Why I am available as a mentor for the MCI Mentoring Program

Having had a privileged career path to date myself, I'd like to pass on my own learning and knowledge and help under-graduates and graduates to achieve the next level in their professional life. In return, this exchange helps me in staying connected with academia, latest research, and also other industries in which students pursue their career.

My wisdom/my motto

Hard work pays off!

When I look back at my time at MCI...

I start to miss my days being a student myself, I reminisce about my exchange semester in India, I appreciate how dedicated and motivated some of our lecturers have been, and I am thankful for providing me with many foundational elements of my career.
