Hi! 👋 In today’s video, we're diving into the age-old debate: Should you do an MBA in India or go abroad? Like many of you, I also had dreams of studying at top international colleges like Harvard or LBS. I wanted to prove everyone wrong who thought a BCom graduate couldn’t make it big. But things didn’t exactly go as planned, and life took me to IIM Lucknow instead.

After chatting with friends who went abroad to schools like INSEAD and Imperial College, I got some eye-opening insights that changed my whole perspective on pursuing an MBA overseas. In this video, we’ll break down the real pros and cons of doing an MBA abroad—beyond just the social status and paycheck hype.

📌 We’ll cover everything from:

1️⃣ The truth about job opportunities and visa challenges 😬
2️⃣ The hidden realities of salary (spoiler: PPP changes everything!) 💸
3️⃣ Whether that “better lifestyle” truly lives up to expectations 🌍
4️⃣ Working culture abroad vs. India—what actually matters in your career 📈
5️⃣ And, of course, the social pressures around an overseas MBA (does it really add status?) 👀

If you’ve ever wondered whether moving abroad is worth the sacrifices or if an MBA in India could give you what you need, this video’s for you. Share your thoughts in the comments—I’d love to know what you think about this journey!
