My summer story unfolds, revealing a tapestry of experiences that have forever changed me. I knew my summer exchange experience would be something special the moment I stepped onto the vibrant campus of the University of Liverpool. I had no idea that the next three weeks would be a blur of enriching academics, breathtaking adventures, and meaningful connections with students from all over the world.
The University of Liverpool's dedication to creating a welcoming and supportive environment was clear from the start. Student coordinators greeted us with warm smiles, making us feel at ease in unfamiliar surroundings. This instant connection paved the way for long-lasting friendships, not only among my fellow exchange participants, but also among the local students who were eager to share their culture and experiences.
The academic courses for exchange students were carefully curated to go beyond textbooks, fostering an environment of active engagement and experiential learning. The courses—Group Psychology, Business Strategy, and Contemporary Leadership—brought learning to life through hands-on activities and real-world applications, demonstrating the university's commitment to our holistic development.
Group Psychology deciphered the complexities of human behaviour through interactive self-assessments and cross-cultural discussions. The classroom became a global microcosm, with students representing South Korea, the Netherlands, China, Australia, the United States, and other countries. What truly distinguished it was the innovative teaching approach, in which active participation was not only encouraged, but was essential to the learning process. I delved into my own behaviours through genuine self-assessments, while engaging discussions with classmates from various backgrounds provided new perspectives on group dynamics. This hands-on learning style was evident in courses such as Strategy and Leadership.
We weren't just studying theories from textbooks in the Business Strategy course; we were tasked with developing long-term strategies for hypothetical home businesses. This practical application of knowledge required us to think critically, strategize effectively, and collaborate effectively across our diverse teams. Meanwhile, the Leadership course took us on an introspective journey, allowing us to discover our individual leadership styles through interactive exercises. These experiences went beyond traditional classroom learning, leaving us with skills that go far beyond the classroom.
The University of Liverpool continued to provide us with unforgettable experiences outside of the classroom. Trips to the Lake District and the Castle of Wales were both breathtaking and educational. The breathtaking landscapes of the Lake District left us speechless, while the historical magnificence of the Castle of Wales transported us back in time. These trips not only showcased the picturesque wonders of the United Kingdom, but also encouraged participant bonding as we marvelled at the sights together.
What truly distinguished the University of Liverpool's exchange programme was its adaptability. We had plenty of time to explore the UK beyond its borders thanks to the university's thoughtful scheduling. The lectures were meticulously planned to give us opportunities to embark on our own journeys. Personally, I visited over ten cities in three countries, soaking in the bustling streets of London, delving into the rich history of Edinburgh, and savouring the tranquil landscapes of Chester. Each city left an indelible imprint on my summer, painting it with a palette of diverse cultures and experiences.
However, it was the bonds formed with fellow students that truly distinguished this exchange programme. Constant interaction with peers from all over the world broadened my worldview and deepened my appreciation for various cultures. Befriending people from different backgrounds exposed me to new perspectives and broadened my understanding of global issues and perspectives.
In retrospect, my time at the University of Liverpool was life-changing. Academic rigour, combined with engaging teaching methods and real-world applications, provided me with invaluable skills and insights that I will take with me throughout my academic and professional journey. Furthermore, the friendships formed and memories made will always have a special place in my heart.
As I reflect on my summer exchange, I am grateful to the University of Liverpool for organising such a memorable experience. My only hope is that future exchange programme participants will find my detailed write-up, which captures every aspect of this journey, useful in making their decision. Just as I was fortunate to embark on this adventure, I am confident that the University of Liverpool's exceptional summer exchange programme will broaden and enrich the lives of others.

Sustainability
Business sustainability
Business sustainability has become important since organizations recognize the need to coevolve while balancing the interests of the environment, society and economic success. Seamless business boundaries and the growing presence of the trans-nationals in developing nations particularly India, have also highlighted the hitherto ‘western’ concept of sustainability percolate into the boardrooms and the way that companies are thinking of business today.
Stakeholders like consumer forums, activists, informed customers and shareholders are demanding that businesses adopt a symbiotic approach (sustainability) rather than a predatorial approach across various functions such as product development, marketing, operations, finance and etc.
Stakeholders like consumer forums, activists, informed customers and shareholders are demanding that businesses adopt a symbiotic approach (sustainability) rather than a predatorial approach across various functions such as product development, marketing, operations, finance and etc.
