My achievements
I always do my jobs with involvement and passion. I mostly worked in Indian comapnies without much of IT flavours where the IT was a customized function without visibility on the real life information technologies. I worked with electrical, electronics, auto ancillary, logisitics and information technology organizations. My career progression was not the same in every move of my career ladder, but I was able to perform well in every job role.I did my management degree, information system audit audit diploma and forensic certification during my employment in the last 10 years. I beleive that determnation and preseverance were my traints to attain my goals.I was always ready to learn and accustomed to the environment. That is the reason I am able to land on the IT major from Indian corporate environment. Also I was a quick learner on the IT environment to work with younger genearation and run with their speed and precision.

Thoughts on Education system of our country
We follow reservation system post independence, but it has not attained the objective of its intent. In todays scenario, the education system is more coomercialized and degree and certifiations are purchased through influence and money. We need to recognize only the merit based selections and not otherwise. But without requried knowledge and skills if a person is elevated it will not be a good sign for the nation which will oneday fall from reality. Education system should not be theoratical learning, it needs application of mind in real life. In today's world if you hadhold a student till he gets a degree, he will lack confidence and will not learn what is he going to do. Make education highly merti based and provide economic support to weaker sections of the society. Please do not compromise and ignore the quality of a student's skill and knowledge by not giving him the right seat in the right college.
Important decision
1. Joined management degree (MBA) in 2002 and finsished the course in single attempt during employment.
2.Accepted the job opportunity in IBM irespective of the position and compensation offered.
Couple of years from now

Influenced by
Any successful entreprnuer who made it from the scratch and reached the top through untiring hard work...of course I beleive that every success also carries some amount of luck with right timing and favourable positions of horoscopic stars of the individual.
