At 26, Pul Dharmendrasinh Parmar (MBA 2025) appears to have a career that’s taking off. She has edited articles, novels, and screenplays for which she served as a beta reader, one of which was adapted into a TV show in India. She also built her career in Canada, working in customer service supervisory roles, as well as content creation and writing, and donor engagement and tele-fundraising. While applying for jobs in creative fields, she noticed that many positions required understanding aspects from a business perspective. Recognizing this gap, she didn’t leave her future to chance and applied to Sasin. “I didn’t come from a family business background, but I enjoy writing and helping with communications in a corporate setting. That’s why I wanted to understand the business side of corporate work, because I haven’t actively worked in a corporate company,” said Pul. MBA courses at Sasin, such as Business Strategy, Accounting, and Statistics, have helped Pul understand corporate organizations, decision-making, and ESG (environmental, social, governance) principles. They have also sharpened her skills in data analysis, organizational strategy, and donor/charity logistics—knowledge she can apply in communications or fundraising roles. “In content strategy, you focus mostly on marketing and communications—how you put out content for the company. But business strategy is about the inner workings of the company and how you position yourself,” she explained. “It gives me a better idea of how to help the company present itself because now I understand both the content and the business sides.” Pul completed a bachelor’s degree in Media and Communications at Mahidol University after finishing high school in India. She later pursued postgraduate certificate programs in professional writing, communications, and content strategy in Canada. She felt that most of her previous classes were lecture-heavy, limiting the amount she could absorb. “At Sasin, I think there’s more room for interaction and discussions that elicit insights from my classmates,” said Pul. “Listening to their experiences helps me understand how what we’re learning is applied in different industries.” But that’s not all for Pul. Passionate about advocating for mental health, she hopes to contribute to the field, where she feels there are many small charities and clinics but very few large organizations or NGOs dedicated specifically to mental health. Looking ahead, Pul sees her journey at Sasin not just as a stepping stone for her career, but also as a foundation for creating meaningful impact. And for those considering the program, Pul has this to say: “Sasin’s MBA is a good option, because it has a good balance between being global and having a regional focus. Compared to going to just Thai universities for a Master’s that are heavily focused on Thai culture, I think Sasin gives a good balance of both, and a lot of networking opportunities.”
