Hello!
My name is Ksheera and I'm currently studying in the Master in Strategy & Management of International Business (SMIB) program at ESSEC Asia-Pacific. Prior to joining ESSEC, you'd be surprised to know that my background was neither in management nor in finance - I was an Engineer at Google! And that’s how versatile the classrooms are in the SMIB program.
I came to this program with one aim - to explore career options with a business focus, and this program does a great job of preparing you for the business world. I am touring the spheres of consultants, strategists and even product managers here in my classroom, and through extra-curricular clubs and activities. In fact, did you know the opportunity to be a consultant is built into the program? You could also do pro-bono consulting with a student-run company. This program has all the application-based experience you’re looking for!
By applying to ESSEC, I switched careers, moved countries, and essentially overhauled my life, a crazy move that made for an interesting experience and has widened my horizons. And I hope to do the same for you - to listen to your story and help you decide if this is the right move and also guide you in ways you require. Hope to hear from you :)
