Scholarship

The above quote by Malli Mastan Babu, describes best the personality of this unique person. Cut from an uncommon mould, the IIM Calcutta Alumni was special. He was an avid mountaineer, conquering all the major peaks around the world. From Asia to both the Americas, Oceania to Antarctica and Europe he has climbed them all. Unfortunately he died young, in one of his usual mountaineering expedition.

We are part of the environment; in fact we are the environment. Exploring our world is part of a crucial process of growing- up and gaining self- knowledge. When we explore our world we are simultaneously discovering ourselves. When climbing, Mal Ii Mastan was on a journey, a journey of self discovery Mountaineering is for the intrepid and the courageous. Once, someone asked George Mallory the British climber, why he wanted to climb Mount Everest his answer was simple ‘Because it is there’. The same principle must have driven Mal Ii Mastan. eSquare Academia based in Dubai is rooted in the concept of good mentoring.
