Dr. Amita Vijay, Associate Professor, Poddar Management and Technical Campus, Jaipur

In the dynamic landscape of higher education, where knowledge evolves rapidly and industries undergo a constant transformation, mentorship stands as a timeless cornerstone of effective learning and professional growth. Nowhere is this truer than in the field of management, where the cultivation of leadership skills, strategic thinking, and adaptability are paramount. At Poddar Management and Technical Campus, we understand the profound importance of mentorship in shaping the future leaders of tomorrow. Poddar Business School therefore ranks as the number 1 B-School in Rajasthan and 30th all over India. The Poddar Business School not only has the hard skills but also the soft skills that are required to run an efficient business or start-up.

Nurturing Talent

Management education extends far beyond textbooks and lectures. It encompasses real-world application, experiential learning, and the development of soft skills that are essential for success in today's competitive business environment. Mentorship plays a pivotal role in this holistic approach to education by providing students with personalized guidance, support, and insights garnered from the mentor's own experiences.

Wisdom Passed Down

In the realm of management, theory can only take one so far. The true essence of leadership and strategic decision-making often lies in the nuances and complexities of real-world scenarios. Mentors, with their years of industry experience, offer invaluable perspectives that cannot be gleaned from course materials alone. They provide students with a bridge between theory and practice, offering practical advice, sharing anecdotes, and imparting wisdom that can only be acquired through firsthand experience.

Fostering Growth Mindset

Effective mentorship goes beyond mere instruction; it fosters a growth mindset that empowers students to embrace challenges, learn from failures, and continuously strive for improvement. By serving as role models and offering constructive feedback, mentors instil confidence in their mentees, encouraging them to push their boundaries, explore new opportunities, and develop the resilience needed to navigate the complexities of the business world. Poddar Business School has partnered with Rajasthan Skill University to enhance the skill sets of all the students. To establish a profitable business, it is necessary to have a command of communication skills, leadership skills, critical thinking skills and several other skills.

Building Networks

In today's interconnected world, success often hinges on the strength of one's professional network. Mentors not only provide guidance but also serve as gateways to invaluable networking opportunities. Through mentorship programs, students can connect with industry professionals, alumni, and other experts, expanding their network and gaining access to a wealth of resources that can enhance their career prospects.

Cultivating Leadership

Great leaders are not born; they are made. Mentorship plays a pivotal role in nurturing the next generation of leaders by instilling in students the essential qualities of leadership, such as integrity, empathy, resilience, and vision. By serving as mentors, seasoned professionals have the opportunity to impart these vital leadership traits to the leaders of tomorrow, shaping the future landscape of business and management.
