Alumni | IIT Kanpur

"Experienced Application Development Analyst with a demonstrated history of working in the information technology and services industry. Skilled in Research, POI, Core Java, Microsoft Excel, and Selenium WebDriver. Strong engineering professional with a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) focused in Electrical Engineering from KIIT University." So that is what LinkedIn wrote for me a year ago. Well isn't automation great? I would summarise my skillset and myself as a genuinely lazy person who believes and works hard on automation to reduce the work I need to do myself. It's ironic that people assign me more work after that isn't it? I pride myself on providing quality results in whatever task I may take up. I excel in tasks which allow and encourage me to think outside the box. I love to innovate and bring ideas to life in the form of processes, prototypes and functional models that make my (well, that's how it starts right?) and others' life easier. I am now pursuing my MBA from IIT Kanpur with the intention of changing the world one small idea at a time and hopefully providing innovators a platform to attempt to do the same.

A Silver Lining - Ritwik Gupta, MBA, IIT Kanpur

A person's first career is always special. Fresh out of college, the entire world, so well imagined in our minds, suddenly appears to be something totally different. As the facade of being equipped and prepared for life slowly fades, the new intricacies of a new job slowly sink in.My experience
