Life @ Avalon Global Research

Life at Avalon Global Research..
Time spent - 4 months
Satisfied - Not too sure..
Learnings - Very Few but impertant one
My journey started after MBA with Avalon on 2nd june 2008...This all happened when i got placed on 6th November. Whenever Diwali is around some good news do comes up. That was it actually started..What followed is I never expected.But finally i started working with lots of expectations..So thats what happens when we have too much expectations in life...That i will do this and do that but we are not able to..Isnt it bad?? But i faced it bravely...
New place - Mumbai..
I hated the place but learnt a lot what people are, what work is, what friends are, what family is...
Learning never stops thats what i believe in and would always do..
Research is what i alwz been my strongest point but i did not like what i was doing..My interest has always been interacting with people n communicating n which i will alwz do..thats life n me...
My Motto:
Gandagi Ko Saaf Karne ke Liye, Gandagi Main Utarna padta hain..

One Night at Anjar(Gujarat)

Life teaches you so many things that you never know.
My trip to Gujarat made me learn so many things that i could even think of.
It all started when i had go for primary research that was needed to be done to complete the data gaps...My mind was completely blank but it was fun.The whole travel right from travelling from train,to bus to trax & various modes of transport in Gujarat.
But the most important thing i learnt was when i was returning back to Mumbai. That night made me understand how life treats people in various ways.
1st person i met was not so old but a person who was fighting to prove himself. Even though he did not earn purchase but he had the eagerness to do that. Life may have treated him badly but he never gave up. He was happy with what he was doing. He married thrice but was never happy with the 1st 2 wives but was really happy when he met the right person. Even though he could not run away with the person he loved but now he truly found the person who could implement and take care of him. Just to earn some money he travelled 400km every weekend & then use to sell & from that he used to earn. It is so difficult when you think about this. Here is a person who has do all by himself but we have everything in life but we still dont value it but he did. He valued what he earned but we never do that. We have become so selfish that we dont want to help others. That is what i learnt from him - his dedication towards his work , family & himself.
2nd person i met was a typical frustrated person from his job. He was working in a good multinational firm but always had to travel for various projects. After 10 years of working he wanted to have a peaceful life where he wanted only to be at one place & be with his family. At initial stage when he started his work he wanted more money but now he wanted his family. He was not able to balance both these things. Aren't we failing in all these aspects nowadays. The pressure is so much that you don't do what you love. Why is it so? Why has money taken the centrestage now? Does it mean that if you become mature then you should stop behaving differently. Why has the child in every human being gets lost when we get old? I know earning money is good but still we can maintain a balance between both. Its upto us to decide to give time for urself whatever happens.
3rd & the final person i met was a government employee who was working with FCI from last 30 years but he did not bother about anything. Typical 9 to 5 employee who goes to the office but doesnt give his 100%. Why does this attitude comes in our life that we have to see the watch every now & then? Why do we take such jobs when we are not satisfied it? Its really bad...Do what you love. At some places we might need to compromise that is still fine but never give below your 100%. Its are commitment towards work which can make a difference to ourself as well are life...
Lets start thinking about all these things..
Picture abhi khatam nahi huyi!!!!!

Indian Stock Market

Stock Market has been really volatile..Nobody knows where it is heading..
Is it South or is it North?? Maybe the one who guesses it right would be earning huge..
After every news analyst views changes i.e one day the person says that market is now going to go up since it has botttomed out but the next day the same view changes..
Its tough to make predictions & also time the market. People make this mistake again and again but dont learn from their mistakes. Its shocking but true.
14000 or 10000 who will get it right..Why are we not able to understand the macro and micro factors. We usually miss them & make an error in judgement. We should concentrate on those things also. How effectively we can do it, will make a big difference..
More to come ..
Keep commenting

Profiles of the Senior Batch - MBA

Name: Bharat Oswal ( MBA Finance 2006-2008)
Company: Avalon Global Research , Dadar
Profile: Analyst

Description of Work -

Research is what i am doing in short. This is the kind of profile which every MBA wants to start its career with. I am doing primary as well as secondary research. Research is not just googling. It is much beyond that. How to use paid as well as unpaid resources is the key to the success of research. Clients are of our company are mostly multinational. The kind of approach which we follow is highly professional.

Research needs lots of patience as well as good understanding of how to use & analyze the data. We keep on learning some new things every time but data is not easily avalaible. More to come....

Do put your profiles too so that we can help our juniors...

Placement Preparation

Placement season is going to start soon..
Pressure will start building as the dayz start progressing..
Its now upto us to stand up and deliver the goods..
Company , Package , Profile ????
What should give more importance to ???
Its tough to decide what priority should we give..But follow some simple rules..
1. Find out your strengths & weaknesses..Start analyzing rite now before its too late...
Work on your weaknesses to make urself better than others.
2. Communication - Most important thing in placement..If you cannot communicate well then there is very minimal chance you will get a good placements..
Knowledge + Communication = Good Placement
Knowledge - Communication = Doubtful Placement
3. Start working on your domain aspect..Poor domain knowledge will make you more frustrated if you are not able to clear the rounds during placements.
4. Beyond domain there are things which you need to work on like you should whats happening in economy , Inflation , Stock market , IIP no.s etc.. You should now start reading not only newspapers as well as magazines like Business Today , Dalal Street.
5. Aptitude - The 1st step would alwayz be to clear the apti test..Start working on that aspect before it becomes too late..Every company has its own criteria..So it might be one of the toughest if its TCS.
** Criteria varies from company to company..
Economy overall is not doing well but if we make ourselves well equipped then nobody can stop us from getting the best placement..Its not neccesary we will get into the best company but keep urself flexible as far as the package is concerned. At start its better to start with a good profile..
The more you learn & apply the better you will be..
More coming up..
please come up with more ideas to help each other.

What is MBA?

What is MBA...
In theoretical terms it is Masters of Business Administration...
In practical terms really do we use it..We only do n use what is bookish knowledge.People never go beyond that.
Why it is been said n proved tht 95% of Graduates & Post graduates are unemployable?
Its been proven people stop using brains when they should be using it...
People dont go beyond text books, pragati n sharp..why is the education system still narrow minded...why is still more importance given to marks and not the knowledge>?
People cnt read newspaper jst bcz its boring...
Never forget u stop readin tht means u stop learnin..tht usually happens once u start working..
Make it a point tht u observe evrythin n analyze...
More still to cm...But we need to find answers to all these problems...
