Ever since my childhood I have been fascinated and mystified by the working of machines. Watching a simple arrangement of gears perform complex function was nothing less than an illusion. I was always fascinated by games like Lego and Machine Mechanics because they required my utmost concentration and attention. Dismantling and mantling my toys always gave me a sense of satisfaction. Overdriven by my fascination and curiosity I took science as a major in high school and finally mechanical engineering as a specialization in my bachelors degree.
During my under-graduate studies, I took part in many technical and non-technical events to keep myself updated with the latest technological developments. I took part in many TED-X conferences hosted by my University. Through these conferences I realized how simple concepts from various engineering fields could be integrated and converted into a technology that could be used to provide optimum sustainability and improve the efficiency of various mechanical processes. To test my theoretical knowledge, I took part in “SAE Mini Baja”, an annual event conducted by SAE - Society for Automobile Engineers. Out of the 115 teams that participated, our team comprising of 25 members secures the 83th overall position. I was the senior member of the team and was responsible for designing and fabricating the suspension system, an important component in a 4 wheel-drive All Terrain Vehicle. I also helped my fellow team mates in logistics and production-planning. The event educated me on the practical applications of many engineering concepts giving me a new thinking and access to new possibilities. I was also able to refine my management skills and improve my leadership qualities by managing a group of bu...

...ion is the norm of the day. Entrepreneurs are looking favourably at establishing manufacturing or service units in addition to the customary trading units. This is a perfect opportunity for me as it offers career and financial growth. I look forward to joining my father’s organization and helping him expand his business. My long -term goal is to open a consulting firm through which I will be able to provide services to young and budding industrialists to build their organizational competency and efficiency to become global players.
My journey in VIT University has been amazing and memorable. It’s truly said, VIT University is a place to learn and a chance to grow. I hope my decision to pursue my MS program at The University of Minnesota will bring with it more challenges, memories and fun which will make me proficient, well-groomed and an all-rounded human being.
