Warm greetings to each and everyone of you from Prakul Kumar, the Corporate Interaction Cell Head at SIBM, Hyderabad!
I hail from Delhi, holding a degree in Bachelors of Business Studies from Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, University of Delhi. Apart from pursuing my degree in college, I was actively involved in music and was part of the music society of my college called Dhwani, that brought many laurels to the college in various categories.
After completing my undergraduate degree in 2015, I joined my family business in Real Estate, wherein, I was looking after the primary sales of the business.
When I joined SIBM- Hyderabad in 2016, right from the beginning, I wanted to be a part of the Corporate Interaction Cell of the college and also Antardhwani Music, on the extra-curricular front.
My time and experience in the Corporate Interaction Cell has been amazing on every front, be it meeting with the corporates, learning to build corporate relations with the industry experts, pitching the corporates for guest lectures and various events, working cohesively with the other members of CIC, handling crisis situation, and so on and so forth.
In CIC I’ve been able to show my versatility by playing various roles whenever the cell wanted me to, from pitching to the corporates for guest lectures, setting up meetings with companies for sponsorship for the management and cultural fest of the college, preparing the blueprint and handling the ground work for events. All of this has been possible because of the learning and the motivation that I’ve got from my peers and seniors at every stage.
Apart from organising guest lecturers for students, CIC has organized a number of events in the past such as SymbiTalks and HR Conclave, which are the flagship events of the cell. The cell also organized a business event called SAMVAAD in FIRANDE 2017- Annual Management & Cultural Fest of SIBM Hyderabad.
