After graduating from Manipal Institute of Technology in 2018, I worked as a Quality Assurance Engineer at voestalpine India for 7 months. With encouragement from my school friends, I quit the job to try my hand at establishing a pet services aggregator start-up as I believed that it was the best time in my life to take such a risk. Though the start-up did well initially, I soon realised that I needed more knowledge in the art of business administration and made a rather late decision of sitting for B-school entrance exams. This was back in July 2019 when I got primed to run the start-up into the ground and signed up for CAT/IIFT coaching classes. 8 months later I was sitting in front of a panel at IIFT ready to narrate my professional journey and hoping they would like it enough to let me in. As many of you would soon find yourself in a similar position, I would like to share that day’s experience to help you join the college of your dreams.

So I just took up a job that I love but also ensured to have sufficient time for preparation for my MBA.