At SCMHRD, there is a special emphasis on Corporate Sustainability as a result of which students are expected to study different aspects, perspectives and the business implications of sustainability for a given scenario. Starting with An Introduction to Sustainability in the first semester, students are familiarised with the concepts, terminology and the elements that comprise a sustainable business. It is expected that the efforts will sensitize the participants and encourage an alternate way of thinking such that they are better equipped to take on their roles as informed business leaders, entrepreneurs and change agents going forward.
Exchange Programme
MBA students at SCMHRD are provided with a number of opportunities at the Institute for developing a holistic vision. One such opportunity is through the Institute’s Student Exchange Programme. The strong and self-sustaining exchange programme has been designed to help the Institute serve its purpose better and enhance academic standards. Student Exchange Programmes have been established with leading schools in Europe.
An international exchange programme facilitates flow of ideas between academic institutions. Joint activities provide each school with better understanding of the methods and programmes of the partnering school and enhance knowledge and skills of students and faculty members alike. Students participating in the programme seek to broaden their academic and cultural experiences. The experience contributes immensely to building of management perspective and poise. Visiting students add to the diversity of knowledge & culture at the Institute, and enhance the effectiveness of its pedagogy.
SCMHRD has been seeking to establish an increasing number of exchange programmes with institutions having excellent academic standards.
Currently we have two exchange programs with Berlin School of Economics and Law and Telecom ecol de Management.
Berlin School of Economics and Law (BSEL) is one of the seven public universities of Applied Sciences in Berlin. I am enrolled as a dual degree student in a course Master in Arts(M.A.) in International Business and Consulting: Human Resource Management. The course runs in English. My class in an eclectic mix of students from various parts of eastern Europe, western Europe and Asia. The university conducts various corporate interactions and companies like PWC conduct career counseling sessions. The experience I stand to gain through interaction with students from diverse background, practical learning, and corporate exposure will definitely play a part in enriching my perspective and possibilities in the globalized world. I am grateful to be part of SCMHRD, Pune

Students Speak
Excellence is not an art but a habit. And the way SCHMRD shaped my life by directing a change in my thought process and learning trajectory. I owe a lot to it. From the curriculum to co-curricular activities to guest lectures and persistent guidance from faculty, the journey has been a great experiential learning in its own way. Being a marketing committee member, doing live projects etc. gave me a seamless practical exposure. For its indelible impact- Once an SCMHRDian, always an SCMHRDian.
Tanvi Tayal, Human Resources
Each and every single day at SCMHRD offered me a new learning as well as a new opportunity. From rigorous academic curriculum to live projects to corporate competitions to student committee activities, SCMHRD offers it all. Faculty at SCMHRD ensures that students receive the right support and guidance for holistic development. I am a proud member of Finance club. This committee added a B to my B-school experience. The scale of events and competitions organized by finance club gave me the right exposure to start my corporate life. My MBA helped me to develop the required skills and competencies to sustain in the dynamic environment and be recognised as a brand-brand SCMHRD in the industry.
Sugandha Sharma, Human Resources
The curriculum @ SCMHRD keeps you so engaged that it builds the character of a manager in you. In this challenging VUCA times where business demands flexibility, innovation and to deliver results in adverse demanding environment, the two years @ SCMHRD acts like a adaptogen and tailor the students to outperform and be successful future leaders. Being a part of S-REFLECT, I learned recipe of producing great results through a team, which is the key to success in any business. Committee work enhanced my scope of creativity and build a risk taking character in me. SCMHRD acts like a chalice with potion full of opportunities both intellectual as well as career building and it also teaches that nothing comes easily and learn the correct balance between when to collaborate and when to outrun.
Munish Sharma, Human Resources
From the friends I made to the group assignments to the committee work, all of it has influenced me to be a better person. While committee work not only put me through the rigour of a corporate life but also was a live space to explore the concepts learnt in classroom. And I should mention, the up to date curriculum will awe your mentor during your internship! If paraphrased, friends, curriculum and committee are the three chapters of my experience at SCMHRD
Abinaya K, Marketing
I learnt by participating in multiple extra-curricular & club activities I enhanced myself as an individual. Having a residential and compact campus one used to interact with others quite often which contributed towards knowledge sharing. Being a committee member and getting involved in related activities transforms you as an individual. There will be beneficial traits which one will develop while working for the committee which probably no one else could inculcate in the near future. The 2 years ware adventurous. You will enjoy the journey here, learn new things, make good friends and live every moment.
