When I was a kid, my father used to work at an Edible Oil refinery, sometimes I

used to accompany him to work during my free time.

I loved watching and learning about different processes involved in the operation
of the plant, be it control of the machines, management
of the workers or processing of the raw materials. I was always fascinated with
this idea of transformation of inputs into such useful goods and services,
in my case processing of seeds to cooking oil. I never realised when this
fascination turned into an inspiration for me.
Growing up I learnt about the dire necessity of chemical engineering for
applications across a wide spectrum including industrial, medical and
technological fields and it has always been nothing less than intriguing to me
owing to a plethora of intricate processes, equipments and techniques.
I was thereby privileged to be enrolled into BMS College of Engineering, one of the
country�s most premier technical institutions, for the Chemical
Engineering undergraduate program. There I�ve had a comprehensive exposure to
plenty of relevant chemical engineering subjects,
which have significantly enhanced my cognition of this field.

To improve my grasp on various concepts beyond our curriculum, I took part in

various programs and competitive events.
I bagged the Runners-up position at the Sustainability Challenge conducted by the
prestigious Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
My task was to design a production plant in the most sustainable way possible.
Additionally, my theoretical understanding of
these subjects was further enhanced during my internship, where I got the
oppurtunity to closely learn how a plant operates and all the process which goes
behind the
manufacturing of a product. I also had the opportunity to visit multiple industries
like Bosch and Jubilant Life Sciences,
which helped me understand the functioning and working of an organization.

Keeping in mind the importance of over-all personality development, while fixating

focus on one�s academic prowess, I have actively taken part
in numerous extra curricular undertakings. I was part of the core commitee of an
NGO, Gramiksha, where we strive to help augment the welfare of
destitute children by focusing on their education as our primary agenda. I was also
appointed event-coordinator for our department technical
fest �Confluence� where I learnt to improve my managerial and logistical skills.

One of the ways of becoming a good manager is by having a sound understanding of

people around you
