Down 1Crore Job Offer

Manasi Prasad, second-year PGDM student at IIM-B, let go of an opportunity to work in New York with Goldman Sachs for a handsome salary, simply because she wanted to pursue her first passion music.She bagged the job offer during her summer placements and spent two-and-half months in NY. "It was a fantastic experience for me. It was challenging to be working for one of the best banks in the world. But then, I had to get back. If I want to be a musician, I cannot do that in New York."Music is in my family. My mother is my first guru. I have been performing for the last 10 years, both in India and abroad," she said. An engineering graduate from BMS college of Engineering, Manasi grew up in Gulf and completed her Classes X and XII in Singapore.
