B) As Barack Obama said, “We’re the only ones we’ve been waiting for”. Now I can happily parrotthis to anyone who would listen to me that we indeed are our best superpower.
Growing up, I had an aversion to public speaking, and I counted that as my weakness. A desire change that triggered when I heard Tyrion Lannister, a character from Game of Thrones, say “Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you.” I remember hearing that dialogue and telling myself that not only do I only have to face my fears but overcome them as well.
This one incident juxtaposes the sense of an ending of a doubt, combined with spurs of invigorating energies to take up new challenges.
It all started when I had participated in a debate competition only to get cold feet at the very last moment. I went blank and looking at the audience waiting for me to speak wasn’t a beautiful sight either. So, I left the stage without competing. However, giving up wasn’t an option.
Resolved to change this, I became member of my college’s street play society and later, organizer of the Commerce Fest of my college. Not only I overcame my fears and set a benchmark for myself, I also added skills of efficient organization which continued to be my strength as I conducted several employee engagement activities at my workplace. Currently, I am pursuing my MBA in HR from IIM Ranchi. Now I am a crow and the flight shall always be high up in the sky.

I am a highly enthusiastic person and always ready for new challenges. For me, agility is the prime concern. Having a technical background in the field of mechanical engineering from NIT Agartala, I worked for Tata Motors for 46 months. There I was involved in the area of Operation and planning and this was the remarkable experience for me. Currently, I am pursuing MBA in HR from IIM Ranchi. My area of interest is not limited actually it's a little bit wider I have an interest in consulting, Analytics, Performance management, Industrial relation and more on the list. Traveling is the thing which is inseparable to me. This is my super hobby. Interacting with the new person and making networking, I do like.so, in short, I am an Icebreaker.
Amazingly crafted

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.
Yes, indeed Aditya Birla group is woven into our lifestyle as another parallel :) Can't agree more. "Wear your vulnerabilities and they will never harm you" a great message. keep up the Good Work.
