It was raining Mani in the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta campus Sunday afternoon. The renowned film-maker Mr. Mani Ratnam was on campus on an invitation from the Entrepreneurship Cell of IIM Calcutta. The MBA grad and ex-management consultant was here to speak about his experience across his interesting career path.
The function began with Mr. Ratnam being welcomed by thunderous desk thumping and cheering in the jam-packed lecture hall as he was received by members of the cell. In his characteristic soft-spoken style, Mr. Ratnam apologized for boring students on a weekend afternoon. He reminded the organizers of his condition that he would not lecture the audience and would prefer an interactive session.
He spoke briefly about his two years at a B-school, which he called the best two years of his life, starting off on a career as a management consultant and the gradual move towards film-direction. He narrated, as only a master film-maker can, his disillusionment with a formal job, the decision to give himself a six-month period to do something in films or move out, and his first break in Kannada movies, a language he knew nothing about. He stressed on how relatively easier it is for a fresh graduate to take risks like the one he did, drawing a parallel with other young entrepreneurs.
