Change ...

I have been wanting to change the theme of this blog for some time now, was low for the past few weeks because of flu and now I have to begin packing for the move to Phily. For the past year, I have written about my experiences during my bschool applications. Hopefully my thoughts are helping others who are currently in the same process. Now I plan to write about my bschool experiences.

My background (education and work experience) has been in software technology. In my early school days, I had used the computer to develop a system that solved a problem in my school. That made me realize the power of technology to make a difference in people's lives and pushed me towards the field of software technology. During the past few years, while working as a software engineer, I also got involved in creating IT and growth strategies for small businesses and entrepreneurs. These experiences propelled me to think about my career goals. I thought about in terms of what kinds of problems exist, what I would like to solve, and what knowledge I would need to solve these problems. Business school education would help me in pursuing my goals. So I applied to the bschools.

I have spent the past few days talking to people from industry, entrepreneurs, VCs, recent Wharton alumni gaining insight into MBA education and careers. I feel that the decision to pursue MBA education is the right one for me. My current interests revolve around technology business, entrepreneurship ideas, venture capital, emerging markets, microfinance and some things in the web 2.0 space. I hope to channel my wharton activities around these things and having fun, while learning new things, meet new people and blog about these things.
