I'm an arts major working in the communications space, planning to do an MBA. I've GMAT focus books and English seemed doable on my own. I've been using online resources to study Math but I'm very confused as to what to study and how to study. So I've decided to go for a coaching but I've no idea which coaching is actually good, especially for someone who doesn't come from engineering or other Math background. Jamboree is charging over a lakh for coaching plus counselling on admissions while there's Y axis which is charging much lower at about 50k but doesn't have many reviews. I also read reviews on Jamboree being the typical marketing institute and not worth for money. Has anybody actually taken up or know anyone who has taken up GMAT coaching that helped them? It's critical I start preparing now if I have to start my MBA in 2025. As there are a lot of business folks here, I would appreciate any genuine help you can send this way. Thank you

I am here in the event right now and completely blown away with the innovation and work Razorpay is putting in. 100% bullish with what they are building and the way they are doing it. Saw their new AI called Razorpay Ray, really good and with all the people from RBI, and other officials speak I think Razorpay is pretty well prepared for issues that Paytm is facing today. Really excited for what comes ahead. Tell me if you have any questions or thoughts. If you guys are here, meet up

At least 121 people died while trying to get Baba's Charan Dhul (dust of his feet). "The chaos unfolded when a massive crowd of devotees gathered to collect ‘Baba’s Charan Dhul,’ causing a commotion that led to a tragic stampede near a field where the Satsang was being held.  As devotees fell, others rushing towards the Baba's car did not bother and crushed them under their feet while trying to follow the vehicle."   According to the sources, the Baba, who served with the UP police before allegedly being sacked following a ‘sexual assault’ case, had also been booked a few years back after he claimed that he would infuse life into a dead child in Agra. Interestingly Bhole Baba’s name does not figure in the FIR lodged by the police in connection with the tragedy.

Hi fellow grapeviners, I came across few posts mentioning i am earning 60+ or 70+ lpa having 2.5 to 3 years of experience but age is only 23 or 24. I know this is too good to be real. Some iitians can do but are these people real? Please answer because these posts make me depressed i don't know why?

In my corporate experience, I have observed two kinds of leaders - 1) A hard task master, very high on IQ but more often than not low on EQ and 2) High on EQ, above avg on IQ. I as a manager/ leader fall under 2) and usually get work done without authority but I do experience at times, some peers and reportees taking advantage of my behaviour In my view, anecdotally I see type 1) leaders succeed more in corporates even if it comes at the cost of facing flak/hate from directs/indirects. One of my previous managers was unpopular for his toxicity but somehow I kind of built a decent bond with him. Once over drinks and dinner, he candidly told me, I'm not here in this organization for making friends and I'm here only to get results and he did deliver on results every year. My question is, can type 2 leaders even climb up the ladder specially where cut throat competition exists. Sometimes I do feel I need to be more like type 1 leaders obviously not at the cost of toxicity - disrespect, shouting etc. What are your thoughts?
