Life at ISB: Diverse peer group & phenomenal classes create a life-changing experience

In the third part of Life at B-School series, we spoke to Satej Sirur from ISB Hyderabad.

Satej has a BE (Computer Science) degree from Rashtreeya Vidyalaya College of Engineering, Bangalore, and a Masters in Computer Science from Cornell University. He has seven years of experience as a software engineer, working with companies like Microsoft, Amazon and a start-up in New York.

“I wanted to be a part of the entrepreneur scene in India. Hence decided to come back pursue my MBA from ISB,” says Satej. He passed out from the Indian School of Business - Hyderabad in 2013 and is currently working with TaxiforSure as a product manager.

In this Shiksha Podcast, Satej talks about the classes, diverse peer group and other life-changing experiences at ISB. “It was phenomenal to be at ISB. Our batch had journalists, armed forces personnel, engineers, doctors, and people from almost every possible field. To be surrounded by such a diverse group was a phenomenal experience. It’s been a life changing B-School experience!”
