Vidya Dubey being felicitated by Anna HazareLife goes on, whether you choose to move on and take a chance into the unknown or stay behind, locked in the past, thinking of what could’ve been. Vidya Dubey chose the former and went on to become the Relationship Manager in the Wealth Management department of YES Bank Ltd. She was a laid back girl during her school days, like any other kid of her age, but as she grew up she realized that there was something much bigger beyond it. ‘Godfather’ is the word one uses for a person who gives us a lift, but for Vidya it was the undercover recruiter in the name of Sir Bala who changed her life from being ‘I want’ to ‘I did’. Vidya is also thankful to her mother Kiran, father Vinay and her sister Shourya who have been the pillars of her success.
A Commerce graduate from Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, she chose the right college to move ahead in life. Balaji Institute of Modern Management showed her the way and gave her a new lease of life, as she converged into the corporate world by spending time with the right people and maintaining a proper balance in life. It was Vidya’s post graduation stint which changed her life.
Balaji Institute of Modern Management works all the 365 days of the year without holidays, which is incidentally, the only college in the country to do so. Campus placement is the key note of any institution, where students wait for the call, perform well during the interview and come out triumphant. Vidya, though an amateur when she first entered the college, her two-year stint made her a perfect candidate for the interview. “I lacked confidence throughout my life, until I joined this college which changed me completely and I accepted the change with my whole heart and soul,” recalls Vidya. The management college acted as her regulator which changed her life style. “It was my first stepping stone to success, which made me realize how satisfying it was to follow a routine and a fixed schedule, and this is inculcated in me forever now.”

And among them was Leela Poonawala, whom Vidya always wanted to meet, as she felt she was the best person to speak about management. It was not just academics, but getting involved in different meets of the college such as HR, to name a few. This gave Vidya a boost and she grabbed it with both her hands. Besides, the cultural events in the college too gave an opportunity for students to exploit their inner talent.
It was the corporate relationship team of the college which guided the students to higher levels, especially when it came to placements. There were many who played their role of molding the students to get set for the placement day, and among them was Dimple who with many years of experience shared her thoughts with the students, year after year. She trained the team and made them more focused in documentation and soft skills. It was maintaining a balance between academics and placements which was the key to success.
Out in the wilderness Vidya

Learning to work for others is different, and brings the highest satisfaction, which one cannot express in words. “Helping our batch mates getting into big companies, through knowledge, communication, confidence, public speaking and handling HR is the path to success,” says Vidya.
Being positive in her approach and always wanting to learn were some of the qualities that helped her to be selected by Yes bank. “Knowledge was definitely a prerequisite but then I thought over and realized the many qualities this college has already taught me, which were now a part of me,” said Vidya, who was appreciated for her CRT work, by none other than Shri Anna Hazare.
