Diwali marks the New Year for some,

but the season has benefits for every-

one. The first is that cities, homes, shops,

temples and just about everything else

are glowing. In anticipation of Diwali, fam-

ilies, friends and shopkeepers decorate

and glorify their homes and businesses,

assembling elaborate floral arrange-

ments, bright lights, and neon stream-

ers. The streets sparkle in the evening,

and fireworks burst throughout the night

of Diwali.Diwali experience included a

candlelit dinner and lots of festive sparks

as It was a special occasion, indeed.

The second bonus of Diwali season

is the shopping. Everyone shops. This

was an unexpected but welcome tradi-

tion, particularly for my partner. The

Diwali festival is dedicated to Goddess

Laxmi and Lord Ganesha. Celebrators

pray to these powers for wealth, peace

and prosperity. One way celebrators do

so is by wearing new outfits, making once-

a-year purchases and exchanging cher-

ished gifts with close friends and loved

ones. We were inspired by the

merriment and shopped ‘till we

dropped: handwoven rugs, cashmere

shawls, camel bone jewelry boxes, ruby

earrings and gemstone bracelets for our

moms, lots and lots of suiting — always

getting the “Diwali Discount” thanks. The

shopping was a dance at times, but it

was fun and friendly, and we shared mem-

orable moments

The general popularity of the festival

is a third reason why Diwali is such a

special time to visit Rajasthan. Schoolkids

have vacation, local businesses are

booming, markets are abuzz, and some

revelers go on holiday themselves. Spirits

run high and you can feel the excitement.

Diwali provisions and traditions are bold

and eye-catching, from decadently sweet

mithai concessions to equally indulgent

patchworks made of vintage wedding

dresses. The festivities can extend for

days beyond the actual night of Diwali,

Reporting Fact of the Matter Weekly

Udaipur: “IIM Udaipur has always

approached management education as a jour-

ney of transformation. Being in the FT MIM

Ranking is a validation of IIM Udaipur’s focus

on our long-term vision. Our accomplished fac-

ulty, outstanding alumni and talented students

have enabled us to make rapid progress on

our path of continuous growth and innovation.

Our most recent step on this path was the launch-

ing of the first-ever one year MBA in digital

enterprise management for experienced pro-

fessionals,” - Janat Shah, Director, Indian

Institute of Management, Udaipur.

In less than ten years from its founding, IIM

Udaipur now becomes part of the prestigious

Financial Times (FT) Master in Management

(MIM) Ranking 2019.

FT MIM Ranking is recognized globally as

one of the key indicators of excellence for a B-

school. Until 2018, only three IIMs were part

of the FT MIM ranking - IIM Ahmedabad,

Bangalore, and Calcutta. In 2019, IIM Udaipur

joins this elite group in 76th position.

FT ranking assesses a variety of criteria

including alumni salary and career progress;

value for money; school diversity (female fac-

ulty, students and board members); interna-

tional experience and research; and student

internships. After gaining AACSB accreditation

in November 2018, IIM Udaipur became eligi-

ble to be considered for Financial Times MIM

ranking 2019 which includes top B-schools from

Europe, Asia and North America.

“IIM Udaipur started its journey with a clear

vision in place which included a commitment

to thought leadership in high-quality research

and to developing managers and entrepreneurs

amply prepared to be tomorrow’s leaders.

From day one the Institute has meticulously

designed programs and processes which have

helped us to be in FT MIM ranking today. As

an Institute we have always set lofty goals for

ourselves and such achievements give us the

confidence and motivation to aim higher,” said

Pankaj Patel, Chairman of IIM Udaipur.

With the exception of schools that were cre-

ated by merging existing institutions of long-

standing, IIM Udaipur is the youngest man-

agement school in the world in both the FT top

MIM 100 ranking and the QS MIM ranking. Last

year IIMU became the youngest B-school in

India to receive the AACSB accreditation

(Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of

Business) and joined the elite group of 5 per-

cent of the world’s B-schools.
