“Coming from a Science background, I was completely new to the field of Business Studies. Until I opted for a Business Studies minor at Krea, my knowledge and imagination of myself in this field were quite limited. However, after attending various courses taught by our very friendly faculty, I developed an interest in Business Studies. The courses were well-structured to ensure they contributed to developing the ability to identify and solve various problems, which I believe is a crucial quality for an entrepreneur. I learnt the important lesson that a single topic can be interpreted in multiple ways, and it is always better to choose the most effective approach. The group discussions and the practical aspects of the courses, including developing an idea for a startup, equipped me with entrepreneurial skills I had not previously recognised in myself and helped me stay updated with various business trends. I am truly thankful to Krea for helping me identify these skills, which are aiding me in building a successful career.”
