As a kid, I always saw my dad reading India today and telling me about the personalities on its cover page. It has always been a dream to become a strong business personality.

Any advice to students considering joining RICS SBE?

Take every subject in every semester quite seriously. You never know what an impact a small subject like Ethics and Management can make on your professional life. Dream Big and work hard to chase them.

How did the MBA program at RICS SBE help you?

It has made me industry-ready. I got selected in every company i gave an interview for.

How was life at RICS SBE? (Campus, faculty, activities, events)

Being the Intellectual Secretary, it was so much fun to lay the foundation of the Debating Society, to arrange quiz competitions, attend National Entrepreneur Challenge at IIT Bombay and completely nail it. One of the best and busiest days of overall growth I must say.

Share experiences from work life.

Since we had courses like Real Estate Laws and Regulations, It was easy for me to understand and work on government bids, to attend pre-bid meetings. The Strategic Management, Advanced Excel course and Communication skills helped me with my professional writing, drafting emails, working on-demand estimates and analysis.

What were you doing before coming to RICS SBE?

Working as a Valuation engineer

Where did you get placed?

I was placed in Leighton Asia Contractors, but I joined Anarock Property Consultants in Strategic Advisory and Valuations Department.

Where did you intern? How did the internship help you?

I interned at a Developer firm in Bhopal. My internship made me realise how convenient it is for a well-read person to implement the skills into actions.

Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

I see myself being as an MRICS and CAIA certified professional, moving close to my dream of becoming India's well-known names in the field of Real Estate.
