Careers360: It is a fact that learning never ends for any professional. In this context, how do you think one should prepare for career advancement with value additions? How can students identify these areas?

Naman Chaturvedi: A student should develop their skill set in such a way so as to master firstly their own line of work and secondly to have an additional skill as a value addition. In current times the second skill could be related to technology and will enhance a student's profile. There are several tools and technologies rapidly changing the work environment. Making oneself comfortable with these technologies would be a good way to enhance one’s profile.

Careers360: Any advice to students who wish to pursue a PGDM?

Naman Chaturvedi: Students should try to develop their overall personality and not just focus solely on academics. An MBA is a program in which, apart from developing your own core skills, you also need to develop your personality, and soft skills and have wider exposure to the world. There are ample opportunities available, and one should try to use them in an optimal manner.
