About 2-3 months ago, while browsing the Web, I came across a website named “PaGalGuY – Everything of MBA”. A whacky name and a bold tagline was all that was needed to entice my curiosity buds so I began surfing. More I surfed, the clearer it became to me that the bold tagline was no gag – It INDEED had EVERYTHING imaginable related to MBA.
Started in 2002, Pagalguy is India’s biggest MBA preparatory resource website. There are thousands of forums in which you can discuss anything and everything related to MBA. What is so special about this place that makes it so diverse from other preparatory resources websites?
First and foremost is the gargantuan size of its registered users. Some 7,00,000 users use this site in order to participate in more than 2 million + discussion posts.
Second USP of Pagalguy is the sheer quality of peers and seniors on board. A great chunk of Current students from almost all major B-schools are Pagalguy users that guide and help aspirants on any topic from the quality of food served to the admission criteria, placements, courses, whatever. You just shoot the question and more often than not, it will be replied enthusiastically by a student enrolled at that particular institute. Information secured in this way is more authentic and elaborate than through advertisements or college websites.
If someone is looking for serious competition during the preparation phase, and by serious I mean SERIOUS, Paagalguy is the place to be. It opens our conscience to an elite group of applicants who are invariably at the top of the table during the Mock CATs. Interacting with these people somehow brings a more competitive feel than say, reading the score of a topper on your result screen (at least it brings out a more competitive trait in my case).
Forums and Threads are easily accessible and information content available is top notch. A major task in keeping the threads clean and informative is performed by the Moderators (Pagalguy users with a helping nature and loads & loads of free time.... just kidding :P) who are somehow, not thanked enough. Kudos to you - You Guys Rock .
All this information is transmitted efficiently, believe it or not, with a Laid Back and relaxed attitude. People actually take time out to help their competitors with their queries, trials & tribulations, aspirations, dejections, etc – which is the real spirit of Pagalguy. The atmosphere is usually fun and browsing the site all day long is a pleasurable experience.
Here’s a link to the PaGalGuY Song : Sung by Sarang Tatimatla and music by Apurv Pandit. Great Work. :D
