My True GGI Fellowship Experience

”Hi, I am Aayushman from Delhi.

And I'd be joining INSEAD this fall.

I had updated my application to INSEAD with my GGI Impact Fellowship offer, post which within few days I was also invited to join INSEAD.

--

I completed civil engineering from University of Hong Kong.

I had a brief stint in entrepreneurship, after which I started working in a Fortune 500 infrastructure consulting firm. I have over 6 years of experience in this space.

I wanted to pivot to management consulting post MBA. Last year, between this pivot, and that is when I found out about GGI.”

Q- What are the 3 things you learned at GGI ?

“I got a lot of confidence in my ability to crack management consulting through the masterclasses.

The guest speakers and the co-founders shared great insights into the field.

Coming from an engineering background, it was all very new to me.

2nd, the diverse cohort provided great learning opportunities.

There was a lot of peer learning taking place in break out rooms.

Finally, I was pleasantly surprised that I could connect with people and make meaningful #bounds despite the classes being online.

Overall, my experience on a personal and professional level has been great.”

Q- So, what would be your advice for the cohort of 2024 ?

“Keep a very #open mind.

I made this mistake where I went into the GGI ecosystem with a niche mindset of focusing on management consulting. Eventually, due to the masterclasses, I started finding #impactinvesting and #publicpolicy interesting as well.

Being open to all kinds of opportunities and learnings, will give you the chance to explore yourself as a person- introspect and find out what you really want to do.

Enjoy the process.

The program is built in a manner that will enable you to get the most out of it.”
