About

A lot of important milestones in my life, like mastery in piano, international recognition in music, co-founding a start-up to critical resource at workplace have been due to a go-getter attitude. This spirit was imbibed in me since childhood, primarily by my family and teachers via the axiom of ‘Think, Aim and Achieve!’. This has been a constant guiding principle in my life and is, I believe, what will help me climb the corporate ladder. I joined XLRI to understand how my experience translates into the nuances of real business concepts. My short-term ambition is to work with a top MNC to sharpen my analytical skills, and hone a strategic mind-set. I believe that learnings from XLRI, combined with corporate experience will help transform me into an effective Corporate Leader of the future.
