Touchwood, with God's blessings I did not have to face major challenge till class 10. But in class 11-12 preparing for IIT-JEE brought some hurdles. The coaching was very far off from my home. School plus coaching class was enough to drain off my energy for the day. I got time on off days only. But with parents support and God's blessings, I could clear JEE and took admission in IIT(BHU), Varanasi. That’s where I first moved away from home. That’s where we learn about the outside world and managing your own shit. Then came the corporate world. I got placed in Tata Steel Jamshedpur. After 1 year of management training, I was shouldered with responsibility. That was again a different phase of life. Moreover, I was a plant manager, where I had supervisors under me whose experience in the company was more than my age. And I was at the interface of management and supervisor grade employees. I can’t communicate anything to either side. It was a great learning experience, to deal with people and manage the operations of an entire unit. In my 3-year stint, I took up 11 projects. That's where I learned the most, I had to deal with all sort of cross-functional teams. This enhanced my people management skill and technical skills as well. This is where I decided what I need in my career and moved to IIT Delhi for MBA. Many people later asked me why didn’t I take computer science in some other college. I have just one answer for them, now I can’t go back and change my past, but I have my future in my hand and will always keep moving forward. This is life, we don’t always take the right paths, but with guidance and self-confidence, one will achieve success. And success is not a place where I have to reach, it’s a journey, to make a positive contribution to society and family in the best of my ability. Always be generous and have positive thoughts. Rise and Shine.
