Students in an IIM Ahmedabad classroom

IIM-Ahmedabad MBA Grad: Lessons I Learned At McKinsey

NDTV: “Ruchi Aggarwal, an alumna of IIM Ahmedabad and now the founder of Mumbai-based mentorship firm Mentoresult, recently reflected on a defining lesson she learned-not in a classroom, but at McKinsey.

“When I joined McKinsey, I realised my degree from IIM Ahmedabad wasn’t enough,” said the 30-year-old. “I lacked what they called the ‘executive filter’.”

She recalled her first client presentation at the consulting firm. “I had prepared 15 recommendations, thinking I’d let the partner pick what worked best. But mid-way, the partner cut in: ‘Ruchi, just tell me the one thing we should do.’ I froze,” she admitted. “I was ready with a menu of options-but in the real world, senior executives want clarity, not a list.”

That moment was a wake-up call for her, showing the gap between academic knowledge and real-world decision-making.

“At IIM-A, it was about how much you knew. At McKinsey, it became about how clearly you could communicate it,” she said.”

Baltimore Orioles President to Deliver Tuck Investiture Address

Dartmouth College: “This June, as the Tuck community gathers to celebrate the class of 2025, they will be met by a rising star in the world of professional sports.

Delivering this year’s Investiture address is Catie Griggs D’03, T’09, president of business operations for the Baltimore Orioles. Griggs, a native of North Carolina who found a second home at Dartmouth—first as an undergraduate and again as an MBA candidate—returns to Hanover this spring on the heels of making Major League Baseball history not once, but twice.

Last July, Griggs became the first woman to be named president of business operations in the storied history of Baltimore’s MLB franchise. Prior to joining the Orioles, Griggs was the first woman in franchise history to hold a president title with the Seattle Mariners. As one of the top-ranked female executives in baseball, Griggs hopes to help other women see themselves on the business side of sports.

“Different people bring different viewpoints, and that’s critical to success,” Griggs told the Washington Post.”
