Give us an instance when you failed miserably and how did you overcome that downfall?
For me, Failures have always been one more chance to prove myself in a better way, I have stated this above also - I love the process of achieving a goal and thus failures have never demoralised me, rather they have extracted a better version of me at each instance. I got my admission into IIM Shillong in my second attempt at CAT, I could manage an average score in my first attempt and I believe that was one failure which made me introspect a lot. I analysed the reasons associated with that failure and I realised there have to be serious modifications if I need to get a good score. I used to make a weekly plan, a monthly plan and monitor how my preparations are going. My working hours at Maruti used to stretch up to 7-8 pm, but I never made this an excuse for not focusing on CAT preparations, I used to extend my study hours till my daily plans were not met. I had to sacrifice a lot on my social circle, on my family but in the end, everything was worth it.
What is the biggest risk that you have taken so far and why?
I have been blessed with a supportive family and so there were not many risks involved in reaching so far, but yet there were few tough choices that I had to make to shape my career. During the 4th year of my graduation, my batch mates started preparing for GRE/GMAT and had the ambition to pursue higher studies outside India. I prepared for these competitive exams too, but when it was the moment of making a choice I decided to stay back in India. This decision was a big risk that I took at that moment, the major reason for such decision was that I was not willing to do something because many thought it was good. My instincts never pushed me for it and I have faith in what I feel while making choices. And as it is said, the dots connect, I believe my decision has proved to be appropriate, had a chance to work with the biggest supply chain operations of India when it comes to Automobile and manufacturing, and also made to a reputed Institute. The experience has been enriching so far.
If you had a magic wand, what is the one problem in India that you would magically wish away? Explain why.
India is a blessed nation in terms of geography and natural resources, but still, we do not hold that position in the world which we deserve. There is one problem which is the major root cause for this and that is the lack of education. Through my magic wand, I would like to resolve this problem. If we have higher level of education it will decrease unemployment, decrease corruption, have positive impacts like a better standard of living, decrease in exploitation and terrorism. Imagine a country with learned politicians who will think for the betterment of the nation. Education at the lower level of the pyramid which has a major chunk of the population will be a game changer for the country.
