Atharv Somani

Hello Everyone, My heart is brimming with joy as I share the news of my selection to the esteemed Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) at IIM Rohtak, Batch 07. This milestone fills me with gratitude for the unwavering support, guidance, and love from my parents, mentors, and friends. Your encouragement has been my strength, and I am deeply thankful for the role you’ve played in this journey. Special Mentions, Harsh Wardhan Somani, has motivated me at each stage of this journey whether it was mock analysis or those grilling mock interviews. Sakshi Somani and Rajat Rathi, thank you so much for those motivating coffee sessions and exam strategies that helped me during my exam time. Ajit Srivastava sir who was always there to help me whether it was regarding interviews or my prep. AfterBoards, platform that transformed my preparation with ease and consistency, constantly nudging me to push my limits with unwavering focus. And yes if you want to know better about my prep (the mistakes which I made and you shouldn't) you could connect with me. I would be happy to share my experience. ✨🌸

Did you land a summer internship? Did you complete that skill course? Did you win a case comp? Because if you didn't apparently your summer doesn't count. I don't remember summers feeling like this in school. Waking up early for cricket. Coming home sweaty and starving. Summer camp with friends where nothing was productive and everything was unforgettable. Eating mangoes like it was a competition. Screaming at the TV during IPL. Staying up till 2 AM for absolutely no reason. And when I used to come home after cricket My mummy would just say "Bhot Enjoy kar liya, Ab kuch productive kr" That same mummy today sees me on my laptop and says "Laptop band kar. Bahar Jake thoda enjoy kar." Nothing changed about her. Everything changed about my summers. Somewhere between school and now, summer stopped being a break and became a performance. This summer Relive your childhood days along with your Internship! What are your thoughts of this summer, tell me in the comments !? ✨

I finally finished my Term 1 of IPM at Indian Institute of Management Rohtak. The term was really a mirror for myself, How I perceive myself. This term made me realise how much more I can do than what I think. Its just about how much you believe in yourself. When I came here I had no idea how overwhelming its gonna be in starting and even the starting few days were tough but as like me there were several other batchmates of mine who had the same feeling but we stood up for each other and definitely our seniors too helped us finding the right choice and that's how we carved our way. So its 1st term of my college has passed but it has taught me how to survive the other 8 terms. One term down. Eight more to go!
