Female founders in the UK receive dramatically less funding than their male counterparts. In 2021, despite unprecedented levels of capital raised within private markets, only 1% of venture capital funds went to all-female founded teams in comparison to 90% to all-male founded teams (CEE Report, 2021). This is a missed opportunity. Up to £250 billion […]

One term done, two more to go! I am beyond excited to go through Hilary: Now that most of the core business classes are behind us, make way for the “raise-hell-and-change-the-world” modules!

My memories of Hilary term will be with me a long time. Yes, there was a nationwide lockdown. And between the lockdown and the cold, dark winter, it was hard to say which was more depressing.

It seems wild to imagine that six months of the Oxford MBA programme has passed. When looking back, I’m amazed at the growth that’s occurred, and a large part of that has been through conversations with classmates, professionals, mentors, and professors – connections that, I feel, are available to me due to Oxford and its […]

This question haunted me long before I came to Oxford. In my former company, I worked on a project in which I was supposed to help my colleagues in our headquarters to introduce a newly developed product into the local market.

Like any great adventure, time does truly fly. It seems like yesterday my family and I were packing our “life” in a few bags to move to Oxford. It has now been almost 8 months since our big move; Michaelmas and Hilary term have come to an end, which means we are more than halfway […]

I packed my bags overnight and came home to India, in the middle of my MBA. I don’t know if I will ever sit in the lecture room or go for serene walks near the river stream behind my apartment, or if I will ever attend MBA get-togethers with my people. It’s like I have […]
