Journey from a loner and an introvert to a confident and upfront person

At Cvent’s Annual Company Wide Event, I was lucky enough to win the Rookie of The Year Award. It’s given to the employee who is fairly new, yet outstands all the newbies with his ideas and performance. It feels motivating when you have been in the system for 2-3 months and your fellow nominees have been there for almost a year, and, you still win !

This takes me back to my days at Manav Rachna, which has largely influenced my character that strives for excellence in the work one does. Being the Vice-Chair of one of the Technical Societies at my college, I have always been my level best in doing justice to my role. Holding one of the front roles, I was lucky enough to experience immense exposure. Progression from being a loner and an introvert to becoming a confident and upfront person, is one of the achievements I owe to my college. The Career Development Centre & Career Resource Centre Teams at Manav Rachna takes care of that and makes sure that you get all set for the corporate world. Because of their intensive training sessions, it took me very little time to adjust in the corporate world. They made my college-to-corporate transition really smooth because of which, I was able to concentrate on my trainings at work rather than trying to fit in.

I just want to thank Manav Rachna and my teachers who have been always there to extend a helping hand regarding any issue faced during my college life and made me capable of standing where I am today.
