'I see myself as a different person than I was before I graduated from ISB. It changed my world and world view. People who know me can make out the stark difference in how I have begun to communicate and process thoughts.' 

While Sucharita was passionate about her work and enjoyed it, the need for a better understanding of an organization's business nuances grew stronger with time. She needed to get a holistic understanding of the HR cog in the wheels of business. 'I could feel a gap somewhere. I felt the need to evolve my perspective. I needed an edge vis-à-vis other contenders nursing a similar ambition. This is where the need to invest in learning arose.' Sucharita searched for options and advice from a colleague, a PGPMAX alumnus, who came in handy. A world-class institute was in the neighborhood. 

'ISB is well suited for executives. It has such an amazing array of world-class faculty having varied experiences. The campus, the library, all of it gave me a sense of upliftment.' What once seemed like a drudgery became a pleasurable experience, she says about case studies. 'Reading a case study but was never a joy to me, but I soon began enjoying it because of how it connected with the topic.' The diverse experience of her peers, their diversity of thoughts expanded her horizon. 'All of that gave me a different perspective and taught me that the ability to handle diversity was important as a leader. One must not be limited to just their own limited thoughts and learning. Situation in the class was a simulation of the real-world—circumstances which required a diversity of thoughts to negotiate strategy, employee etc.' Getting a grasp of different situations, different people, and the ways to deal with them was valuable learning for her.
