It is 3 am, the year 2008. Exams done, graduation in a month, convocation a week after that. Me and dorm mates were sitting and thinking about the two years that went by. A couple of years back, we were skeptical about how easy or difficult it will be to go back to college after having worked for a few years. No salary no more, the rigor of academics.

What else does it take to thrive in a competitive business environment? And to find answers to this was born – ‘From Cubicles 2 Cabins: a survival guide to your first job’
