PART B
Life is a journey of learnings with lots of ups and downs. Being confident and chasing your dreams is what helps you achieve your ambitions and goals in life. Always eager to learn and explore things in life urged me to think differently and think about new things and ways to achieve them. Being born and brought up in a business family, I was clear to pursue commerce and make my career in the field of business. Entering into one of the top colleges in the country was the first step towards achieving my goal. Taking up B.com (Hons.) as my graduation degree from NMIMS shaped me into a different and confident person who is ready to take up challenges. During my graduation, I interned with Skoda Auto India Pvt. Ltd., which gave me an insight of the real corporate world. This gave me practical knowledge of the theory I had been studying and made me curious to learn more about the real world. Always keen on learning and exploring, I had an opportunity to intern in Egypt for 6 weeks and get to know about people from different parts of the world. These little steps were significant in bringing me closer to my ambition of being in the real business world that runs the economy of the nation.
Coming from a small village near Nagpur and moving to Mumbai has given me lot of experiences as to how things function in life. Choosing my post graduation degree as MBA was not a tough choice as I have always been inclined towards the field of business. While my under graduate degree from NMIMS gave me a solid foundation, a management degree from the same institution will be ideal for developing the required skill set, leadership ability and influential network to achieve my goal.
