My new role will see me leading client businesses through transformation and strategy to ensure operational excellence. Where will you be working after graduation? I kickstart my corporate career at a multinational company which specializes in information technology services and consulting with leading capabilities in digital, cloud and security. They included leading the electrical department of a frontline warship, chartering a strategic road map for a new missile unit in Karnataka, and procuring and supplying weapon spares to afloat ships and submarines of the Indian Navy’s Western fleet.
I was fortunate to have held a multitude of responsibilities. Where was the last place you worked before enrolling in business school? I was a military officer in Indian Navy and retired at the rank of Lieutenant Commander. Undergraduate School and Degree: An engineer by profession, I attended the Krishna Institute of Engineering and Technology in Ghaziabad, India where I earned a Bachelor of Technology degree in Electrical and Electronics engineering. Myself and others crammed in a tiny space, who believe that the elevator journey is too small for a meaningful discourse, opt to stand quietly as Kenny G paints a love song in the background.
