My sister is my idol and my mentor. She has imparted me the values that she had learned in her school and college. She has shown me that everything is achievable. Going to Birla School was one of the best decisions of her life and that made her what she is today and I could think of no better person than her to be my mentor.
Being An Outlier
All my life I have battled with expectations. Majorly it was the expectation to stand out of the crowd like my sister. After scoring a low 66% in 11th class, I was expected to get back up and do well in 12th class so as to join Delhi University for B.com Honours. There were only a handful of students from Vrindavan who had gone to the prestigious Delhi University. For that, I had to devote a lot of time to studies. But that didn’t stop me for pursuing my passion for badminton and I won the national level inter-school badminton competition held at G.L.A. University, Mathura. At the end, I did well in my exams and went to Delhi University for my graduation. After all the constraints, my determination and perseverance brought me to my dream university.
After coming to Delhi, I could witness the growth and the level of intellect the city had to offer. The competition was tough. My parents again expected me to stand out of the crowd and achieve something great. I decided to prepare for CAT (Common Admission Test) to pursue MBA in a premier institution. At my very first attempt, I scored 96.84 percentile and got the option to join many top tier b-schools. I can proudly say that at a young age of 20 years, I have joined Indian Institute of Management Ranchi (IIM Ranchi) for MBA program and fulfilled all the expectations of my parents. My juniors look up to me and ask me for any advice they need. I try to help and inspire them in any way I can.
I have to admit that I have been very fortunate. It wasn’t easy to come this far to IIM Ranchi. But I have a long journey ahead and I am nothing but excited for it.

T Manikanta
I am an Avid Reader, Public Speaker, and a Marketing Enthusiast. As an optimist, I always kept learning from the challenges and treasured all the lessons that life had taught me. As a firm believer in actions than words, I respond rather than reacting to situations. Openness to feedback and willing to improvise keeps me going and I love the same in person I interact with. After BE from Osmania University, I've worked with Wells Fargo as a Quality Assurance Analyst for 3 years. Currently, I am pursuing MBA from IIM Ranchi and would love to explore the opportunities that come along my way.
