I have pursued my undergrad in mechanical engineering and am a very hands-on-oriented person. For me, learning hard skills was an important part of growth and are almost mandated in this industry. I have already gained expertise in lean manufacturing, process optimization, and frameworks after having worked with ABC organization for close to 2 years. During this time span, I have learned a lot from the mechanical and manufacturing perspective but I have always admired the way my manager approaches the same situations and on conversations with him, it became clear that I had an inclination to learn more about business concepts and garner the managerial know-how of the same and see how the business perspective works in the manufacturing industry.
Pursuing an MBA from a leading premier B-School would only serve to further hone and enhance my skills and eventually help me land a managerial position in the manufacturing industry which is where I see myself in the future and where my skillsets and previous work experience would be put to more use.
