I was born and raised in Hyderabad, a vibrant IT hub in India. Since my childhood, I've been a passionate sports enthusiast. During my school years, I actively participated in tennis and football, finding joy and inspiration on the field. However, when I embarked on my journey to Pune for my undergraduate studies, I temporarily set sports aside to focus on my education. My passion for finance and accounting led me to pursue my undergraduate degree in this field.

To further hone my expertise, I embarked on a journey to earn professional qualifications, which led me to the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), where I attained certification in these subjects. After my graduation, I returned to Hyderabad, and found a rewarding opportunity with one of the "Big Four" firms, Deloitte. I joined their Audit and Assurance Department, where I gained invaluable insights and experience in the intricacies of financial auditing. My time at Deloitte sharpened my understanding of the financial industry.

Despite my professional endeavors, I never lost touch with my passion for sports. I found a new love for boxing, which soon became an integral part of my life. The discipline, dedication, and determination required in the sport resonated with me, and I quickly embraced it as a means of personal growth and expression.

In summary, I am a finance and accounting professional with a background deeply rooted in sports. My journey has taken me from the bustling streets of Hyderabad to the fast-paced world of financial auditing, all while keeping my love for sports, particularly boxing, sustained. I am a dedicated individual who thrives on challenges and continually seeks to evolve both professionally and personally.

My decision to enrol in ESSEC for the Master in Management program, starting in Singapore, was firmly based on the alignment between the program's features and my career aspirations. This program is renowned for its flexibility and mobility as a global school. The exposure to a diversity of cultures is a unique and fulfilling experience. Having the freedom to select more than two-thirds of my courses empowers me to cultivate specific skills and prepares me for my professional journey. The opportunities at ESSEC are tailored to each individual's unique career and personal objectives. I mentioned my extracurricular activities not only to introduce myself but also to showcase the diversity within the ESSEC cohort.

Regardless of your future aspirations, the MiM program at ESSEC is well-equipped to assist you in achieving them. It combines unparalleled academic excellence with robust professional support.
