Q: What have you done in your life that you are the proudest of?
As part of the Abhyudaya program at SP Jain Institute of Management & Research, I got the opportunity to mentor a young girl of Grade 7, from an underprivileged background. As she opened up to me I realised that she harboured the dream of speaking English. I took it as a challenge and we worked together on her diction, common phrases, colloquialisms and even her spellings to an extent.
At the end of one year, she was able to confidently recite a paragraph in English and was appreciated for the same in front of her entire class. I was extremely proud of her but in many ways was proud of myself too..
Q: What have you done that sets you apart from the crowd?
I have always been curious and never been afraid to try my hand at anything new. Be it getting involved in the organizing of the biggest management & cultural fest in Mumbai or promoting the annual theatre production of our college. From being a student editor for Times of India's Newspaper in Education to being the Marketing Head for the biggest media inter-college fest in Mumbai (Blitzkrieg '10), I've always been ready to experiment. I was chosen to represent SPJIMR at an event at FMS Delhi and cleared round after round of grueling tasks over 2 action-packed, hectic days to finally emerge winner; competing with participants from over 15 B-schools across the country. In conclusion, I believe that I stand out from the crowd because I'm willing to experiment and try almost anything.
