I am from Mumbai, in India, a city that is a melting pot of cultures, people, businesses, dreams and is also a home to Bollywood.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I completed my Bachelor\u2019s Degree in <strong>Business Administration<\/strong>\u00a0in India, and during my second year of bachelors I was also a part of the <strong>Community College Initiative Program (CCIP) Scholarship<\/strong>. The CCIP scholarship is a US State department funded program, where students from different countries are given an opportunity to study in the US for a year. Due to my strong interest in marketing, <strong>I majored in this field while in the US<\/strong>. This gave me a stronger understanding of marketing, while making me even more interested in the subject. So, after finishing my bachelors in India, I was looking for a master\u2019s program to\u00a0enhance my marketing knowledge and skills.<\/p>\n<p>Than, I came across the <strong>Master in Marketing, Communication and New Media<\/strong> offered by BBS. I was immediately attracted by the <strong>international fast-paced program<\/strong>, which also gave the opportunity to have an important internship experience. The course structure was <strong>a mix of traditional and digital\u00a0marketing subjects<\/strong>, taught by international faculty members with an abundance of experience and expertise. Also, the <strong>strong community of alumni<\/strong>\u00a0and the vast network with global companies made it an even more exciting program.<\/p>\n<p>Another important reason for me to choose BBS was <strong>the city of Bologna<\/strong>! I have always been fascinated by the <strong>Italian way of life<\/strong>, \u201c<em>La Dolce Vita!\u201d\u00a0<\/em>and wished to experience it. From the culture, food, people, al the way to the beautiful architecture, Bologna is a door to discover the beauty\u00a0of Italy. The <strong>University of Bologna<\/strong> (which is the oldest university in the Western\u00a0world) also makes Bologna a great place for students from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>Now when I look back, I realize that this\u00a0master program was perfect for me. My experience at BBS has been amazing, as it enriched me with different <em>cultures<\/em>, <em>experiences<\/em>, <em>opportunities<\/em>, <em>knowledge<\/em> and <em>skills<\/em>. My class was <strong>a mix of very talented individuals with various backgrounds<\/strong>. Being the youngest in the program, it gave me the\u00a0opportunity to learn from everyone. This made me even more happy as I was able to interact, learn and work with the best people I have ever met. Moreover, the BBS business network made it possible for us to visit companies like <strong>TecnoFerrari<\/strong>, <strong>Google<\/strong>, <strong>Ducati<\/strong>,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>etc, but also to learn from faculty members coming from\u00a0companies like <strong>Lamborghini<\/strong>, <strong>Ferrari<\/strong>, <strong>Ducati<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Oracle<\/strong>. I have always loved motorcycles and cars, so being so close to the Motor Valley and learning from the best of the automotive industry, was a dream come true.<\/p>\n<p>My experience got even better when I got the opportunity to work as a<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<strong>Riding Experiences Marketing Intern<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0in\u00a0<strong>Ducati<\/strong>. Thanks to BBS\u2019 wide network and the dedicated <strong>Career Service<\/strong> team, I was able to get closer to my dream. I was lucky to have among my professors\u00a0<strong>Patrizia Cianetti<\/strong>, the <strong>Marketing Director<\/strong> of Ducati Motor Holding, which gave me an opportunity to not only showcase my passion for the company, but also prove my marketing knowledge and abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Interning at Ducati is a great opportunity for me, as I am developing on my existing experiences. The internship has made it possible for me to meet my idols, see my dream motorcycles and work for my dream company. I can <strong>relate my theoretical knowledge from my lectures, with their practical application at work<\/strong>. I was looking for an <strong>overall development of myself<\/strong>, and BBS fulfilled all my expectations. BBS has developed me as an individual, both personally and professionally. And in the end, all I can say is that\u00a0<em>\u201cBBS was my launch-pad to achieve my dreams.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kaustubh Sapkale<\/strong> &#8211; India<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/hp\/?p=1572\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Master in Marketing, Communication and New Media<\/a> &#8211; Class of 2017\/2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am Kaustubh Sapkale, a student of the Master in Marketing, Communication and New Media at Bologna Business School.
