IIM-Udaipur youngest B-school to feature in FT Management Ranking

Last year IIM-U became the youngest B-school in India to receive the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation and joined the elite group of 5 per cent of the world's B-schools. '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. The FT ranking assesses a variety of criteria, including alumni salary and career progress; value for money; school diversity (female faculty, students and board members); international experience and research; and student internships. After gaining AACSB accreditation in November 2018, IIM Udaipur became eligible to be considered for Financial Times MIM ranking 2019 which includes top B-schools from Europe, Asia and North America. 'IIM Udaipur has always approached management education as a journey of transformation. Being in the FT MIM Ranking is a validation of IIM Udaipur's focus on our long-term vision. Our accomplished faculty, 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 launching of the first-ever one year MBA in digital enterprise management for experienced professionals,' said Janat Shah, Director, IIM Udaipur.

Olympic Hockey Qualifiers: Us versus US

Till a couple of years ago, this would have passed off as wishful thinking. Not so much right now. Since that rout in Kazan, the two teams have routinely played against each other. Their physical and tactical superiority unwittingly turned USA into a gold standard for India even though they have not quite been the gold standard themselves in world hockey. But after a decade of losing to them, this weekend will be the first time in the 36-year competitive history between the two teams that India will enter a contest against the USA as equals. 'We feel we can beat them. So far, we had an underdog mindset but that is not the case anymore,' Rani says. Olympic Hockey Qualifiers: Daylight between India and Russia It's taken 18 months of relentless and borderline obsessive focus on improving the team's speed and structure to close this gap. And its genesis lay in an embarrassment at the biggest stage of all - the Olympics. The Rio Games were India's maiden appearance at the Olympics in more than 30 years. India hoped to show the world how much they had improved, but what they got was a rude reality check. The team scored just three goals, allowed 19 and finished last in the 12-team tournament. A few months after the debacle, Hockey India appointed Sjoerd Marijne as coach. 'When Sjoerd first joined the team, I think he would have thought, 'oh my god, what is this team!'' Rani says. Marijne, who coached the world number 1 Dutch women before coming to India, laughs that what surprised him more was that the players called him 'sir.' But then, he saw the team train. 'There was no speed at all. And they did not have much understanding of tactics,' he says. 'So what kind of structure are you going to play if your team does not have any speed? Are you going to do high press? But, you know, one ball and the opposition will overlap you. If you want to play counter, you don't have the speed… It was very difficult in the beginning.' Speed, structure Marijne and his assistant Eric Wonkink, both tactical nerds, and South African physio Wayne Lombard became fixated with improving these two aspects of the team. Every training session since early 2017, including the phase when Harendra Singh coached the team, has been used to make the girls quicker and fitter, which in turn helped enhance their understanding and implementation of structures and tactics. A similar approach in 2011 had worked wonders for the men's team and catapulted them into the top five of the world before they stagnated once again. As Marijne saw it, this was the only way to make sure the women's team did not have to wait another 30 years to play at the Olympics. It helped that the women's team was receptive to his ideas. 'They have leadership and are willing to take responsibility,' says Marijne, whose brief stint with the men's team ended because some players were not comfortable with his philosophy of players taking ownership for their decisions on field. The results were visible against USA, who else. At the Rio Olympics, the Americans had trounced India 3-0. Olympic Hockey Qualifiers: Daylight between India and Russia At the 2018 World Cup, India turned the tables and even though the match ended in a draw, it was enough to take India into the quarterfinals and knock USA out. 'They play with a lot of pace now,' USA captain Kathleen Sharkey says. A couple of years ago, such a comment would have been unthinkable for a team that looked like playing in slow-motion every time they stepped on the field. Now, the team can adapt and switch between playing long balls from the centre line, indulging in patient build-up by being strong on the ball, and create goal-scoring opportunities from set-pieces. This is perhaps the best-trained and most settled Indian women's team, with 10 players featuring in all tournaments this year. Of the 26 matches India has played, they have won 16 and lost just four, scoring on an average three goals every match. Given that they scored just three times during their entire 2016 Olympics campaign, this is a massive improvement. India have relied heavily on Gurjit Kaur's penalty corners for goals. Lalremsiami, Navneet Kaur, Vandana Katariya and Rani consistently chip in with field goals while Deep Grace Ekka leads the defence. In USA, however, India will face a bogey team - the 2018 World Cup result was seen as an improvement, but it was still only a draw. The inferiority complex that once gripped the team may have vanished, but USA remain tricky opponents. No one understands that better than Rani. 'After we lost the match in 2008, so many players who were towards the end of their career were in tears because they missed the opportunity to play in the Olympics,' she says. 'At that time, I did not know how important Olympics were to a player. Now I know that. And I do not want to experience that sadness.'

