Mohan's Mantra

  • Keep things simple. Be calm, and do not be stressed. If you take up any task, make sure you are fully involved in it; and do not think about the consequences.
  • Whatever task you are undertaking, have clarity on why you are doing it. Clarity helps you focus your energy on the task at hand.

Students Speak!!!

If Mohan were interviewed - "Tell me something about yourself"

I am a bad engineer, a decent manager, a good educationist, and an aspiring author. I love Mathematics; and enjoy solving puzzles. I have done a lot of different things in my life, but it is only after going to a B-school did I find my calling, which is in the education sector. I aspire to be happy; and am ambitious about helping the society via education.
