Personal Summary
——————————-
Twenty years ago, while being interviewed for an intern job in India, I was asked a question that stayed with me till today; “What gives you happiness?” Over the years, I have been asked the same question in different forms, multiple times, at job interviews and at workplaces. I realize that learning something new, gives me happiness and is a driving factor in my personal and professional life. Every major decision I made in my life, personal and professional, is ultimately motivated by my desire to learn new things. I shall indeed remain a true learner, a ‘Student Always’.
In the year 2000, having equipped with latest technologies and knowledge in Accounts, Statistics domain, started my career in Information Technology with a company in to delivering financial products for trading platforms. At the early stages of my career, had an opportunity to involve in the development of financial products for institutions like ANZ Bank from Australia, Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) which added to my knowledge and experience.
In the year 2003, I had an opportunity to join Franklin Templeton Investments to be part of a true financial institution. In Franklin Templeton, for all these 15+ years, worked on various technologies to support Franklin Templeton Operations and played various leadership roles in the company that have enriched my experience to a new level.
Franklin Templeton gave me enormous satisfaction not just as a career professional but also as a complete human being. The philanthropic activities that I took part through our organization’s charity wing “Involved” have taught me the importance of humanity. The happiness that I used to see in the eyes of underprivileged children of the orphanage or the blind school continues to motivate me to give back a lot to the community.
As the thirst for learning new never stops, I have enrolled in “International school of Engineering” for a “Certification in Big Data Analytics and Optimization” to supplement my work experience where I have been introduced to statistics, normal distributions, logistic and linear regression. This program is certified by Language Technologies Institute of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). Apart from this 6-month program, completed a training in “Advanced Business Analytics Using R” from a premier institution, Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad.
These varied learnings and experiences have motivated me to further expand my horizons and completed Master’s degree in Information Technology Management from Indiana University to bridge the gap and ensure the necessary transition to the next level. The 20+ years of industry experience has provided me with the knowledge of various technologies and leadership skills essential to build a career, have motivated me to further expand and transition to the next level. so, to fulfill my wish to achieve a Doctorate, I have obtained admission into “Global Doctorate of Business Administration in AI and Data Sciences (GDBA)” offered by Rennes School of Business, France. I am currently pursuing the GDBA program to enhance my knowledge and abilities that will support my career and growth in the years to come.