Lessons from Jat and Maratha Heartland

Lesson No 1: Modern-day politics yields no place for electoral tourism. Voters will thrash candidates and trash parties who do not show up and respect and reward those who do show up. This lesson is particularly important to those who believe in sulking as a political philosophy and invest in hope as a viable strategy. Lesson No 2: Voters long on Modi and short on BJP. Over 60 per cent of those who voted for the BJP named Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the work of the Central Government as reason for their choice as per the survey of India Today-Axis-MyIndia post-poll survey. But sentiment and trust alone is not enough. Voters, to borrow from stock market phraseology, may be long on Modi but will not hesitate to go short on BJP. Remember these states voted overwhelmingly for the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls. Lesson No 3: It's the economy stupid. The political economy is not yet at the tipping point but the scent of anger over agrarian distress and job losses is showing up in the results whether in Vidarbha, Western Maharashtra or rural Haryana. In Haryana farmers, farm labour, unemployed and those between 18 and 35 chose the Congress over the BJP (AxisMyIndia Survey). What is more significant is that failure to address issues led to an alignment of grievance and caste - the farmers , farm labourers, young unemployed voted for the caste warriors. Lesson No 4: Every team needs a captain. Empowerment of local leadership delivers - the need to choose a captain early is best represented by the results in Punjab, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. The Congress dilly-dallied on the leadership question for months, some say over a year. Eventually less than 40 days before the polls, it anointed Kumari Selja and Bhupinder Singh Hooda. The duo managed to pack a punch in a short time. While the BJP managed to hang on, it has had to kow-tow to the demands of the young Dushyant Chautala. In Maharashtra, confusion was confounded between two Chavans. If the party did surface it was thanks to Pawar who used his network to drag a reluctant ally along and campaigned for the Congress cousins. Lesson No 5: Quota is good but not enough. Devendra Fadnavis did well to walk across the aisle to make the quota for Marathas happen but it was not enough. While the BJP did well across social groups the improved showing of the NCP and Congress in Western Maharashtra, in North Maharashtra, in Marathawada and even Vidarbha, is a signal worth reading. Lesson No 6: Organisation matters. Mumbai, the economic hub of India, accounts for 36 seats in the house of 288 in Maharashtra. In 18 months, the Congress has seen three chiefs for Mumbai. The city has a vote share and the party does have a cadre in the city but there was no leader. The mess and mayhem has taken its toll on its showing. The Congress party in Mumbai was fighting but not in the elections and could not leverage public anger over the economy and job losses. Lesson No 7: Arrogance will be punished. The defeat of Pankaja Munde in Maharashtra and Capt Abhimanyu represent a trend. In Haryana, barring CM M L Khattar and Anil Vij, all eight other ministers were trounced. In Maharashtra, eight ministers from the Fadnavis cabinet were voted out. The public anger is about non-performance and the lack of sensitivity of ministers on issues - whether floods, drought or distress. Lesson No 8: Wooing turncoats can be treacherous. The BJP for some years has deployed an EXIM policy in politics - export unwanted and import from other parties. This has had consequences for the party. To start with, the majority of turncoats who left Congress and the NCP, for reasons ranging from survival to sustenance, were defeated. Secondly, the installation of defectors robbed loyal cadre of legitimate opportunity resulting in over two dozen turning rebels. Lesson No 9: The NOTA factor. None of the above, the choice to not vote for any candidate, is an emerging option. The NOTA factor is visible where politicos do not show up during a crisis or a catastrophe. It is estimated that over 7.4 lakh voters, up from over 4.2 lakh in 2014, hit the NOTA button to express their dissent on choice of candidates. Contrary to popular perception rural voters have weaponised the NOTA option far better than urban voters - as witnessed in Latur-Rural and Palus-Kadegaoan where NOTA stood second. Lesson No 10: What is the most surprising factoid of the poll results? The fact that the Congress did as well as it did given the perceptions about the party and its leadership. What is even more surprising is that Congressmen have not, as yet, credited the high command and a leadership which didn't know whether it was coming or going. That the party showed up and fought to survive another election seems to suggest there is life beyond the high command! shankkar.aiyar@gmail.com DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.

Indian men's hockey team sweep aside Russia, seal Tokyo spot

We just had to stay patient and they fought very hard,' chief coach Graham Reid said after the match.​ India recovered quickly, regrouped in the second quarter and put on a grand show as they won 7-1 for a 11-3 aggregate to clinch their berth to 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In the end it proved a cakewalk, a result befitting India's ranking as world No. 5. The forwards, led by the seasoned SV Sunil, were in great form as they left the Russian defence that had thwarted them repeatedly on Friday, in tatters. Russia again crowded the defence and looked to capitalise on the counter but India were prepared, prising open the defence with smart passing and hard running.​ India bagged five penalty corners, converting four. Experienced drag-flicker Rupinder Pal Singh, who had struggled on Friday, was his old self and converted two goals. Amit Rohidas (60+) converted the final penalty corner while Akashdeep slammed home a rebound off the second PC.​ Akashdeep (23, 29), Lalit Upadhyay (14) and Nilakanta Sharma (47) were the other scorers. ​ India earned their first penalty corner in the seventh minute but Harmanpreet Singh could not score. They created pressure but the visitors held on to their lead until the first quarter ended.​ Upadhyay, handed his 100th cap, scored the equaliser when he deflected in a shot by Hardik Singh. Akashdeep then converted a rebound after a flick by Harmanpreet Singh was blocked by the goalkeeper. India made it 3-1 when Akashdeep scored on the stroke of half-time, showing fine skill, running into the circle and slamming home a backhander.​ India were always in control in the second half and Rupinder Pal Singh scored off his first two attempts.​ 'The sequence was not working yesterday. But today, things worked well. It took time for me to get my rhythm back as I was playing a competitive match after some time. When I scored my first goal, I was happy to get my rhythm back,' said Rupinder.​ Reid was happy with his boys as they scored both field goals and on PCs. With the job done, he now has nine months to plan for the Olympics.​ DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
