I WAS BORN IN A VILLAGE CALLED HALDAR IN BHARUCH DISTRICT IN GUJARAT. EVERYTHING IN OUR
VILLAGE REVOVLES AROUND AGRICULTURE AND THERE IS NO EMPHASIS ON EDUCATION. I REALIZED
VERY EARLY THAT MY PARENTS WERE DEPRIVED OF EDUCATION AND THEIR WISH WAS TO SEE THE
WORLD THROUGH MY EYES. I HAVE TRIED TO BE SINCERE AND DILIGENT WITH MY ACADEMICS AND
TRIED TO GET THE BEST OUT OF EDUCATION RATHER THAN SEEING IT AS A MEANS OF ACHIEVING
MILESTONES. MOVING FROM PRIMARY EDUCATION IN MY VILLAGE TO HIGHER SECONDARY IN
BHARUCH CITY TO MECHANICAL ENGINEERING IN ANAND WAS CHALLENGING BUT REWARDING.
MY SCORE OF 91.08% IN 10TH WAS HIGHEST IN THE HISTORY OF MY SCHOOL. I AM GOING TO BE THE 1ST
ENGINEER OF MY VILLAGE AND HAVE CONSTANTLY MAINTAINED DISTINCTION THROUGHOUT SCHOOL
AND COLLEGE. I BELIEVE THIS HAS BEEN BECAUSE OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM MY PARENTS AND
TEACHERS AND MY ABILITY TO DREAM BIG. APART FROM ACADEMICS A GOOD MIX OF SPORTS AND
PRATICAL TRAINING HAS ENRICHED MY THINKIN. I WAS AN OPENING BATSMEN OF MY CLASS CRICKET
TEAM WHICH HAS BEEN THE REIGNING CHAMPIONS TEAM IN THE COLLEGE CRICKET TOURNAMENT.I
HAVE PARTICIPATED IN COLLEGE TECH FESTS LIKE UDAAN, SAMATVA. I WAS ALSO FORTUNATE TO
ATTEND ENTREPRENEURSHIP AWARENESS CAMP ORGANIZED BY THE GOVT OF GUJARAT.
I AM A FUN LOVING PERSON. I BELIEVE THAT RELATIONS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY ARE VERY
IMPORTANT. I BELIEVE THAT ONE CAN NOT ENJOY THE REAL TASTE OF SUCCESS IF ONE DOES NOT HAVE
ANYONE TO CELEBRATE WITH. ALSO, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SURVIVE DURING TOUGH TIMES
WITHOUT THEIR ENCOURAGEMENT AND SUPPORT.
MY TRAINING AT GMM PFAUDLER AND FINAL YEAR PROJECT ON PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT MADE
ME REALIZE THE GAP IN MY KNOWLEDGE BASE AND I UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS CAN BE DONE ONLY
WHEN ONE HAS ENTIRE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT BUSINESS .THAT IS WHY I DONT WANT TO RESTRICT
MYSELF TO THE ENGINEERING DOMAIN ALONE. FROM MY VILLAGE TO MY COLLEGE, I HAVE GROWN IN
PERSPECTIVE THROUGH ENGINEERING AND NOW I WANT TO BROADEN MY PERSPECTIVE REGARDING
HOW A COMPANY WORKS. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN THE GROWTH OF AN
ORGANIZATION WORKING IN MIDDLE LEVEL MANAGEMENT IN SHORT TERM AND IN LONG TERM I
WANT TO SEE MYSELF IN THE TOP MANAGEMENT OF AN ORGANIZATION.

FOR THAT, I WILL REQUIRE KNOWLEDGE OF MANAGEMENT TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES AND I WILL GAIN
THAT THROUGH CASE STUDIES, PROJECTS, PEER LEARNING, EXCELLENT FACULTIES AND INDUSTRIAL
EXPOSURE THROUGH INTERNSHIP. IIM BANGALORE WILL PROVIDE ME THESE FACILITIES AND I THINK
MY STRENGTHS WILL HELP ME TO DO THAT.
