Need help connecting with current MBA students to get their perspective on our concept

By Saurabh Adeeb on 12 Comments / 1487 views

Hey folks,

We’re a young startup based in Gurgaon building an online platform for colleges to help their students become more industry-ready. Do check out Bizkoot for a broad understanding of what we’re planning to do. 

There’s a significant gap in the knowledge and industry-readiness that fresh B-school grads possess and what the employers expect. According to ASSOCHAM, only about 10% of MBA grads (barring those from top tier schools) are employable. Using a dedicated platform on the cloud, colleges can ensure students have the ability to apply theoretical concepts to real-life problems, develop their knowledge and awareness in the industry and function of their choice, and unleash the power of social and blended learning in their college community.

We have some things in mind and we’d love to understand if it appeals to the student community – you may want to call it Customer Development.

If anyone here is an MBA student or can connect us with current B-school students for a quick chat (Skype, Hangout, or in person), it would be of immense help. Let us know and the beer will be on us! 🙂

  1. hi saurabh,

    could you pls add the website link of bizkoot if that’s the platform you are referring to? helps other rodinhooders check your site out…

    also, am sure we have some rodinhooders who are mba students as well…!

  2. Hi Asha,

    Thanks! Sorry I missed adding the website in my original post. I’ve edited it and added some other details as well. I hope Rodinhooders would be able to help… either through connections or through their words of advice.

    Looking forward to hearing from the community. 🙂

  3. Hi Saurabh, liked the concept, my brother is in XLRI, let me know how to get in touch with you and take this thing further?

    Regards

  4. Thanks so much for reaching out and offering to help, Peeyoosh! Your brother can write to us at contactus@bizkoot.com, saurabh@bizkoot.com or shantanu@bizkoot.com. 

    Much appreciated! 🙂

  5. hmmmm… how many ‘experts’ have you signed up?

    I wanna be a ‘gaming expert’ but just don’t have the time to share 1 on 1 

    Thats why I blog

    Curious – the idea is great ; the demand is there (of students), but where is the supply (of guru’s with time?)

  6. i am doing mba from JBIMS..tell me

  7. You should check out Management Paradise (MP) is a site with the mission of empowering management students with knowledge, opportunities and networks. For the last eight years, MP has been serving the student community and making this mission a reality.

  8. Hey Alok,

    You make some interesting points. Clearly, lack of time is a problem for both, students as well as industry people. The platform aims to allow students to learn on their own schedule. Moreover, in the 1st phase, we intend to tap into our own network of “experts” and any other good Samaritans that agree to help. 😉 

    We don’t intend this to be a 1:1 mentorship solution (at least not initially) – there are other solutions in the market that are doing that. We’re building a knowledge hub that enhances classroom learning and also helps students develop a strong industry perspective. I’d love to share the idea in more detail with you – maybe I could send across a short deck on the same. Don’t think connecting 1 on 1 would be possible given your busy schedule, would it?

  9. Hi Mufaddal, thanks for reaching out. If you’re in Delhi/Gurgaon, can we meet in person? Or could we do a skype/hangout sometime? You can write to me at saurabh@bizkoot.com. Thanks again!

  10. Thanks Darshan! Will definitely check it out.

  11. Thanks for the mention darshan. I scrolled to reply to this post and offer help and was pleasantly surprised to see our name referred here already 🙂

    Saurabh, feel free to connect on the co-ordinates mentioned above.
