Answer: I am pursuing MBA at IBS Jaipur, specializing in Core – HR. I just understand the impact one can have in HR, especially as a recruiter. You know, companies are not made of buildings, and other tangible property. Great companies are made of great people. And whether you get such people onboard, and manage to keep them in the company, depends primarily on HR. I would love to participate in this operation, and that is why I chose HR for my career.

I would love to explore myself in this field because the HRs are the core process owners and are the backbone of any organization who impact the mindset and attitude of the people in the organization and help in aligning them with vision, mission, and organizational goals.
