Our Scholars: Conversations

I completed my schooling from Noida in the year 2015. Following that, I pursued MBBS from Seth GS Medical College in Mumbai, where I also successfully completed my medical internship in 2021. I am currently pursuing my post-graduation from IIM Ahmedabad after achieving a 99.66 percentile in CAT 2021. As part of the programme, I am now completing my Summer Internship Program (SIP 2023) at Nestle in Gurugram, Haryana.

‘I'm a sailor at heart.’ This line, which I proudly started one of my scholarship essays with, now holds even more significance as I achieved my Sailor certification from the Yachting Association of India. Now, interning in a coveted markets and discretionary trading role at Edelweiss, I blend my love for finance with a passion for calculated risks. Prior to my MBA, I gained rich international experience in bleeding edge fields such as Robotics, Cloud and Industry 5.0 in Japan and Korea. Navigating both the markets and life's vast oceans, I embrace adventure, whether it's surfing the financial and digital waves or freediving into the depths of the oceans. As I aspire to captain India's ship in the global finance and technology seas, I'm honoured to carry the prestigious title of an 'Aditya Birla Scholar' in my future voyages!

My association with the Aditya Birla Scholarship has been a long and memorable one. I graduated from National Law University Jodhpur as an Aditya Birla Scholar. This association with the Group introduced me to the business and management side of the world. It encouraged me to pursue an MBA and equip myself with the knowledge and skills required to excel in this domain. I have been fortunate enough to be recognised as an Aditya Birla Scholar for the second time at IIM Ahmedabad. I hope to eventually leverage my legal knowledge in a business management and leadership-oriented role.

Apart from meeting brilliant luminaries, I made some great friends at the Scholarship ceremony. I have tried to incorporate the advice given by the esteemed interviewers into my life, whether it be Mr. Ashok Ramchandran's suggestion of managing life along with passion or Ms. Pallavi Shroff's encouragement to expand my scope to the corporate and trade sectors. In light of the latter, I participated in the John H Jackson ELSA International Trade Law Moot where our team emerged as the winners of the West and South Asian Regional Rounds, set to represent our institution at the WTO Headquarters in the World Rounds in June 2023. All in all, the Aditya Birla Scholarship has not only eased a significant part of my law school but also inspired me to try something new.
