Currently, Pavan Sharma is employed at the digital division of a multinational company in India.
In regards to his preparation for securing the substantial offer, Pavan Sharma shared with ToI, “When it comes to placements at top B-schools, there is typically a baseline where nearly all candidates in the pool meet the required criteria. Therefore, companies present real-life scenarios for candidates to tackle. In my case, I was given a real-life scenario and asked to find a solution. It was not essential to immediately provide a solution or resolve the scenario, but the approach I took allowed employers to gain insight into my thought process.”
According to Pavan Sharma, companies seek individuals with an “entrepreneurial mindset,” and young business leaders must possess knowledge about the digital ecosystem.
