Influenced by
I have been fortunate to have positive influences throughout my life in the form of Family and Friends … However the life changing influence came from my mom’s strength & perseverance and daughter’s positive stance which helped me reach where I am today
My family background
Coming from a strong backing of a Gujarati joint family of India, I am blessed with wonderful support of the families of my two brothers & a sister. My father’s value system has given me the courage and prudence to work through the odds.
Thoughts on Education system of our country
In the middle of all the discussions of the Indian education system being rigid, I believe our education system provides us with an opportunity to get introduced to various subject matters that help us identify our strengths and likings to pursue appropriate career path. Though we work through our specialized skills on a regular basis, in the current competitive world it arms us with the versatility to deal with our non specialized areas as well.
Initiative to develop a country
Capable professionals should target for an economically independent India and choose their career options from the strengths and opportunities available in India for ex: agriculture, home industries, various cultural arts and crafts support, Ayurveda etc.
Professionals today should target for an overall growth of India through initiatives that supports different classes and Industries to make India economically independent and not succumb to economic dynamics of other countries

My role model

Brief description about me
I come with a total experience of about 18 years out of which I have more than 14 years of experience in IT. I have played various leadership roles, viz., Delivery Manager, Program Interface, Project Manager and Test Manager during my IT Tenure.
Coming from a background of development in Microsoft technology, my core skill is software testing. My previous engagement was End to End test management for British Telecom Projects and currently holding the role of Offshore Delivery Manager for Philips Test Factory at Mahindra Satyam
Trying out new things excites me and jumping into unknown areas thrills me. “Discovering the unexpected is more important than confirming the known”. So I have tried my hands with delivering of Data Migration and Data warehousing projects also successfully. I strongly believe in “Quality is not an incident, but a habit”.
Important lesson learned
Never Give Up...it's never too easy.... AND It's never HARD as well..
