HEC Paris MBA students are always creative, especially in the ways that they get to know each other. Long before the first on-campus icebreaking session or welcome-day event, students work together on a video project that introduces them to their classmates. The September 2018 intake’s video, spearheaded by Lovish Gupta and Eduardo Ortiz, also had the goal of showcasing an aspect of each student’s home country while celebrating France’s footballing prowess. With the country’s 2018 World Cup victory, Lovish says that it just “made sense to join all our countries through football.”
