utilization, coordination of all student activities, and most importantly, serving as a bridge between the administration and students.
Seeing the environment of work because of my family background and my association with our NGO in Kolkata, Siddhartha Shankar Ray Foundation, wherein I have organized welfare programs such as blood donations, vaccination drives, and upliftment drives, have added towards my passion for working.
At Xavier Institute of Management, I have had the opportunity to serve as the Cultural Representative for my section. The last few months have enriched me and given me an idea of both – online & offline working of things. Helping my section with the minor queries, alongside new activities to beat the rigorous schedule and bring the section closer, has been a learning process. Working under the Student Executive Council for a plethora of batch-wide activities, irrespective of the nature of the task, and striving to complete it in the best way possible has helped me grow. Especially, standing by my batchmates in the more challenging scenarios was the biggest takeaway. My position as Cultural Representative was never a restriction but more of a platform to work, whatever the task may be.
As a member of the Student Executive Council, I bring with myself the assurance to give my best for the batch, even if it means to be the last man standing. I want to work towards resolutions of the smallest glitches in the MBA student experience, taking them to the correct forum. Continuing transparency in communication with the administration and aiming for a smoother process would be an aim. Issues about academics, co-curricular activities, onboarding would definitely be the horizon, but my focus would remain on improving the daily functioning. With a calm composure and strong communication, I believe the MBA experience can be enhanced for everyone.
Across the institutions that I have been a part of, I have always aimed and had a positive mutual relationship. I hope to continue the same and serve the institution and my batchmates to the best of my ability.
Utsav is the ideal candidate for the posts as he has all the traits required to be in the position of GenSec. A responsible person with the mindset of finding solution to every complex problem. He will be the ideal candidate to handle the thin line between students and the Academic body and ensure win win situation.
Utsav ,your leadership and encouragement mean a lot to me. I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for your invaluable support and precious words of wisdom. You have tackled all the problems relating to the class in the most professional manner , but it’s not only the big things you have but the small details , those frequent,” Are you okay ?” Messages, those “ I’ll be there for you” message , that assurance that if nobody Utsav will be the last man standing is what makes you the most eligible candidate for the position of General secretary . Even before we became first , you were the first person from XIMB, to whom …
Mr. Chirimar deserves this position. He has helped me a lot be it online or offline mode, even though I am not from his section.
Utsav has the maturity to identify the emotions and reasons behind a situation, and instead of trying to find a solution he tries to understand what can be done different to handle a situation better. I believe this quality is essential for this role and we could use his expertise.
Utsav is one of the most responsible people I have come across. And i know you'll do justice to the role of general secretary
