Tell us about yourself?
Born in Nagpur but brought up in Mumbai, A football fanatic, A die hard Manchester united fan, love to try out different foods, pro at fifa, bike rider.. The reason why I joined BMS is because it offers a lot of options to a student in the future be it wanting to do law, be in the administrative or even joining the corporate. It touches on a lot of subjects each semester which becomes easier for a student to choose what interests him or her. I plan to work for a year or two in a corporate either in the finance or supply chain department and then do my post graduate after gaining some work experience
