It was when Parul Dubey was studying for her electrical engineering degree in India that she read about London Business School’s plans to launch a masters in management (MiM) degree for recent graduates.
Dubey had already began to question her future career. “I realised the engineering lifestyle wasn’t a good fit for me,” she recalls, so she applied to LBS for its first MiM class, which started in 2009. On graduating from LBS she got her first job, working in London for Pimco, the investment management company.
But that is not the end of Dubey’s business education story. Today, four years later, she is halfway through her two-year MBA programme at Harvard Business School.
