For me, my parents have been the main sources of my inspiration. In order to give me and my younger brother good education and living, they strived hard continually. They always encouraged us to follow our aspirations and chase our career dreams with a focused approach. I desire to give back to my parents for all that they have done, establishing myself as a successful professional and making them proud. All these years, this thought drove me to excel in whatever I do. I have been consistent in being a proficient student throughout my school and college and obtain good grades. I completed SSC and HSC from Christ School, aggregating 87% and 88.5%, respectively. My love for the business field led me to take up B.Com. from Patel College of Commerce and Economics.

I actively took part in several co-curricular activities toleverage my overall personality. By participating in various cultural fests and dance competitions in college, I got to develop my interpersonal and communication skills. Occasional wins boosted my confidence level, and I channelized my efforts in strengthening my practical skills.
