Your videos are extremely useful and helping us as it is way informative but I just like to add that due to constant repetition of same thing thrice and more your videos tends to be longer, instead of beating around the bush it is better to be on point.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I have heard about people struggling during their MBA and that makes the B school aspirants very scared. And when we seek advise, invariably the advice is always unhelpful: baad mein sikhna....abhi chill maaru.

Does udemy certificates of excel and others skills will give advantage during placement or it is enough to learn it from KZbin

[@DarpanSaxena]

Roshan. See, certificates as such only help you fill up your CV. No recruiter is going to get impressed by your Udemy certificates. But, the reason why you do these courses is so that your knowledge increases and you are a better professional. Even if you have all certificates but no knowledge, no retention, it’s a waste.

Duration of the course?

[@herculesbaba]

Is mba in operations having a promising career in the near future , as ai and automation is going to reduce jobs , is operations (mba) a safe side?

[@DarpanSaxena]

MBA in operations is intact one of the three fastest growing careers apart from Fintech, and Prod Man/Tech man, in general. The reason - you have so many companies now that thrive on operational excellence - Zomato, Swiggy, Ola, Uber, Blinkit, Delhivery etc.

i will be appearing for cat 2025. Should i purchase this course now or next year?

[@DarpanSaxena]

Are you talking about “How to B-school” course? I’m covering crucial things in it as to what specialization could you choose and how to select it. Once you have clarity of that you can start Upskilling and build good talking points for your admission interviews. Therefore, you could buy it now when I launch it next week. Or even if you buy it after CAT 25, that’s also fine. Depends entirely on how eager you are.
