Doing Masters in Enterpreneurship and Innovation from the "University of Luxembourg"

  • My name is Nilutpol Borah. I am currently pursuing a one year full
    time Executive PGDM (AICTE And HRD Ministry Approved) in Marketing &
    Operations Management from International Management Institute (IMI),
    New Delhi (June’08-May’09).I' am a B.E Mechanical Engineer from MANIT
    (Formerly REC)-Bhopal. After completing my graduation from a premier
    Engineering Institute, I decided to start my Career in the Automobile
    Sector with an Automobile Component Major Usha Shriram Pistons &
    Rings. I graduated professionally to a Two Wheeler Major, Honda and
    finally my last stint was with a Four Wheeler Major, Maruti Suzuki
    India. In these 5 growing years , I have taken up a variety of
    assignments in Process Engineering, Plant Expansion, Procurement &
    Vendor Development, New Model Development, Quality, Planning and
    Production.

    At Usha Shriram Piston & Rings, I was primarily responsible for
    Process Quality. I was responsible for Process Capability Study and
    Analysis using SPC, SQC, and Six Sigma Techniques. I shouldered the
    co-ordination and execution of PPAP, APQP and FMEA studies as a part
    of plant TS-16949 requirements for New Product development. I was a
    prime mover in Root Cause Analysis and Problem Solving of customer
    complaints of OEM’s using various QC tools. Also I was assigned
    various Industrial Engineering projects related to cost, productivity,
    quality, rejection and manpower. I managed one direct report and 30
    indirect reports and reported to Head-Piston Ring Business Unit. Here
    I learnt about Process Engineering and Quality concepts and various
    systems like TS-16949, TPM, QS-9000,ISO 9001,ISO 14000.

    After this preliminary experience in Process Quality and Engineering I
    decided to move on to Learning and Managing the Quality aspects of a
    two wheeler in Honda Motorcycles & Scooters India. My responsibilities
    included the Quality Assurance & Control of Scooter
    (Active/Dio/Eterno) Business Unit. I undertook the Root Cause Analysis
    and Problem Solving of Warranty Claims and Customer Complaints. Also I
    lead the Plant Project Expansion activities. Besides this I
    contributed in various projects for Productivity, Quality and Cost
    Improvement. I lead and co-coordinated Design, Trial Production and
    Mass Production Trials for New Model Development. Developed Vendor
    Capability and Line Balancing for New Models. In addition to this I
    handled the Analysis and Countermeasures for Daily MIS, Monthly
    Internal Review (MIR), Section Performance, Top defects Report to VP-
    Operations. I managed two direct reports and 90 indirect reports and
    reported to Head-Assembly Business Unit. Here I gradually evolved into
    a Quality leader with added skills of Project Management and Plant
    Expansion.

    My last assignment before joining IMI-Delhi was with Maruti Suzuki
    India Ltd. I was responsible for the Strategic Operations of Alto &
    Zen Business Unit. I ensured maximum profitability and full
    production levels were met with; while simultaneously performing
    safety, quality, cost, and inventory management within operating
    budget constraints. I Formulated, Planned, Executed and Monitored key
    Organizational targets of Customer complaints, Warranty Claims, Direct
    Pass Rate and Global Customer Audit. Also I undertook various cross
    functional projects related to Productivity, Quality, Safety and
    Employee Welfare. I managed 12 direct reports and 180 indirect reports
    and reported to GM- Alto & Zen Business Unit. This proved to be an
    important building block of my career and groomed my managerial
    capacity as an Operations Lead. This was coupled with my prior
    knowledge of Quality, Process Engineering, Systems, Plant Expansion
    and New Model Development.

    Here at IMI, I am getting firsthand knowledge about the holistic role
    of a Marketing Manager with a background in Manufacturing. With
    credits in courses like Rural Marketing, Retail Marketing, Integrated

    I had a few queries in Mind
    1) How relevant is this course for me?
    2) Will it add any extra value addition to my academics since the
    course curriculum is more of a general MBA which I'am pursuing
    anyways?
    3) What are the job opportunities after this course?
    4) Whats are the prospects of returning back to India.?
    5) what would be the total expenditure?
    6) What is the Ranking of this university & the course?

    I would be really thankful if you advise me like a younger brother
    rather than a brand ambassador of the college and the course.
    Also please mail me any chat ID that you have so that I could have an
    indept discussion with you.

    Looking forward to hearing from you soon.


    Thanking You,
    Yours Sincerely,
    Nilutpol Borah
