Ever since high school I have always taken leadership roles, and always proactively volunteered to take managerial and organizational responsibilities. Thus, through various academic, extra-curricular and community related activities, I have been subconsciously honing my management abilities. By learning how to lead teams effectively and motivating each team-member to perform to the best of their capabilities, I have sharpened my leadership skills. By organizing events in college and completing all tasks within strict timelines, I have developed my organizational abilities. I am now keen to further sharpen my existing skill set and prepare myself for the much more challenging roles that I aspire to take on in my future career.

Pursuing the Bachelor of Commerce, Honours degree at the University of Delhi, I have taken several academic courses in fields of management, business studies, accounting and finance, economics and marketing strategies. My undergraduate studies have thus given me a concrete base for research and study in Management and other managerial courses. Apart from academics, I have also utilized my college years to participate in extra-curricular activities that have allowed me to lead teams and manage varied responsibilities. As a senior member of the debating team of our college, I have led my team to win debating contests at the inter-varsity level. I also helped to manage the organisation of the Guru-Shishya Debate held at our university. My managerial skills have also helped me at the sports field, wherein as the Vice-Captain of the Cricket team of the university, I have often devised strategies, team-tactics and sporting plans allowing us to outsmart the competition and win coveted sporting trophies.

I have also grabbed every opportunity to engage myself in meaningful academic projects, learning opportunities at international universities, and industry internships to gain a pragmatic and more holistic perspective of the field of business management. By pursuing a summer school at London School of Economics, I interacted with business students from all parts of world and worked collaboratively with them to complete academic assignments and projects. This stint gave my market learning at a much-needed international perspective.

In 2015, I pursued a summer internship with a telecommunications company where I assisted the managerial team in formulating advertising plans to help grow the flagship brand and make changes in the marketing strategy for the brand. The subsequent summer I worked with another reputed business organization where I worked with clients and team managers to find solutions for their business problems. The most rewarding of my internships was during the summer of 2017 where I worked alongside the senior execution and business development team of a real-estate development company. I was involved in assessing the financial viability of a new real-estate development project, and in doing so was able to learn several practical facets of the world of business management. All these internships, albeit in different industries, helped me to appreciate the management styles of my superiors and managers under whose guidance I was able to contribute to the firms.

In order to gain from professional experiences and networking opportunities, I am applying to the Forum-Nexus Summer program. I feel that learning under the guidance of your reputed faculty will augment my abilities to build an illustrious career, helping me learn about the latest developments in the world of global opportunities, novel styles of international marketing, and international business. I will then be able to make the best use of my passion for business to add value to whichever international business enterprises that I work with by helping them make better marketing decisions. I would be very proud to be a part of the student community of Forum-Nexus Study Abroad that has earned itself a distinct reckoning amongst the best in the world.
