people.
3. Why vanguard or Bangalore as you are from Delhi?
a. If I talk generally, then I will say that my family and myself was impressed with
ARKS Sir’s conference. As well, I have been aspirants from IIM people, looking
that these people have really something different from others. I would not be able
to prepare like those people to get into it, might be because I have not been grown
up in such type of environment. But, Vanguard is a new college, which is run by
IIM and XLRI people. Every college has its own USP, thus, this college also has
its own USP of Mentorship and practical knowledge. I am sure we will not be
getting these types of facilities in other colleges. Thus, I chose Vanguard.

are benefits to being fresh. I am very passionate about what I do. Everything is new
to me, so I am that much more excited to learn everything. Experienced people, even
though they're probably successful, are not as willing to change. In fact, I don't think

a changing world and if you're not motivated to do well, I don't think the company can
do well.
