In her double-degree Masters in Management and MSc in Corporate Finance and Banking, with 12 months of internship in between, Shoumi pursues her passion for finance and business every day. Outside school, she perfects her French and understanding of European and International cultures by maintaining a vibrant social life with students from over 50 countries. Overall, as she aptly puts it, “I'm being challenged everyday and I love it!” Asked why she chose France over more common destinations, such as the US and the UK, Shoumi replies, “France as a higher-education destination Shoumi Mittra - Alumnus HR College is underestimated. With its emphasis on excellence, easy access to the rich culture of Europe, beautiful language and favorable work visa rules, France has a lot to offer. I have always been determined to study there.” EDHEC's campus is located approximately 5 mins from the Nice airport, on the famous 'Promenade des Anglais'. From the classrooms, while she studies valuation and corporate governance, there is an excellent view of planes taking flight, trees swaying with the sea breezes and a glittering azure ocean. On a daily basis, she speaks to people of diverse nationalities and backgrounds, from Ugandans to Russians, from fresh undergraduates to people with 5 years of intense work experience. “Everyday, I must push myself to become better, so I can make a meaningful contribution in class and have enriching discussions with my peers and professors. It's been quite a challenge.” Life outside EDHEC, as well, has presented challenges to her. “I have never lived away from my parents and handled chores along with my studies!”, she says with a laugh, “One of the biggest challenges has been to juggle assignments, studies, a social life, internship applications and household tasks. Never did I imagine that so much of my time would be spent in cooking!” She, however, admits to having progressed greatly in her ability to live by herself, “Not only did I set up my own bank account, but I pay rent, I do groceries and I pay for my own health insurance and utilities. It feels, at the same time, intimidating and invigorating to have such independence!” In France and at EDHEC, dreams must be ambitious and targets must be set high. Thus far, as a social media ambassador of EDHEC, Shoumi updates the internet world on her life at EDHEC and her accomplishments. These include becoming class representative of her cohort, a member of the disciplinary committee and a top ranker in her programme's first semester results. Additionally, with a Spring Internship at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in April 2016, Shoumi exerts herself to succeed outside school. Her aim is to secure excellent gap-year internships and return for her MSc year with a plethora of practical work experience under her belt.

Hyderabad - The City of Nizams “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” Ayaan Ansari -Anonymous

We students at HR College stepped into the travel industry for the first time when we got an opportunity to travel as a team for one week to Hyderabad that needs to be explored and experienced. A very well informed tour guide was allocated to us. Hyderabad as a city had a beauty of its own. The Charminar had a very inspiring story behind its architecture. The Mecca Masjid was a huge magnificent mosque which would perfectly qualify as one of the 7 Wonders of the World. An old city yet modern in its cultures and infrastructures, where on one hand were the 1000 year old forts while on the other were huge commercial skyscrapers.

We had the opportunity to interact with the locals and learn hard work, talent and brilliant imagination. The people at about their cultures, traditions and lifestyle in Hyderabad.
