One Last Time • Ep 02 ft. Bhavani Sushmitha

We’re back with our second guest of the series “One last time”, and we have on air none other than the Ms. Fresher of '17 batch and an incoming grad student at IIM Ahmedabad ‘23, Ms. Bhavani Susmitha. 

Just like the rest of us, she struggled to find herself in the first few days of college but her charm, grit and dedication to pursue her passion prevented her from getting lost in the crowd. 

Tune in to hear more about her life in campus from her love for dance and experience in the core sector to tips on securing research internships and ultimately her decision to apply for an MBA program. Also the secret to having no regrets about her college life.
