I have always given my 100 percent to anything that I do. Dedication and persistence are some of my best qualities.

During the early days of my graduation, my family had to go through a financial crisis. I just couldn't bring myself to ask for pocket money from my parents. That's when I started my own small business of baking and started making money out of the same. Apart from never having to ask money from parents, my college recognized me as a budding entrepreneur.

Later, fascinated by the various learning opportunities that were available in the market, further studies and a secured job was always on my mind during the final year of my graduation.

However, convincing my parents, cost of pursuing an MBA, fierce competition and high cutoffs for admissions in reputed colleges, were few of the challenges I faced and diligently overcame.

Along with managing final year studies, extracurricular activities and my business, I worked hard towards my goal. Today, I am a student of one of the top B schools in the country and I'm one of the youngest in my batch. Being a fresher with no experience never stopped me.

During my summer internship stint at a digital marketing agency, I was a part of the Social Media Marketing team, collaborating on various projects for brands such as Paytm, Marico, Gandhar oil, Anviti, Geocycle, Capgemini, OC Tanner etc. My contributions in these projects earned me gratification and recognition from my manager as well as the clients.

Challenges, they make life interesting. But overcoming them makes life meaninful!
